nova-Session: Mastering CSRD Compliance – A Practical Guide for the Industrial SectorAs the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) becomes a crucial part of corporate governance in the EU, businesses across industries must adapt to new, rigorous sustainability reporting requirements. To help companies navigate these changes and challenges, nova-Institute is hosting an essential webinar on 26 September from 14:00 to 16:00 CEST. This session is designed to provide industry professionals with practical advice and strategies for aligning with the CSRD’s demands.
The CSRD represents a significant shift in how companies report on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts. One of the most critical aspects of the CSRD is the Double Materiality Assessment, which requires companies to evaluate both their impact on the environment and how environmental changes could influence their business operations. Understanding and implementing this dual focus is vital for companies looking to identify potential risks and opportunities, ensuring both compliance and long-term sustainability.
During the webinar, participants will gain:
- A comprehensive understanding of the CSRD: Explore the directive’s background, objectives, and implementation timeline, offering clarity on who is affected and what is expected in terms of reporting.
- Insights into the Double Materiality Assessment: Learn how to assess both your company’s impact on the environment and the environmental factors that could affect your business. Experts will share examples to illustrate how these assessments can be conducted effectively.
- An introduction to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS): This framework outlines nearly 1,200 data points that companies must address. The webinar will discuss methods for data collection, analysis, and integration into existing management systems.
- Best practices for stakeholder engagement: Successful sustainability reporting hinges on involving key stakeholders, such as employees, shareholders, customers, and local authorities. We’ll explore strategies for engaging these groups to build a robust reporting framework.
- Guidance on data management and external assurance: Learn how to integrate sustainability data into management reports and understand why external verification is essential for ensuring the credibility and accuracy of reported information.
The session will be led by experts from nova-Institute, including Lara Dammer, Head of Economy & Policy, who will provide an introduction to the CSRD and its broader economic implications; Dr. Matthias Stratmann, Head of Sustainability, who will delve into the Double Materiality Assessment and stakeholder involvement strategies; and Ferdinand Kähler, an expert in European Sustainability Reporting Standards, who will guide participants through the ESRS framework and data management techniques.
This nova session is crucial for industry professionals responsible for sustainability reporting, compliance officers, and corporate strategists. By attending, you will gain practical tools for implementing a Double Materiality Assessment, managing data, and engaging stakeholders effectively.
