Earth Day activates billions across the world to safeguard our planet and fight for a brighter future. This year, Raoul Empey will deliver a presentation on the growing requirements for businesses to provide comprehensive climate risk disclosures, set science-based targets, and develop credible Climate Action plans that chart the reduction of environmental impacts to 2030 and beyond.

Raoul will provide a sense of context and direction for companies that trade globally, outline the multiple requirements and challenges of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) reporting, as well as an understanding of supply-chain and what is driving these reporting requirements. He will discuss setting Net Zero and Science-Based targets, how the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will apply to US companies operating in Europe, and synergies between the CSRD and the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) reporting rules for climate-related risks compliance in the USA. The webinar aims to reflect on what is driving climate disclosure reporting in your country and will be an engaging and interactive experience.
