At the end of last month, the inaugural European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), introduced by the European Commission, marked the beginning of a new phase of environmental accountability in corporate relations and fiscal strategizing. This development holds great importance for enterprises within and beyond the EU, as they are obligated to disclose their impact on climate change, pollution, water security, ecosystems, and biodiversity. In light of this significant progress, companies that disclose through CDP are already suitably equipped to adhere to the newly mandated corporate reporting criteria.
Although numerous companies that disclose through CDP demonstrate preparedness in various facets of the ESRS, encompassing governance, strategy, risks and opportunities, as well as metrics and targets, the ultimate assessment will hinge on the performance of corporations, regardless of their location, when the ambitious standards come into force in 2024. It is vital that corporations are prepared for incoming environmental regulations, however, disclosure is only the first step. Whether your organization is yet to develop a credible climate transition plan, or you are searching for a team of experts to support your organization’s ambition, CDP’s accredited solutions providers are here to help. With invaluable experience and a range of sector expertise, they can guide your organization on its way to environmental leadership.
