The University of Auckland and Deakin Law School presents a Forum that will explore the myriad challenges and issues faced by corporations and their many communities
of influence in an emerging landscape calling for business models that are sustainable and in the longterm
interests of corporations.

It encourages presenters and attendees to discuss the pressing legal and practical issues faced by corporations today as they transition to an environment that demands more inclusive and longer term strategies and business decision making. These developments require a very careful modern reformulation of what is legally meant by “the interests of the company”. The pressing issues associated with the Forum theme include, but are not limited to:

• Corporate governance reforms;
• The role of company boards;
• Responsive dialogue with stakeholders and the broader community;
• Risk management;
• Effective company reporting;
• Business and human rights; and
• Corporate action on climate change.
