There is an ongoing debate about the extent to which the purchase of carbon offsets in relation to the trustee’s carbon emissions is in the best financial interests of members. The debate ignores a threshold question: does the best financial interests covenant apply to such expenses at all?
Join MinterEllison’s Philip Marquet (Senior Associate) for a practical and insightful workshop that will provide clarity on whether the purchase of carbon offsets in relation to a trustee’s own carbon emissions needs to be tested against the best financial interests covenant.
Key topics to be discussed include:
• ESG and carbon offsets;
• trustee expenditure;
• the best financial interests covenant; and
• trustee remuneration clauses.
Who should attend?
• Trustees and directors
• CEOs, and senior management staff
• Governance and Company Secretariat staff
• Compliance and risk professionals
• Those who support the board/trustee function
