What we do

This Task Force is comprised of two parts: the Innovation Subgroup, led by Athanasia Arapogianni Konisti (BRG) and the Policy Subgroup, led by Stephanie Collins (Gibson Dunn).  The Subgroups will work closely together over the next two years.

The primary goal of this Task Force is to create a tool to evaluate the carbon footprint of International Arbitration for the wider arbitration community to use – developed by the experts on the Innovation team, and informed by the experiences of the Policy team. 

In addition, the Task Force will observe and report on legal, regulatory and policy developments related to sustainability and the environment which impact or inter-sect with the arbitration process – keeping the CGA Steering Committee and Regional Committees, as well CGA members, informed.
