CSRD: Learnings From Wave 1 Reporters

The first wave of organisations reporting under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has now completed its initial reporting cycle. While much of the early market discussion focused on understanding the regulation itself, organisations are now far more interested in the realities of implementation. 

This webinar will explore the practical lessons emerging from Wave 1 reporters, examining what worked well, where companies faced unexpected challenges and what organisations preparing for future reporting requirements can learn from their experiences.
