COP26 and the corporate world: changing with the climate

Slaughter and May held a live streamed panel event with industry leaders to understand ahead of November the impact of COP26 for the corporate world and what comes next.

These interviews were followed by a live panel discussion featuring sustainability experts chaired by Claire Jeffs, Partner at Slaughter and May. Experts include Sue Garrard, Sustainability and Strategy Advisor, Ann Pettifor, Political Economist at Global Financial Economic System and Jonathan Labrey, Chief Policy Officer at Value Reporting Foundation.
