About the event
As of 2024 companies have to fulfill new ESG disclosure and due diligence obligations under the Swiss Code of Obligations. Together with our Ambassador Lonza, the UN Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein (GCNSL) invites you to an informal peer exchange meeting in Lonza's headquarters in Basel to discuss how companies tackle these new obligations. The meeting provides a safe space for participants to share their good practices and challenges with like-minded professionals.
In order to foster a dynamic dialogue and enriching exchange, we invite participants to preemptively ask questions and/or offer insights into their practices in the registration form. The discussion will be conducted under Chatham House Rules. For the time being, participation is restricted to organizations and excludes consultancies.
