SPEAKERS
Companies play a key role in creating a sustainable and fair economy and society, but they need guidance in the form of a clear regulatory framework and support.
Even though many European businesses are already leaders in sustainable business practices, they still face challenges in understanding and improving their environmental footprint and human rights track record. Complex global value chains as well as the fragmentation of national rules further slowdown the uptake of good practices.
The European Commission has adopted an ambitious and comprehensive package of measures to enhance a just and green transition of business and society across the European Union. Among these measures are the EU Taxonomy Regulation, the proposal for a Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence, the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, and the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.
The new set of measures enhances not only a sustainable transformation, but at the same time businesses competitiveness, efficiency, financial performance, preparedness and long-term resilience. However, businesses still expect coherence of the measures to avoid unnecessary burdens and need to adapt processes to cope with the expectations to find their way towards sustainable business models.
During the session panelists will discuss key questions about the green transition of European business in the context of the new EU regulatory framework:
What are the different initiatives on the EU level which target the transition to a new sustainable business model?
How are businesses preparing for the upcoming regulations?
What are the benefits and costs for EU businesses of the new regulations?
How will SMEs be affected by the new legislation?
What role can European sector and multi-stakeholder initiatives play in supporting businesses’ transition to the new regulatory framework?
