Seminar Description:
As consumers continue to demand that the food they purchase meets certain production and transparency criteria, there has been increased pressure for companies to consider various factors and claims related to sustainability. These factors can range from compostability, recycling, and other sustainability claims to bans on certain materials such as phthalates and PFAS.
In part two of this series, attorneys from Steptoe and Johnson LLP review the current legal landscape for green claims for packaging at the federal and state level, and how companies can develop compliance programs to ensure liability exposure is minimized. This session also covers recycled content mandates and a discussion of the SEC’s proposed rule for climate-related disclosures, with a focus on steps public companies, and private companies within their value chains, can take to ensure compliance.
