Joint SPE Thailand / AIEN Monthly Technical Meeting
" Greenwashing and ESG: What you need to know "
March 21, 2024  ·  The Landmark hotel, Sukhumvit, Bangkok

Abstract:

‘ESG’ is a driving force, globally. It is at the forefront of many investors, contractors, policy-makers and consumers’ minds when making commercial decisions. Equally, an understanding of the rapidly growing ESG regulatory environment is critical to business owners in the energy sector, across the full value chain. To that end, being aware of the pitfalls of greenwashing and the significance of ESG analysis can empower those in the sector to make informed decisions, and in turn mitigate risk.

This talk is intended for business managers, commercial advisors, contracts, as well as all other interested parties and will cover: ESG and the energy trilemma; the energy transition – what does it mean; greenwashing and the evolving definition of ‘green’; the prevalence of greenwashing globally; comparison of APAC and some UK, E.U., Australian and US greenwashing-laws; enforcement trends as well as increased litigation and shareholder action; the rise of ‘greenhushing’ and its effects, good and bad; and risk mitigation strategies and practical tips.
