Under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), large and most listed companies in the EU will be required to start adopting European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRSs) in a matter of months, for financial years starting 1 January 2024. It is only a matter of time before other companies follow suit, with other large and small and medium-sized undertakings, among others, also being subject to these requirements as from financial years starting 1 January 2025 and 2026. As companies prepare for these new requirements, it is important that they understand the detailed disclosures and the related metrics that must be reported on. This CPE session will focus on those topical standards related to the social sphere, being own workforce, workers in the value chain, affected communities and consumers and end-users.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

This session will focus on the disclosure requirements as detailed within:

• ESRS S1 Own workforce

• ESRS S2 Workers in the value chain

• ESRS S3 Affected communities

• ESRS S4 Consumers and end-users

The session will also provide a brief overview of the ESRS cross-cutting standards. These two standards set out the general requirements and disclosures which apply throughout the sustainability reporting under the ESRS framework.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Members of the accountancy profession and sustainability professionals interested in the reporting obligations emanating from the ESRSs and/or who may be involved in the collection, analysis or reporting of such information.

WHY IS THE SESSION OF RELEVANCE TO OUR MEMBERS?

As organisations respond to various sustainability pressures, accountants and non-accountants alike need to keep up to speed with the changing regulatory environment and learn how to gather, understand, and articulate performance on a range of material sustainability matters.
