Explore the challenges and implications of corporate climate disclosures, the value of this data for both companies and investors, and the implications of recently introduced regulations such as the EU Taxonomy and upcoming ones like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and its European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) – which aims to bring greater transparency to areas we lack information in, such as Scope 3 emissions.
