Divided into three parts, each segment will offer a deep exploration of EU regulations and their significant implications for U.S. companies.
- Making Connections 1: Placing CSRD in the Context of the EU Regulatory Landscape (Wednesday, April 24th @ 1PM EST, 60 min) - The CSRD is a natural progression of pre-existing EU legislation and a significant step forward for achieving long-term EU sustainability and climate goals. Recognizing this context allows us to better understand the intent behind CSRD and gain useful insight into how the regulatory landscape may continue to evolve. Peter Paul van de Wijs, Chief Policy Officer of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) will be joining this segment of the series and will address the impacts on U.S. companies.

Sustainability professionals will gain the knowledge needed to effectively align their strategies with multiple regulatory standards.
- IFRS' ISSB Reporting Standards (Fall 2024 - To Be Announced)
This segment delves into the IFRS International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and its emerging standards.
