Ethics & Environmental Justice: What it Means for Your Business and its Future

Maribel Nicholson-Choice an environmental shareholder in the Tallahassee office of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, will present the CLE webinar, “Ethics & Environmental Justice: What it Means for Your Business and its Future,” December 21, for Lawline. The course will review the Environmental Justice Initiative, the nuances of recognizing environmental justice issues, and the potential impact for American businesses as communities and organizations head to federal court to successfully require that an “environmental justice analysis” be performed as part of the National Environmental Policy Act environmental assessment. Conflicts of interest for government officials and ethical obligations to enforce environmental protections irrespective of the race, national origin, ethnicity or income level of the affected community will also be discussed. The session will close with a discussion of how businesses can proactively manage environmental justice and ethical issues to avoid litigation.
