With the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the requirements of the EU Taxonomy, companies face new challenges in sustainability reporting. In our webinar, we provide an overview of the objectives and content of the EU Taxonomy Regulation and show you a practical approach to efficiently fulfill the EU Taxonomy requirements within your CSRD reporting. The following questions will be addressed in the webinar:
- What disclosure obligations arise in connection with the EU Taxonomy Regulation for the CSRD sustainability report?
- How can companies determine which of their business activities are relevant in the context of the EU Taxonomy?
- What steps does the process for determining the required KPIs involve?
From 2024/25, the CSRD tightens requirements for materiality and disclosure – including resource use and circular economy. Use the obligation as an opportunity: A lean status quo analysis reveals levers for circular goals, measures, and KPIs – and opens up savings and market potential.
In the webinar, we show you how to:
-
practically fulfill the CSRD requirements for the circular economy,
-
identify the potential of the circular economy in your business model,
-
derive a viable CE strategy from the status quo analysis,
-
evaluate progress and impact with suitable key figures.
The new disclosure obligations of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are casting their shadow, and the first companies will have to report according to the new reporting standards starting from the 2024 financial year. In our webinar, we first provide an overview of the quality requirements that the CSRD places on the process and execution of the materiality analysis. We then show you how the materiality analysis can be practically implemented in the company and what pitfalls you should pay attention to. The following questions will be addressed in the webinar:
- What is the significance of materiality analysis in the context of CSRD?
- What is behind the basic principle of double materiality?
- What further requirements does the legislator place on the process?
- How does materiality analysis work in practice?
- When should companies start preparing?
In June 2023, the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) came into force at the European level. The regulation defines ambitious requirements and due diligence obligations for companies that trade and place risk commodities and products made from them on the EU market. In the webinar, we show you what requirements arise for your company from the regulation and how you can prepare for them. Specifically, we address the following questions:
- What requirements does the EUDR place on companies?
- What do these requirements mean for corporate structures, due diligence obligations, and reporting?
- What steps are necessary to prepare for the EUDR requirements?
- How can standard systems be used to prepare for the EUDR?
- How do you develop a roadmap to fulfill EUDR obligations?
The severe impacts of climate change present companies with ever-new challenges. Against this backdrop, it is essential for companies to identify climate-related risks and opportunities and analyze their potential effects on their own business activities. In the webinar “Climate Risk Analysis – Regulatory Requirements and Strategic Added Value,” we show you why companies must address climate risks and opportunities, how to identify them for your company, and what role the analysis plays in the strategic alignment of your business model. Specifically, we address the following questions:
- What requirements do CSRD and EU Taxonomy place on climate risk analysis, and what approach does the TCFD recommend?
- What climate risks and opportunities need to be considered?
- What are climate scenarios, and what added value do they offer within a climate risk analysis?
- How can company-specific climate risks and opportunities be identified?
- What is the significance of climate risk analysis for strategy development?
In the webinar, we answer…
