There has been a significant movement in the sustainability reporting landscape over the past few years over the world with various mergers and formations between reporting frameworks. Similarly, Europe has seen an influx of sustainability-related regulations that will shape how businesses manage, monitor, and report their impact on society and planet. The adoption of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) includes the development of Europe’s first attempt to develop a set of standards that goes beyond the environmental aspect. The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) – developed by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) – are fairly ambitious and broader than other international reporting frameworks from different regions of the world.
The first horizontal set of ESRS is expected to be formally adopted as Delegated Act by the European Commission by the end of this summer. Large European and non-European businesses operating in any EU Member State and falling under the scope of the CSRD will have to report according to the ESRS starting in 2024 which brings a new set of challenges. Being a couple of months away, those businesses have little time to prepare for their reporting duties. Therefore, the knowledge gathered by their reporting and alignment with other international reporting frameworks and standards might prove crucial to getting a head start, as businesses need to understand how their past and current reporting practices can be translated to meet the ESRS requirements. However, how similar or compatible are the ESRS with its counterparts? Can businesses build on and align with all reporting frameworks?
This Atelier will strive to tackle the element of interoperability between ESRS and different international reporting frameworks such as GRI, IFRS/ISSB, CDP, and TCFD.
Join this atelier to:
Learn more about the interoperability between ESRS and different international reporting frameworks such as GRI, IFRS/ISSB, CDP, and TCFD.
Discover how each reporting framework is aligned with the ESRS and how businesses try to navigate the different reporting requirements with the objective of reducing overlaps.
Interact with the speakers on how to start preparing your organisation’s internal reporting structures to ensure timely alignment with the ESRS and meet the requirements of other reporting frameworks.
