Course Description:

The European Union believes that consumers, investors, and other stakeholders deserve to know the sustainability impact of businesses. Therefore, as part of the EU’s focus on directing finance towards the European Green Deal objectives, a new Directive has recently been approved, which will reinforce the EU’s sustainable finance agenda.

This Directive is the Corporate Sustainable Reporting Directive (CSRD), which marks a distinct change and increase in the corporate reporting requirements from what is currently required to be disclosed.

Over the next few years, listed companies (except for micro entities) and large businesses will have to comply with CSRD reporting requirements. A crucial area that is being addressed is the level of detail and scope of information that companies will now be required to report on.

The Commission has published near-final sustainability reporting standards in June 2023. Eligible companies will need to adapt for FY 2024 reporting, with more companies covered in later periods. It is therefore important for companies to start preparing now by informing themselves of this new reporting requirement.

This training event will answer the following questions:

• Which companies must comply with CSRD?
• When will the CSRD come into effect?
• What do I need to do now?
• How will this affect my reporting processes?

Contact us for an on demand training session, to discuss key insights on the CSRD.

Target Audience:

C-level management, company/group decision makers or sustainabilty heads of organisations.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the sessions, you should be able to:

• Understand when your company must comply with CSRD
• Understand what your reporting obligations are under this new directive
• What can you do now to prepare for this directive

Venue: Kindly contact us on kla@kpmg.com.mt to indicate your preferred training method; online or in-person.

CPE Hours: This course qualifies for 1.5 hours of Structured CPE which can be classified as Core Competency. A certificate of attendance will be provided at the end of the session.
