Presentation
Corporate sustainability is no longer limited to communicating best practice: it requires an understanding of an increasingly structured regulatory framework, the measurement of impacts, risks and opportunities, and access to reliable and verifiable ESG information.
This course offers a practical and structured overview of the main European instruments – CSRD and ESRS, double materiality, the Taxonomy, CSDDD and VSME – and how they relate to governance, reporting and business strategy. Participants will learn which aspects to monitor, what information they need and how to integrate sustainability into the organisation’s management.
