Thursday, September 16, 2010: IS IT HARD BEING GREEN? HOUSTON Increased Congressional and regulatory focus on environmental impact of doing business, particularly in the energy sector, begs the question what is the board's responsibility in this area. The recent Horizon Oil Spill has made the topic even more relevant. Companies have to make a strategic choice how to position themselves. Directors face multiple questions in this environment: What responsibility do directors have? Do you engage in the boardroom on the environmental position of the company? How do you assess the risks? What do directors, serving on multiple boards, do if their companies have conflicts in environmental issues (e.g. Oil & Gas versus Coal or renewables) Is it time to put environmental expertise in the boardroom?
