EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive to revolutionize global company reporting, decision-making + integrate Scope 3. CSRD applies to all non-EU firms with significant business in the EU, which means nearly all large multinationals and a major percentage of SMEs. CSRD goes much beyond ESG and previous EU reporting requirements, in that it makes necessary the integration of risks, targets opportunities and includes due diligence, relative to environment and people, in corporate strategies and business models. This covers global financial endeavours and short- and medium term data necessary to guide decision making. CSRD requires disclosures on how goals will be met in 13 different areas plus Scope 3. Essential CSRD content must cover quantitative, qualitative descriptions on sustainability themes such as climate change, pollution, biodiversity and ecosystems, water waste and marine resources, resources use and circular economy, working conditions over the value chain, diversity, consumers and end users, community impacts, human rights and business ethics, in addition to Scope 3. Thus the CSRD is much more than a compliance exercise with lofty ESG narrations without any information on targets, timelines, how objectives will be met and measurements of progress, or the lack of it, relative to previous sustainability goals.

TULIP Year in Review "Missing Pieces" "2023 has been a packed year for TULIP Consulting. A big part of this year's focus for TULIP was on identifying and addressing "missing pieces" in an increasingly complex trade and sustainable development landscape. With regards to the EU green trade agenda, pursued through mostly unilateral measures, one missing piece is the development dimension. Together with Europe Jacques Delors, TULIP has contributed to developing a "Triangle Framework" - focused on the trade, environment and development - nexus, suggesting how the EU can better integrate the development dimension in its green trade agenda going forward. To understand better specific challenges and opportunities developing countries face in the context of the green transition, TULIP has also worked closely with developing country governments, delivering workshops and training sessions in Africa and Asia, in sessions organized by the International Trade Centre and the World Bank. Many of these discussions highlighted the importance of developing trade and development approaches that enable countries to grow and create jobs while at the same time addressing climate change and other environmental challenges. Doing so requires developing pro-active and forward-looking approaches to sustainable development and industrial policy - another missing piece. As aptly put by Dani Rodrik and Stiglitz in a January 2024 paper: "we are at a turning point in development strategy. Strategies that worked well in the past are unlikely to do so in the decades ahead...New technologies, the climate challenge, and the reconfiguration of globalization require a new approach for development emphasizing two critical areas: the green transition and labor-absorbing services. Unfortunately, policy makers do not have ready-made recipes or successful models to emulate." Another key focus area of TULIP Consulting in 2023 was the circular economy. In work commissioned by OVAM, the Flanders Waste Management Agency, TULIP developed a legal framework for the EU to address excessive resource consumption - the missing piece of the EU's circular economy agenda mostly focuses on waste management. This report will be used to inform the priorities set by the Belgian government now that it has taken over the presidency of the EU Council. TULIP also completed a comprehensive study for GIZ on trade law and an inclusive circular transition for developing countries, focusing on the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs). TULIP also participated in the Remaking Trade for a Sustainable Future Project, contributing research on the circular economy and the textiles industry in Africa..."

Sustainability and Communication Expert, Co-founder and Executive Director of GEM CSR and ESG Consulting
Understanding the importance of effective communication in driving sustainable development is at the core of what I do. My journey is unique, blending diverse experiences from environmental management to journalism, and even roles within government as an advisor and head of a press service. Collaborating with international organizations such as the World Bank and REC Caucasus has enriched my perspective on global sustainability challenges. As the creator and host of the only regional weekly show dedicated to sustainable development, I've had the opportunity to explore various facets of environmental issues, engaging a wide audience in meaningful conversations. Now, leading my own business focused on integrating ESG policies into business processes, I'm committed to leveraging my comprehensive background to foster genuine engagement across all levels of society. From high mountain shepherds to cotton and tea harvesters, my aim is to ensure that sustainable development conversations reach every corner, involving not just officials and NGOs but everyone who plays a part in our ecosystem. I am deeply committed to ensuring that sustainable communications become the norm, not the exception. My mission is to bridge gaps, foster understanding, and build a strong foundation for sustainable development through effective dialogue. By drawing on my background in environmental management, journalism, and strategic roles in both government and business, I am poised to catalyze change and make sustainable communications a standard practice across all sectors and communities. This is the change I am working towards, ensuring that everyone, from policymakers to the grassroots level, can contribute to and benefit from a more sustainable future.
