The E.U. Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires ESG reporting on a level never seen before and will capture a whole host of companies that previously were not subject to mandatory nonfinancial reporting requirements, including public and private non-EU companies that meet certain EU-presence thresholds. For US companies, the CSRD rules will result in mandatory reporting on a broader set of ESG topics than those required under current and proposed Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. In this podcast we will discuss:

• Objectives of CSRD
• Advantages for early CSRD compliance
• If the proposed SEC climate disclosure rule is expected to be eligible for equivalence
• Reporting options for U.S. companies with E.U.-based subsidiaries
• Steps to start preparing for CSRD compliance

Speakers:

• Moderator: Rowena Curtis, UK Marketing Manager, Intertek Business Assurance
• Presenter: Elma Christian, Global Business Development Director, Intertek Business Assurance
