About the lecture

"Navigating the Landscape of Sustainability Reporting: Insights into the European Directive on CSRD and Combating Greenwashing"

In this lecture, we will explore the evolving field of sustainability reporting and the crucial role financial controllers’ play. We will cover the definition and importance of sustainability reporting, how it intersects with financial performance and the need for transparency and accountability in corporate sustainability.

We will also examine the European Directive on Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), discussing its objectives, key requirements, compliance timelines, and impacts on company reporting practices. Additionally, we will address greenwashing, understanding its effects on stakeholders, identifying deceptive sustainability practices, and reviewing regulations to prevent it.

For financial controllers, we will look at practical steps to integrate sustainability into financial reporting, ensure data accuracy, collaborate across departments, and prepare for audits to meet CSRD standards.

Throughout the session, discussions and exercises will enhance your understanding, equipping you with the knowledge to effectively support your organization's sustainability goals and compliance efforts.
