Podcast overview
Late 2025 brought long-awaited clarity to the EU regulatory landscape, empowering companies to move forward with confidence.
In this episode of The Sustainability Report, we break down the two updates: the EU agreement on amendments to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the newly proposed simplified European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
Tune in as we explore the strategic implications of these changes, including why it's crucial to re-evaluate your CSRD scoping assessment and how to approach the ESRS simplifications. We also discuss CSRD compliance in the broader context of overall sustainability reporting and strategy journeys.
