9:00 AM - 10:00 AM | Responsibility and Regulation: The Role of Legal Teams in Social Impact Reporting

For every well-intentioned corporate responsibility initiative, there are regulatory and compliance consequences. Yet far too often legal ramifications remain an afterthought, leaving legal teams in a lurch.

How can leaders ensure compliance is at the forefront of corporate social responsibility efforts? What role does legal have in not only reviewing responsibility efforts, but actively shaping them? In conversation with ALM editor Heather Nevitt, Margaret Egan, General Counsel and executive sponsor of Hyatt’s World of Care, will highlight how her legal background and deep understanding of risk mitigation and the regulatory environment – along with her passion for sustainability – helps her shape and drive Hyatt’s ‘World of Care’ goals and commitments forward.
