Who, What, When for Non-EU Companies: The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)

Wondering what impact new EU sustainability regulations will have on your company? Earlier this year, the European Union finalized its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), increasing the number of reporting companies from 11,000 to over 50,000. This is expected to include more than 10,000 companies outside the EU, many of them US companies.

Companies need to prepare now, including US companies with a presence in the EU. Reporting requirements are set to phase in over the next several years, and the required disclosures will go beyond the disclosure of financial impact on companies to include activities that have a material impact on people and the environment, ranging from climate targets, transition plans, greenhouse gas emissions, employee and non-employee key performance indicators, and governance information.

To help you get ready, join BSR, Ceres, We Mean Business Coalition, World Business Council for Sustainable Development, C2ES, and The B Team for a discussion of how the new EU regulations require companies to disclose their risks and opportunities related to sustainability factors through the European Sustainability Reporting Standards.

During this webinar, participants will:

• Identify which types of companies are subject to the EU reporting requirements.
• Engage with EU experts leading the CSRD development.
• Discuss next steps for companies to prepare for these disclosures and ISSB standards.
