COP29 Baku Special Environment, tax and incentives - What directors need to know
Join us for a crucial discussion on the latest trends in sustainability and tax.
The fast-moving sustainability management and reporting landscape means that directors - ALL directors on the board - need to be aware of the trends and increasing demands for good environmental management as well as tax and sustainability, both tax transparency and fair tax contribution - but also what tax incentives for action are available.
Join us in this Baku COP special, with insights from experts in these areas, and a special report from our Baku special correspondent!
