Countdown to Omnibus: Join the Conference on Sustainability & Competitiveness in Brussels

?? The #Omnibus is portrayed by some as a tidying up exercise to get rid of duplication. But it should be seen as something more serious than that.

The EU Commission is set to unveil its proposals for changing the CSRD, CSDDD and Taxonomy in February as part of an Omnibus package. However, negotiations remain secretive and shrouded in speculation. While Germany is aggressively lobbying to unravel the CSRD, and subsequently challenging the entire EU ESG agenda, tens of thousands of EU companies have already invested in implementation and do not know what to expect.

Sustainability leaders are warning against the loss of trust and pointing out the critical role that these legislation have for sustainability, capital markets and EU businesses success.

Why does this debate matter? ??

Listen to this special edition of the podcast with Richard Howitt and Filip Gregor, head of Responsible Companies at Frank Bold, to get a summary of what is going on and know why you should attend our upcoming conference on Sustainability & Competitiveness.

?? Last in-person seats to join the conversation in Brussels

Is the EU ESG framework a scapegoat or the culprit of the European and German economic slowdown?

What has the sudden 180? turn on sustainability, and the economic problems, have to do with betting on cheap Russian gas and the Chinese market in the past decades?

And why do the BRICS call EU ESG laws ‘discriminatory protectionist measures under pretext of environmental concerns’ that distort competition?

?? At our conference, key experts and business representatives will tackle the above pressing questions with leading experts and businesses, as well as:

• What to expect from the Omnibus and what it means for companies’ efforts on CSRD, Taxonomy and CSDDD implementation
• How we can sensibly streamline EU ESG reporting legislation so it helps European business and it is not perceived as a burden
• What is the role of the EU sustainability framework for fostering a level playing field, sovereignty and EU resilience
