The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has introduced new requirements for European organisations.
Under the CSRD, companies are now required to report on their environmental, social and governance performance. As these requirements evolve, boards have a responsibility to understand and implement key frameworks and standards.
The Certificate in Sustainability Reporting Landscape and CSRD provides an introduction to this changing landscape.
Explore global sustainability frameworks and standards, the evolution of CSRD from the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and the importance of sustainability reporting within the EU Sustainable Finance Framework.
