Welcome to a revamped Everything Compliance. Host Adam Turteltaub and panelists Karen Moore, Matt Kelly, Rebecca Walker, and Jonathan Armstrong discuss compliance issues spanning DEI, executive orders, leadership support, and new EU sustainability rules. Karen Moore reviews rapid corporate reversals on DEI and cites a Stanford/UC Berkeley study, “Markets Do Not Punish Firms for Maintaining DEI”. Matt Kelly uses the “Lake Ontario to Lake America” renaming to argue executive orders aren’t laws binding companies and that choosing to comply reflects corporate values and policy-override decisions. Rebecca Walker argues “tone at the top” is insufficient without resources and real trade-offs, citing NAVEX data on gaps between encouraging, modeling, and persisting in ethics under pressure. Jonathan Armstrong outlines a new EU law limiting the destruction of unsold apparel and footwear, along with practical compliance steps.
