But how companies address ESG is becoming less prescriptive and requires more tailoring of the risks and opportunities respective of their business strategy and embedded into their culture of compliance in order to ensure a sustainable approach.\n\nUnderstanding and applying ESG standards and regulations – The universe of ESG standards is wide and often confusing while country-specific regulations are rolling out at a quick clip. We discuss approaches for understanding which ESG standards may be most relevant to your business and current and emerging regulations to address now. We will also discuss ratings and how to align with standards reporting.\n\nDeveloping ESG metrics and goals for now and for a sustainable future – Prevailing market sentiment has been and still continues to focus on using metrics for measuring ESG performance\, primarily for climate and carbon goals. However\, without properly tying metrics back to strategic initiatives and understanding the explicit financial impact\, the measures can prove to be meaningless for sustainability and building a more resilient organization. We will further explore operational opportunities for implementing ESG initiatives in procurement\, supply chain\, and as part of asset management.\n\nESG Pitfalls: Understanding disclosure\, green-washing\, and dispute risks\n• What regulations require non-financial and financial disclosures and where?\n• What is green-washing and how can companies mitigate the risk?\n• How to know about risks and avoid litigation pertaining to ESG disclosures and operations?\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• Anna Athanasopoulou\, Head of Unit Proximity\, Social Economy\, Creative Industries\, DG Internal Market\, Industry\, Entrepreneurship and SMEs\, EUROPEAN COMMISSION\n• Brooke Hopkins\, Managing Director\, ALIXPARTNERS LLP (Moderator)\n• Maureen Kline\, VP Public Affairs & Sustainability\, PIRELLI TIRE NORTH AMERICA\n• Fabio Massimo Natalucci\, Deputy Director\, INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND\n• Annette Michelle (Shelli) Willis\, Partner\, TROUTMAN PEPPER\, LLP\n\nTIME:\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT / 16:00 h – 17:00 h CET\n\nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACC Members: Free\nEACC non-Members: Free\n\nREGISTER HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-responsible-capitalism-the-esg-integration-balancing-act/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210922T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210922T120000 DTSTAMP:20260531T095926 CREATED:20210707T183026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210708T133347Z UID:34142-1632308400-1632312000@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Patentability of AI Driven Inventions: The Push for Legislature to Play Catch up DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Program Brought to you by EACCNY.\n\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is being used more and more to develop new inventions without human aid.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACC Florida\n\nExpanding operations into new territories around the world has traditionally offered important commercial opportunities for both for multinational corporations and SMEs. Whereas the trend toward globalization was well underway\, the COVID-19 pandemic marked an abrupt halt\, leading to a global recession\, a severe disruption of global trade and a sharp decrease in foreign direct investments.\n\nSome countries are still managing the crisis. Others are slowly emerging from it with governments mostly focusing on supporting their domestic economies. Companies around the world however are looking at what commercial opportunities are available to them in other territories and considering how the sanitary crisis and its consequences is impacting plans to expand.\n\nLooking at Europe and the United States\, with a focus on financial transactions\, accounting\, taxation and human resources\, the panel will discuss the push towards more responsible governance\, how the tendency toward international alignment and cooperation between jurisdictions is being challenged by an increase in local\, sometimes idiosyncratic\, administrative and regulatory complexities and why these trends provide both challenges and opportunities for businesses considering expanding operations to other territories.\n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\nTrends toward more responsible Governance. When planning to expand\, companies need to consider the following:\n\n A shift away from traditional offshoring impacting the choice of new locations;\n Increased protection of employees as businesses are encouraged to be responsible employers;\n An increase in mandated use of third parties;\n Compliance requirements as part of market entry strategy with stricter penalties for non-compliance being implemented especially in more complex jurisdictions;\n Personal consequences for non-compliance on directors.\n\nTrends in international vs. local regulatory and administrative complexity. Issues include:\n\n\n Meeting global obligations with the trend toward standardization via regulations such as CRS\, UBO and FATCA;\n Managing international reporting requirements vs. local ones such as the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS);\n Navigating the complexities of local/regional jurisdictions opening up to international business while simultaneously enacting rules potentially impacting investments such as the European Commission’s Proposal for Regulating Foreign Subsidies Control;\n Understanding the domination of local legislation in some business areas such as accounting and incorporations;\n Managing the international and local complexities of assembling a workforce.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Juan Botin\, Project Director – Grupo Santander (Madrid)\n Jan Willem van Drimmelen\, Chief Commercial Officer & Head of North America – TMF Group (Amsterdam)\n Edoardo Gambaro\, Partner – Greenberg Traurig (Milano)\n Tyler Lavin\, VP\, Development and Investment – North America at citizenM hotels (New York)\n Mike Morroni\, Head of Global Client Directors and North America Head of Business Development – TMF Group (Miami) [Moderator]\n\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES\n\n\nJuan Botín\n\nJuan´s whole career has been linked to the International sphere.

Since then\, there have been counter-complaints and negotiations and appeals. Meanwhile\, a global pandemic has walloped the aerospace industry\, and China is making a serious run at getting into the civilian airliner market.\n\nIn March 2021 the new U.S. Administration reached agreements with the UK and the EU to “pause” tariffs in the dispute for an initial period of four months to give negotiators time to see if a settlement can be reached. Three months into the pause\, what progress has been made (if any)? Is there a settlement to be had\, and if so\, what might it look like? And if not\, what would a return to tariffs mean for the aerospace industry specifically and for transatlantic (and global) trade in general?\n\nOur expert panelists – from both sides of the Atlantic — will review the state of play offer perspectives on the way forward. Our attorneys will review the history of the dispute and summarize the specific complaints as well as update us on the status of the talks\, while our manufacturers will review how the issue has impacted their firms in the past as well as consider how a resolution (or non-resolution) might affect future operational and investment decisions.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Jan de Beer\, Office Member-in-Charge\, Frost Brown Todd LLC\n Philippe Garnier\, CEO and General Manager – SAFRAN Landing Systems\n Andrew Tetley\, Partner – Reed Smith LLP\n\nREGISTER HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-is-the-end-in-sight-17-years-of-the-airbus-boeing-dispute/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210616T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210616T120000 DTSTAMP:20260531T095926 CREATED:20210601T203540Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210601T203540Z UID:34011-1623841200-1623844800@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - The Power Of Transatlantic Cooperation: How EU & US Innovators Joined Forces In The Fight Against The Pandemic DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Brought to you by EACCNY\n\nThe pandemic has highlighted the importance of private sector and public private partnerships in developing vaccines\, therapeutics and other medical products in response to COVID-19 and various European and American companies are jointly contributing to the solution.

Nearly a year later\, with the pandemic still a key component in our lives\, steps taken as a quick call to stabilize operations\, have become routine. COVID-19 has both accelerated the evolution of the remote workforce and forced a change in business model for many companies. While employees may enjoy the flexibility that this allows\, employers must grapple with compliance costs and administrative burdens\, reevaluate transfer pricing policies and update organizational policies to prevent unintended tax and other consequences on a federal\, state and international level.\n\nPlease join us for a discussion on the challenges that come with a remote workforce and the need to reevaluate the steps taken around staff assignments\, planning and other key issues as businesses focus on their new operating models.\n\nOur panelists will discuss:\nThe role of residency in tax law in light of limited or enhanced mobility.\n● What legal issues come into play including Permanent Establishments? How to identify or prevent business related concerns associated with compliance and and transfer pricing issues?\n● Double Taxation Treaties – Treaty Shopping\, Treaty Benefits and new developments on inter-country tax treaties (e.g. Luxembourg\, Belgium\, Germany\, The Netherlands) taxation and Social Security\n● HR Policies and best practices that need to be established to steer\, monitor and enforce the residency policy.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n● David Springsteen\, Global Tax Service Leader\, CLA\n● Jan Bart Schober\, Tax Partner\, Employment & Benefits\, LOYENS & LOEFF\n● Sam Humphris\, Head of International Tax Policy\, AIG\n● Sascha Leske\, Partner\, NOERR [Moderator]\n\nREGISTER HERE\nProgram brought to you by EACCNY \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://eaccfl.com/2event/webinar-the-effects-of-a-wandering-workforce-on-taxation-of-corporations-and-their-employees/ LOCATION:Your Computer or Connected Device CATEGORIES:events,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210526T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210526T110000 DTSTAMP:20260531T095926 CREATED:20210422T163851Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210504T152628Z UID:33892-1622023200-1622026800@eaccfl.com SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Fighting Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Across the Globe – US and EU Reform Legal Frameworks DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The United States Congress kicked off the new year by enacting the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020\, which became law only after both houses of Congress overrode then-President Trump’s veto of the proposed legislation. The Anti-Money Laundering Act is one of the most significant reforms since the USA Patriot Act of 2001 almost 20 years ago. The European Commission published an action plan in May 2020 to strengthen its Anti-Money Laundering legal framework around six key pillars. The Commission just released a new legislative proposal [to be confirmed on 12 May].
