EU CSRD demystified

In this podcast series, we explore different aspects of the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) – including who the regime applies to and when, an explanation of “double materiality” and the ESRS reporting standards. The CSRD will apply to both EU companies and certain non-EU companies and will require in-scope entities to make extensive sustainability disclosures in their annual reports. Each week, we will be releasing a new podcast covering a different aspect of the CSRD.
