Unlocking value from EU sustainability reporting: What you need to know

The EU’s sustainability reporting landscape is shifting fast. Recent announcements promise simplification, including the draft simplified European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) announced on 4 December.

But what do they really mean for your organisation’s reporting efforts?

The answer depends on your material topics, reporting maturity, and strategic priorities. While compliance is essential, the real opportunity lies in connecting sustainability reporting with long-term business goals. Sustainability data is now increasingly central to business decisions, supply chain resilience and stakeholder trust. With investors, insurers, customers and shareholders demanding better data, delays can affect competitiveness.

This webinar will help you cut through the complexity and act decisively.

What will be covered:

In this webinar we will help you understand the technical advice behind the new simplified draft ESRS related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, touch upon the voluntary reporting standards, and discuss their implications for businesses across Europe.
