With COP 28 around the corner, and following the publication of the first set of standards from the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the final European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) that underpin the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), it’s clear that the focus on ESG considerations has intensified. 

Driven by a global push for accountability, transparency and compatibility, emerging international regulations, such as ISSB compliance and the CSRD, have substantially increased the reporting expectations of companies. With new demands for annual sustainability disclosures and even new ways of collecting information from supply chains, businesses must adapt to evolving market and regulatory demand to maintain relevance, compliance and sustainability. With more trends and deliverables still to come, for example integrated annual reporting, navigating this landscape effectively and efficiently is vital for compliance, demonstrating societal impact and building and long-term market resilience. 

This webinar hosted by the Financial Times, in partnership with Workiva will discuss the evolution of both stakeholder demands and the regulatory landscape, and how companies on their sustainability journey can effectively bridge the gap between their current ESG reporting status and the evolving landscape. Panellists will explore the magnitude of the reporting burden imposed by regulations like the CSRD and ISSB, as well as global impact movements including the CFO Coalition for Sustainable Development Goals and the UN’s Forward Faster initiative; how they are rapidly grappling with the complexities of the task at hand; how to deliver and communicate the value of ESG; and strategies to expedite compliance while maintaining precision. They will also look at how companies are reorganising internally to meet compliance requirements and how innovation with technology can be utilised to manage ESG data and find new efficiencies.
