Virtual Classroom, 30 September, 2 and 8 October 2024
from 9:30 to 12:30 CEST
Overview
European
Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are required by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Adopted by the EU Commission in April 2021, the CSRD will enter into force in 2024 and requires companies falling within its scope to report using a double materiality perspective, in accordance with the ESRS adopted by the European Commission as delegated acts in June 2023.
Course description and Take-Aways
Within this context, this hands-on learning programme, not only can provide an in-depth analysis of the current ESG regulatory frameworks, but it particularly encourages delegates to think about materiality analysis and assessment in their companies. Practical insights on cross-cutting and topical disclosure requirements as well as 'early adopter' examples and the role of an integrated strategy and narrative in ESG reporting will add further value to the course.
Group works, knowledge and experience sharing among course participants will represent added-value elements to the programme.
In addition to the in-depth updates on Regulation and Disclosure practice, Industry best practices and trends, there are several key outcomes that can be expected from this course:
- Learn how to develop focused ESG disclosure practices against industry standards
- Understand the industry changes and learn what the likely changes will mean for you

- Understand how to conduct a double-materiality assessment and stakeholder engagement plan.
