Trailblazing Sustainability Reporting for Business Impact

4th of October, 12:30 -14:00 CET Webinar & Peer Exchange

As the regulatory landscape rapidly evolves, corporate boards must stay ahead by understanding the critical intersections of reporting requirements, double materiality, and business risk.

In this session, we will explore the latest in sustainability reporting regulations and the emerging concept of double materiality—how both financial and non-financial impacts drive decision-making and risk assessments. With a focus on how these elements can be seamlessly integrated into your board’s governance and strategy, our expert panel will share practical examples and success stories from companies leading the way.
