ESG reporting ambition and data challenge

The European regulatory framework around sustainability is more and more demanding.

This training will give participants a general overview of the existing/upcoming European sustainability regulations and standards. It will help their organisation to understand the related impacts and challenges, including data collection process, and to take anticipatory appropriate actions to be compliant with all requirements.

It will guide participants in designing their ESG reporting strategy and identifying the best approach to prepare a sustainability report tailored to their needs (i.e. choice of framework /standards) and the materiality assessment.

At the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• understand the main differences and links between the existing/upcoming regulation standards;
• deep dive into Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and International Sustainability Standards Board and its S1 and S2 standards;

• understand how to approach the materiality assessment (financial and impact);
• understand how to design a roadmap to prepare their non-financial report identifying the main steps to follow.
