The sustainable transformation is progressing - at the same time, sustainability regulation at EU and national level is becoming increasingly complex.
On the one hand, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), a new directive on sustainability reporting, has been in force since the beginning of 2023. This has a concrete impact on all companies, as all other companies may already be indirectly affected in addition to those that are directly subject to reporting requirements. The EU taxonomy also creates the conditions for channelling capital flows into environmentally sustainable activities. The taxonomy is therefore having an increasingly profound impact on corporate financing.
Companies are increasingly confronted with the associated requirements and at the same time are trying to utilise the opportunities inherent in the transformation.
With the event ‘Sustainability reporting - burden or opportunity? CSRD, taxonomy and practical examples’, the Bergische IHK would like to give you an overview of the current legal framework, concretise the effects of sustainability reporting and share initial practical experiences with you.
Are you interested? Then come to the Planar Hall of the Bergische IHK, Heinrich-Kamp-Platz 2, 42103 Wuppertal, on 12 September 2024 from 5 to 7 pm.
The following topics will be discussed in an exchange between practitioners and experts
- Objectives and timetable for sustainability reporting in accordance with the CSRD
- Requirements of banks in the context of the EU taxonomy and effects on lending
- Practical handling of the requirements of the new legislation
- Medium to long-term consequences of regulation in the course of the Green Deal
- Field report from the building cleaning company Schulten from Remscheid
