We're excited to continue a video podcast series on the foundations of sustainability reporting. Now watch along with our sustainability specialists as they discuss the latest on sustainability.

Understanding which sustainability reporting frameworks apply to your company is a crucial first step in compliance. In this episode, we break down the complexities of determining which reporting frameworks apply to which entities, from the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) to the International Sustainability Standards Board’s standards. We also explore how companies can navigate reporting requirements across jurisdictions.

In this episode, we discuss:

• 2:20 – Where to begin the reporting process
• 4:29 – Determining if an entity falls under the CSRD requirements
• 28:58 – ISSB adoption and global reporting considerations
• 31:17 – Practical advice for companies navigating reporting developments
