Listen Later

This week on Frankly Speaking, we welcome David Vermijs and discuss the final draft of the first set of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The draft Delegated Act from the European Commission is currently subject to a feedback period until the 7th of July. David is the Director of Business Engagement at one of the leading organizations on business and human rights in the world, Shift. He is also a member of EFRAG's Sustainability Reporting Board, the body which undertakes the technical work to recommend the new sustainability reporting standards.

You will hear more about: 

  • the draft proposed by the European Commission and how it differs from EFRAG's recommendations
  • how the first set of ESRS needs to look like to be effective
  • the opinion coming from the business and investement community
  • the role of the EU in the development of robust sustainability reporting standards worldwide
