CSRD WEBINAR SERIES 2025:
Join our webinars and understand your reporting requirements

Nov. 28 2024

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive is here and it is a game changer for sustainability reporting. 

This new EU regulation changes the way in which eligible organisations need to monitor, measure and report sustainable performance. And we are here to support you in understanding the changes and achieving compliance. 

The CSRD details the relevant requirements and obligations for companies, supported by a series of 12 European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) that set the framework and methodology for how they should report. And evidence shows companies are still in need of guidance when it comes to CSRD reporting. Findings in our white paper show that only a third of companies surveyed are already reporting sustainability (Environmental, Social and Governance or ESG) performance and two-thirds said that data collection was their primary barrier to sustainability reporting.

Supporting you on your journey 

To support our clients in strengthening their sustainability blueprint, we’re launching a series of six webinars, each focusing on a different ESRS, with expert input from across the Bureau Veritas global network. Our hosts and subject matter experts will be discussing key issues, delving into their experience and exploring what clients are saying about each of the topics, to support the practical application of CSRD.
