Hi, I am Bonnie Schneider with your Ecotech Analyst Insight News from Europe. The eus Corporate Sustainability reporting directive has been partially delayed from 2024 to 2026. The extended timeline solely for sector specific reporting means it's tailored to different industries.
Does this also mean that organizations can relax their efforts? Well, the answer is no coming due just one year from now. Designated public companies must disclose their ESG risks based on their current 2024 data.
Whose impacted will companies hack forward in the EU and those outside with major operations in the region? If you're wondering, are businesses prepared for this transformative shift? A recent PWC survey says, yes they are, but they do face challenges.
PWC pulled hundreds of executives and senior professionals across over 30 countries. Their findings, well many say they haven't completed certain tasks detailing the financial impact of their sustainability, not just for themselves, but also how their activities affect the environment and society. The biggest concerns of those surveys cited data availability and data quality.
This survey underscored the effort to drive sustainability across business operations. The EU regulators aim to foster transparency and to create a level playing field for responsible business practices.
