ESG reporting obligations in EU (CSRD & ESRS focus)
European Parliament approved the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) in November 2022. The Member states now have 18 months to transpose it to the national legislation.
Large undertakings will be obliged to disclose information required by ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards). The first set of standards is due to be finalised in June 2023, after a consultation process.
The training ESG reporting obligations in EU (CSRD & ESRS focus) takes place on 12–13 September 2023, following the publication of the final standards. You will learn about the structure, topics and requirements for ESG disclosures according to the EU rules.
