Climate Issues Lost Momentum in the 2024 EU Elections
In addition to being sidelined in the current campaign, climate and environmental issues seem particularly prone to political polarization: ambitious measures require trust in scientific institutions, international coordination, and a holistic approach to take into consideration social and economic pain points – otherwise, we can foresee climate policy becoming the scapegoat for other major crises like the rising cost of living or rising unemployment.
Sustainability Reporting Journey: Double Materiality Assessment
We embarked on a 6-month mission with thyssenkrupp Marine Systems. This journey began with a Double Materiality Assessment, a crucial step in identifying material ESG issues to be included in the inaugural thyssenkrupp Marine Systems sustainability report based on ESRS standards.
CSRD: Europe leads the way for ESG reporting
Great news from the EU: The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) promotes increased transparency and harmonized disclosure for sustainability information in financial reports. Broadening the Non-Financial Reporting Directive’s scope, CSRD introduces double materiality and standardized reporting, which will be progressively implemented between 2025-2029.
