After the SEC paused its climate disclosure rule, many financial reporting teams were asking themselves, "Now what?" 🤷♂️🤷♂️ We now have some answers in the form of Workiva's recently released practitioner survey results which found that the majority of companies (81%) surveyed across the U.S., Europe, and APAC plan to voluntarily comply with the EU's #CSRD. 🙋♀️🙋♀️ This tells me that while the SEC paused its climate rule, financial reporting teams shouldn't be pausing their preparation for integrating their financial and non-financial reporting, and being sure it's ready for audit. 🔎🔎 Check out Workiva's post below for a link to the survey results! To hear more about how companies are preparing for CSRD and the evolving corporate reporting landscape, please join us at our free #Accelerate events that kick off next week.

With teams working to manage the steady flow of new ESG disclosure requirements and requests, this 2024 ESG Practitioners Survey commissioned by Workiva is worth a read. It's in a digestible format, so you can quickly see the latest thinking of ESG practitioners globally. It's great to see ESG practitioners thinking like business leaders, seeking to drive efficiency and reliability through digital transformation with: 92% currently undergoing or planning digital transformation projects to improve collaboration among teams involved in reporting, 91% to enhance workflow, and 90% to integrate controls within the reporting environment. Also, the survey highlights the CSRD emerging as a gold standard for reporting, with 81% of those surveyed indicating they still plan to align all or part of their reporting strategies with it, even though they are not subject to it. Standards help drive efficiency, so it's great to see progress. I encourage you to take a look...

New ESG research from @workiva - unique insights 👇 At Accelerate in London yesterday, the Workiva customer and partner event on all things integrated reporting and regulation, strong themes emerged: - ESG is not the sustainability department's sole responsibility. ESG brings organizations together. #CSRD is just the start. Regulation for all countries is inevitable. - Change is accelerating. - Greenwashing is very last year. Authentic narrative is in. - Corporate reports are now for everyone: employees, partners, suppliers, prospects, candidates. Distribute appropriately.

🆕 Beginning in 2024, companies will have to face the challenging process of reporting on multiple metrics and targets as new compulsory ESG rules have surfaced globally. With ESG reporting being top-of-mind for so many leading organizations, understanding the complex process cannot be acquired with an epiphany. ✅At EcoSkills, we acknowledge how challenging for ESG leaders it is to equip themselves with the right skills to make fully informed judgments because of the wide range of demands from investors and stakeholders as well as the lack of clarity surrounding the specifics of upcoming legislation and standards. ⚠️Companies require awareness to pick and choose among the available frameworks, rather than blindly completing everything in the hopes that it will make them equivalent. 💡What factors should businesses consider in their future efforts regarding ESG reporting? Is your knowledge on the matter sufficient? 👉🏼Read everything you need to know in our most recent article. https://lnkd.in/duURMY4p #esg #esgreporting #sustainability #EcoSkillsadademy

[HOW COMPANIES CAN STRENGTHEN THEIR #ESG REPORTING PRACTICES]    To date, ESG reporting has been voluntary. Multiple financial markets have either adopted or are contemplating regulation to introduce some level of mandatory reporting. While this will get us closer to standardized, comparable ESG information, the standard of practice is by no means a settled matter. The voluntary standards that have been with us for varying amounts of time (GRI, TCFD, and ISSB) will now be working to position themselves as full or partial solutions to these regulations and to the ongoing inquiries of stakeholders of all stripes. With all that in mind...   This Advisory Bulletin offers insights about how companies can most effectively manage the still-evolving landscape of #ESG disclosure. It was developed by BCCCC's Advisory Board on ESG Reporting, including Francis Hyatt, Executive Vice President, Chief Sustainability Officer, Liberty Mutual, and ESG Reporting Advisory Board Chair, who is quoted below.   Download your copy of this important bulletin here:   https://lnkd.in/ebSMzJU5 #esgstrategy #sustainabilityreport #sustainabilityreporting #esgreport #esgreporting #sustainabilitystrategy #esgdata #gristandards #tcfd #issbstandards #issb
