Preparing organisations for the impact of sustainability regulation is the subject of this Criticaleye breakfast Forum held in association with Accenture. Featuring speeches from Accenture's Peter Lacy, Anglo American's Gareth Llewellyn, CDC's CEO Richard Laing and Barclays's Christine Farnish, topics of discussion focused on leveraging new capabilities through sustainability including:

• Revenue growth from new products and services
• Innovation
• Cost reduction and efficiency improvements
• Better risk management
• Brand and reputation enhancement

• How do we 'do the right thing' than merely do things right?
• Will we see a U-turn on how sustainability issues are audited and reported?
• Is regulation seen as an opportunity for government/regulators to make money?
• How does a company create a sustainable development strategy that works globally?
• Is the definition of sustainability in danger of becoming too general?
