About this event:

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) will be effective on 1 January 2024 starting with the first companies in scope. The ESRS guide how companies report information under the CSRD. They introduce many new concepts and first-time requirements which will challenge stakeholders in the corporate reporting ecosystem.

EFRAG is currently developing a list of ESRS datapoints as well as guidance on two key ESRS concepts: materiality assessment and value chain.

Accountancy Europe and EFRAG are jointly organising this webinar to:

  • look into the challenges to ESRS implementation and how to overcome them
