🌍 CSRD: Driving Meaningful Sustainability Reporting The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a crucial step forward in elevating sustainability to the same level as financial reporting. While all aspects of materiality assessments are important, I’d like to highlight Mistake #6: A siloed approach without engaging the entire enterprise. Collaboration across functions is essential to capture the full scope of risks, opportunities, and impacts—ensuring comprehensive, accurate reporting. Great insights from Alisa Hayden in her article! Let’s put ESG at the forefront to unlock its full potential! 🌱 PwC Ireland 🌱#Sustainability #CSRD #ESG #Collaboration #DoubleMateriality #CorporateResponsibility

How can we harness the transformative power of technology to empower Europe's enterprises and organizations? This question is central to the new TECH platform, an initiative by Handelsblatt Media Group and Schwarz Digits, with #BCG alongside Dassault Systèmes, SAP and Christ&Company as one of the proud founding partners.

The Sustainability osapiens Summit 2024 – #ESG takes root and thrives! I had the pleasure of attending the SoS 2024 in Mannheim, and the insights I gained on the #EUDR, #ESPR, and #CSRD were incredibly valuable. As a member of the KPMG Deutschland team, it was inspiring to see how these regulations are shaping the future of corporate responsibility, sustainability, and driving sustainable supply chains. The event highlighted the critical importance of transparent sustainability practices and how regulations like the EUDR and CSRD are helping companies navigate new challenges, while also presenting opportunities for growth and innovation. In particular, I was struck by how sustainability is reshaping supply chain strategies—demanding transparency, resilience, and accountability from start to finish. On top of gaining a new perspectives of these regulations and how osapiens is supporting with innovative solutions, I thoroughly enjoyed the engaging discussions with fellow attendees. The exchange of knowledge and practical approaches was truly enriching! 💡 The summit reaffirmed how these regulatory frameworks are helping companies: Mitigate risks: Staying compliant with evolving regulations to avoid penalties. Build trust: Transparency in sustainability practices boosts trust with stakeholders. Drive sustainable supply chains: Creating more resilient and transparent supply networks, aligned with ESG goals. Unlock innovation: Sustainable practices drive differentiation and long-term success. Looking forward to applying these insights to further KPMG's impact and helping businesses achieve their #sustainability and supply chain transformation goals! #CorporateSustainability #SustainabilityLeadership #Innovation #SupplyChainSustainability #KPMG #osapiens
