This course responds to the proposed changes and reflects the situation of companies that need to orient themselves and decide how to approach ESG reporting regarding the expected amendments of:
Although the future form of the regulation will develop in the next few months and the outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, it is appropriate to consider now what options are available to companies. The course will present facts and assumptions that will facilitate decision-making and planning of preparation, and at the same time explain the basics of working with the reporting standards.
We have adapted the course content to the needs of the so-called second wave of companies, for which the reporting obligation under the CSRD directive was supposed to apply for the first time for 2025. While for some, the obligation will be delayed, others may prepare ESG reporting voluntarily based on simplified standards if they are no longer legally required report.
To help you navigate the changing landscape, we will summarize the current status and expected changes for you, and you will learn the basics of reporting according to ESRS standards for large as well as for small and medium enterprises.
Both sets of standards may still undergo changes. However, for timely decision-making, it is crucial to understand what they entail, how to understand their requirements and how they can meet your information needs, as well as those of your business and financial partners. There is no need to postpone this training for later – on the contrary, it will give you insights that will make it easier for you to appropriately direct your next steps.

The course is intended for individuals who will coordinate or contribute to the preparation of mandatory or voluntary ESG reporting to meet the requirements of ESG regulations – CSRD, ESRS, VSME, and in the future also CS3D. The course is also recommended for employees from procurement / purchasing and sales departments, as it can help them effectively manage relationships with suppliers and customers towards achieving the company's sustainability goals.
ESG coordinators are recommended to take part in this course after participating in the course ESG reporting – preparation in times of change.
The course has been designed with the ongoing revision of EU regulatory frameworks in mind. While the final form of the regulation will take shape over the coming months and remains uncertain, several core elements of ESG reporting continue to serve as an effective means of analyzing and managing ESG-related risks. They also help meet the information needs of your organization and those of your business and financial partners, including the capital markets, regardless of how the regulatory landscape ultimately develops. In the context of ESG reporting, the course will focus on two key areas related to the disclosure of sustainability governance.
Firstly, we are going to explore the only topical standard from the governance pillar, standard G1 Business conduct (and its simplified version under the VSME standard for small and medium-sized enterprises). You will obtain an overview of the structure of the standard, the topics it covers, and its interaction with other ESRS standards. Main requirements of the standards will be, where possible, illustrated practically.
The second part of the course will be concentrated on disclosure of information in the value chain. Value chain is a relatively new, complex and cross-cutting topic in the context of corporate reporting and ESRS. Although approached from different perspectives, the value chain – particularly in the context of supply and customer relationships – is also addressed in EFRAG’s non-binding implementation guidance and in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).
While the ESRS standards focus primarily on reporting, the new directive will require companies to take action – avoiding and mitigating negative impacts. In practice, this will mean changes not only in management practices at the executive level and an expansion of the due diligence duties, but also changes in the management of relationships with upstream and downstream value chain partners. The course will introduce main provisions of the CSDDD directive, principles featured in the implementation guidance for the value chain and their link to mandatory provisions of individual ESRS standards.
In connection with the Omnibus amendment package, you will be introduced to the proposed changes to the timeline and scope of obligations related to due diligence in the supply chain.

We recommend the training to those, who are new to ESG and need to familiarize themselves with this area. They can then continue to build on their knowledge with other training sessions we offer, according to their focus and needs.
ESG agenda is developing dynamically and expectations for companies' activities and products are growing. ESG reporting is a means of informing the stakeholders (e.g. business partners – customers and suppliers, investors, employees, regulators, public) about responsible approach to environment, society and governance.
EU CSRD Directive, ESRS Standards and EU Taxonomy pose obligations on large companies to disclose information about sustainability (ESG). There are multiple other evolving regulations and trends to be aware of in the ESG landscape.
The training programme is composed of four practical modules and it is suitable for those who need to understand or cooperate on ESG strategy and reporting in any role (legal & compliance, finance, HR, investor relations, procurement, logistics, environment, sales, marketing etc.). It will be appreciated by beginners as well as experienced ESG coordinators.
Time: 4 x 3 hours
Tutor: Jana Sequensová, Radka Nedvědová
The course is suitable for those, who will be coordinating or collaborating on the preparation of mandatory ESG reporting to meet the requirements of ESG regulations – CSRD and ESRS. A separate course is dedicated to the EU taxonomy.
At the end of July 2023, the European Commission adopted the final version of the 1st set of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) that further specify the requirements set by the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD, approved in January 2023). The reporting obligations apply to large undertakings and groups who need to include ESG information to their annual management reports.
During this course, you will orient yourself in the complex structure of the ESRS, learn what to look for and where, and gain confidence in navigating and working with the standards. You will familiarise yourself with the reporting principles that need to be followed to ensure quality and stand up to mandatory assurance.
You will learn about the structure, topics and disclosure requirements for the three pillars – E, S and G. You will be able to distinguish the mandatory and voluntary disclosures, as well as those that may be delayed.

The Taxonomy is a relatively new EU regulation aimed at directing private finance towards sustainable activities. It brings a common classification and definition system of economic activities that are considered sustainable from the point of view of the EU with regard to the set objectives of the EU. Last but not least, it also brings disclosure obligations for companies and groups operating in the EU.
The implementation of taxonomic reporting is a complex discipline that requires a perfect knowledge of regulations and related European legislation.

The double materiality assessment is one of the first and most critical steps in preparing for sustainability (ESG) reporting in accordance with the CSRD directive and the Act on Accounting. It determines which topics the company will include in the mandatory sustainability report. The requirements for this assessment are outlined in the ESRS 1 standard. The process and results of the assessment are among the information that must be disclosed in the sustainability report. A well-conducted and robust analysis provides the foundation for further preparatory steps, while underestimating it can lead to complications in later stages of the reporting process.
The course is suitable for those, who will coordinate or collaborate on the preparation of mandatory ESG reporting to meet the requirements of ESG regulations – CSRD and ESRS. It will also meet the needs of auditors, who will provide assurance on the sustainability reports of their clients. The course can be taken independently or in combination with other courses on the ESRS standards.
The course will not only introduce you to the ESRS standards' requirements for conducting and reporting on the double materiality analysis, but also provide practical examples of how to approach each phase of the assessment. The methodology details are at each company’s discretion (e.g., the way of scoring the impacts, risks, and opportunities), so it is important to understand different approaches and their implications. The training will also include practical exercises, allowing you to try out the assessment process.

ESG coordinators who are interested in obtaining deeper understanding of standards in the environmental pillar are recommended to take part in this course after participating in the course Mandatory ESG reporting – EU CSRD & ESRS Standards. Those who participate in measurement and collection of reported environmental information may take this course as a stand-alone option.
We recommend combining this course with the training on Carbon footprint measurement and disclosure and ESRS Standards - governance pillar, sustainable due diligence and value chain.
We are going to have a deeper look into environmental standards: E1 – Climate change (from the disclosure point of view; problematics of the carbon footprint calculation itself is covered by a single special course), E2 – Pollution, E3 – Water and marine resources, E4 – Biodiversity and ecosystems and E5 – Resource use and circular economy.
You will obtain an overview of the common structure of “E” standards, we will introduce key concepts and definitions and discuss the interaction of cross-cutting standards with “E” standards. You will learn about individual disclosure requirements and whether they result from double materiality assessment or whether they are subject to mandatory disclosure regardless of the result of such an assessment. Main provisions of the standards will be, where possible, illustrated practically.

We tailored this course to the needs of participants who already have experience with ESG reporting and do not need to start from the basics.
You will appreciate this training if you already report on sustainability on a voluntary or mandatory basis, based on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards) or another methodology. Although this is a very good ground for fulfilling the future obligations imposed on large EU companies and groups by the CSRD directive, there are some significant differences that will require a robust preparation.
We will take you through the major differences between voluntary (e.g. GRI-based) and mandatory CSRD reporting and explain their practical implications for the report content, process and sustainability governance.
