Constellation Energy (NYSE:CEG) today announced that China’s
Huaiyin Normal University (HNU) hosted Robert McKay, associate
general counsel, corporate at Constellation Energy, from Sept. 20
through Sept. 24 as a visiting scholar and guest lecturer. McKay’s
visit included discussions and lectures on legal issues and trends
in the development of corporate governance structures and processes
and anti-corruption efforts in the United States since the year
2000.
HNU has a rich history of producing government and civic leaders
and its flagship academic journal, which frequently includes
articles focusing on business management tools, has been ranked
among the top academic publications in China. The lectures come at
a pivotal time in China as the national and local governments begin
to regulate the private sector using methods similar to those used
in the United States.
“With China’s admission into the World Trade Organization, there
are a number of new and interesting economic legal issues that our
country is facing,” said Professor Ji Xiuping, Ph.D., Dean of the
Law School, Huaiyin Normal University. “McKay’s lectures have
addressed the role of mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. as a
result of the credit crisis. We appreciate Professor McKay
generously sharing his knowledge and practical experience with the
students and faculty of HNU.”
McKay provided two lectures to approximately 400 students, as
well as the law faculty at HNU, each of which were followed by an
extensive question and answer period.
“That such an invitation was extended to one of our attorneys is
further acknowledgment of our status as an innovative leader in
many fields, including corporate governance and creating new
strategies and solutions to address complex challenges,” said
Charles A. Berardesco, senior vice president, general counsel,
corporate secretary and chief compliance officer of Constellation
Energy. “We are delighted to have had this opportunity to share our
best practices with a distinguished audience of some of China’s
brightest thinkers and leaders.”
McKay has been actively involved with U.S. and Chinese relations
for several years. Most recently, McKay has worked closely with the
Institute for Global Chinese Affairs, an organization based at the
University of Maryland, College Park.
“The relationship between regulation and corporate governance is
a rapidly developing area in China. This is an exciting chance to
showcase and discuss recent developments in U.S. law and
Constellation Energy’s response to those changes—a response which
we believe is designed to support steady growth and preserve
corporate integrity,” said McKay.
McKay’s visit took him to Jiangsu Province, located on China’s
east coast.
