Sustainability assurance under the CSRD: practical implications

About this event:

Join our online interactive workshop to debate the practical implications of the European Commission’s EU-wide requirement for sustainability assurance within the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

While EU policymakers are finalising the CSRD trilogue negotiations, we are launching our discussion paper Sustainability assurance under the CSRD, which provides insights from practice on key matters related to this new assurance requirement.

Together with EU and international stakeholders representing policy makers, standard-setters, business, investors and the accountancy profession, we will discuss how to prepare for this upcoming new requirement and eventually achieve high quality and consistent assurance across the EU.
