Gulf Coast: Environmental Social Governance Education Seminar

About this Event

Changing expectations of business, the new drivers behind the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) revolution, and how companies are responding to demands to increase transparency on their impacts. We decipher the sustainability reporting along the way.

Amanda Hsieh and David MacLean will speak to all current Global, National and Local mandatory regulations, and existing & emerging voluntary standards and certifications; examining Global expectations for International Corporations, like the Sustainable Accounting Board Standard (SASB) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), working our way down to requirements to build and operate spaces where occupants can be healthy and productive and everything in between.

Sean Murphy will speak to all of the above influencers and drivers that led to the decision to build the first LEED v4 Platinum building in Houston. Your chance to understand how each standard, code, initiative and emerging trend ultimately does or does not impact your life (Spoiler: They all do!).

Speakers:

Amanda Hsieh, COO at Global Affairs Associates

David MacLean, Reset AP, SASB, FSA, LEED AP,  President of McMac Cx
