24th June 2004 - OFR Breakfast Briefing - Important Implications for Director's Liability

From 1st January 2005, around 1,300 quoted UK companies will have to produce an Operating and Financial Review for shareholders and other stakeholders. This report will need to take account of the company’s current and future non-financial performance, including their impact on the community and the environment.

Directors will be responsible for deciding whether there are significant environmental impacts that should be included in the OFR and must demonstrate a clear and transparent decision-making process. Additionally, auditors will have to express an opinion on the process followed to produce an OFR.
 
Join experts to find out what practical steps you can take to comply with the upcoming OFR regulation. Both Casella and Trucost have considerable experience in helping companies and fund managers to analyse environmental matters in business terms.
 
This free directors seminar will cover:

- Practical guidance for directors – Rosemary Radcliffe CBE (Chairman, OFR Independent Working Group)

- Helping directors and auditors decide which environmental matters should be included in the OFR – Simon Thomas (Chairman, Trucost Plc)

- How the OFR can help investors make better-informed decisions – Nick Robins (Head of SRI Research, Henderson Global Investors)
