Among the numerous regulatory requirements for corporate reporting, topics such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) continue to serve as a central hub for reporting and communication.

The challenge of new regulations continues to put sustainability reporting center stage. Rob Wyse , Climate and Nature Manager at 苏黎世保险 , explains why data management and scenario analysis are so important. Many companies are wondering about the ESG key performance indicators deemed relevant by analysts and investors. Volker Sack , Founder and CEO of the Deutsches Analyse Netzwerk AG (German Analysis Network), shares his initial assessment with us.

Latest developments will also be showcased at our events. At the upcoming CCR Roundtable "Compliance allein ist keine Erfolgsstrategie"?in Heidelberg – together with 拜耳 and Zalando – we will focus on governance and digitalization for effective sustainability reporting (in German only). And in the CSRD Working Group, we are in regular discussions with our members on current challenges and experience in implementing CSRD.

We wish you an inspiring read!
