Have the new revisions to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards gone too far, or not far enough? 

That’s exactly what we discussed in this episode of the Frankly Speaking podcast, in which Richard Howitt was joined by EFRAG TEG members Sandra Atler, also Director of Human Rights & Business Practice at Enact Sustainable Strategies and Signe Lysgaard, also Chief Advisor on Business & Human Rights at the Danish Institute for Human Rights. 

🎙 Together they unpacked the new simplified EU sustainability reporting standards (ESRS) and what they mean for companies. You’ll also hear more about: 

• The obsession with cutting down data points, and whether this really reduces the reporting burden  

• How the double materiality assessment has changed compared to the old ESRS 

• How closely the new standards align with global IFRS standards   

• The issue of adequate wages, and why it still needs to be resolved  

• How the new ESRS impact the ongoing Omnibus process
