About this Event
In today’s business environment, organisations face new challenges due to the increasing demands from regulators and other stakeholders for transparent, comprehensive and accurate information on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters, subject to mandatory limited assurance. The introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (“ESRS”) created the need of a thorough understanding of sustainability reporting. This training programme aims to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively communicate their sustainability performance and impact, in accordance with the EU requirements.
Who should attend:
The seminar is designed for professionals from various fields in the financial and non-financial sector. Professionals involved in sustainability reporting and stakeholder engagement as well as ESG data owners will particularly benefit from a deeper understanding of the new sustainability reporting requirements. These include, but are not limited to, sustainability managers, environmental managers, human resources, compliance and marketing officers, financial and risk analysts, business strategists and individuals responsible for the preparation, management, or use of the sustainability statements within their organisations.
