12 Oct 2024

Online English
Start: 14.30 (TPE) | 08.30 (CEST) / End: 16.30 (TPE) | 10.30 (CEST)

Join us to explore the intersection of ESG clauses and international arbitration, addressing key challenges in disputes arising from the CSDDD EU regulation and examining model clauses designed for sustainable development goals in contracts.

This online event delves into how the CSDDD EU regulation mandates the inclusion of ESG clauses in contracts and the resulting impact on international disputes. Experts will explore potential challenges, offer model clauses, and discuss issues that arise in arbitration concerning these clauses. Attendees will gain insights into the intersection of sustainability obligations and arbitration processes, with a focus on potential disputes.

This event is designed for arbitration practitioners, in-house counsel, legal advisors, and professionals involved in contracts with ESG obligations. Participants will learn about the legal frameworks surrounding the CSDDD EU regulation, how these clauses can affect dispute resolution, and the practicalities of handling ESG-related arbitration issues. This session will feature in-depth discussions on model clauses, keynote presentations from Ms. Emily Hay, and interactive Q&A opportunities to explore solutions to ESG-related challenges.

The event is co-organized by CIArb Taiwan Chapter, ADR Committee of the Taiwan Bar Association, ICC YAAF, Chen & Chang Attorneys-at-Law, and ArbBoutique.
