The Law and Ethics of ESG in the Energy Transition
When: Wednesday, April 30, 2025, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Where: Lecture Theatre (Room 2.1 for Drinks Reception), CCLS, 67-69 Lincoln’s Inn Fields London WC2A 3JB
Join us for an in-depth session exploring the law and ethics of environmental, social and governance (ESG) in the energy transition. This event is jointly hosted by the Centre of Commercial Law Studies and International Chapter Alumni Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan (UCSC).
The event includes the following programme:
Dr Tibisay Morgandi will discuss how emerging due diligence regulatory frameworks, such as the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation, the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) may come into conflict with trade rules. Dr Morgandi will cover due diligence requirements related to human rights, environmental sustainability and climate change, corporate responsibility, and supply chain transparency and their interaction with global trade rules.
Dr Daniele D’Alvia will provide a comparative and strategic perspective on how financial regulators in the UK and EU are embedding ESG into prudential frameworks. His presentation will examine evolving regulatory expectations for banks, insurers, and financial institutions, focusing on the alignment of capital and risk with climate targets. With the UK Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA)’s leading on climate-related financial risk supervision and the EU integrating ESG into the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR)/Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) regime, this discussion will explore the intersection of regulation, ethics, and financial resilience in a low-carbon economy.
The panel will be moderated by Tommaso Migliore, CEO and Founder of MDOTM Ltd, a global provider of AI-driven investment solutions for institutional investors, and Board Member of the Ludovico Necchi Alumni Association of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
This event is a unique opportunity to connect, be inspired, and celebrate CCLS QMUL alumni, students and academics and to network with alumni from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
