Past webinar: Navigating the proposed CSRD changes: Strategic approach for companies

Context

The Omnibus package represents the most substantial revision of ESG regulations since their implementation, aiming to balance Europe's sustainability leadership with business competitiveness. While the proposal significantly reduces the scope of mandatory reporting – potentially excluding about 80% of previously included companies – the EU's fundamental commitment to becoming the first carbon-neutral and socially responsible continent remains unchanged.

What we discussed

Our expert panel provided overview of these proposed changes and offered strategic guidance on maintaining effective sustainability practices regardless of shifting reporting obligations. We discussed why continuing ESG initiatives remains valuable despite potential reporting delays, addressing both risk management and strategic opportunities.

The webinar highlighted which elements remain crucial for forward-thinking companies:

• Double materiality assessment
• Carbon footprint calculation methodology
• Climate risk mitigation measures
• Voluntary reporting frameworks (e.g. GRI)

Agenda

1. Comprehensive overview of the Omnibus package's proposed changes to sustainability reporting requirements
2. Timeline considerations and strategic preparation for evolving legislation
3. Practical recommendations for balancing flexibility with preparedness – addressing reputation management, employee expectations, client requirements, and access to sustainable financing
