How can companies leverage the new reporting standards to create business value? 

The past few years have seen increased integration of ESG-related information into mainstream financial reporting. The mandatory European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the upcoming UK Sustainability Disclosure Standards will accelerate this trend as they require organisations to report their risks and opportunities relating to their climate and social impacts alongside their financial disclosures. New research shows that businesses must rethink their current systems and take a bolder approach to their sustainability reporting to drive transformation and unlock long-term value. 

In this session, we will explore how integrated reporting is an opportunity for businesses to bring climate ambition into action, reduce the risks of greenwashing, get access to investment, and ultimately drive long-term value.  Leading companies, investors, and policy experts will discuss how sustainability disclosures are key to driving the just transition and creating business value.
