keyboard_arrow_down

About the session

At its heart, sustainability is about how a company creates value for and mitigates its negative impact on people and the planet. Globally, companies are increasingly being required to adopt measures to disclose the way they mitigate and account for their adverse human rights impacts. Regulations such as the CSDDD, the EU Taxonomy and the Norwegian Transparency Act outline clear requirements for human rights. Our Head of Corporate Sustainability, Susanne Winge together with Linnéa Waninger, Supply Chain Lead & Advisor at Ethos, will deep dive into legislation and how to proactively work with human rights processes.

Mastering the data collection in line with upcoming regulations

keyboard_arrow_down

About the session

Sustainability data is an important aspect of the new EU regulations. Companies will need to report a range of different KPIs depending on industry, company size and business relationships. This also requires an understanding of how to collect, manage, and follow up on the data. It involves relationships with people – and how your customers, investors, partners, suppliers, and employees gather and utilize sustainability data for decision-making and value creation. The final data will be assured by third-party auditors, the relationship and involvement of your company auditor is therefore crucial to understand the requirements. Join this session when our Head of DigitalSolutions & Analysis, Niklas Vinge, breaks down what data is required to report upon and when and Peter Ekberg, Partner, Audit & Assurance,  from Deloitte, takes you through important insights to be ready for the data audit.

About the session

In February 2023, Article 8 and 9 funds (as part of SFDR) collectively accounted for over EUR 6 trillion in assets (55% of AUMin Europe). This means that if you want to access 55% of the EU fund market(the second largest market in the world after the US), you will have to report on and improve performance in relation to sustainability indicators. How can you as a fund stand out compared to other funds? How can you attain high-quality data and how does this relate to setting up a sustainable investment portfolio? This and more during this session with our Sustainable Finance advisor Jennifer Ljungquist.
