Industry association
2024
Sustainability reporting is being elevated to the same level as financial reporting. This creates new challenges for the management of the environmental social governance data to be collected and for audit-compliant reporting as a whole. The identification of data points relevant to reporting based on the results of the materiality analysis as well as the company-wide collection and structuring of the relevant data and, if necessary, the corresponding implementation in IT systems are important steps on the way to the sustainability report.
Based on the experience gained from our previous Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) projects, we have written a practical guide to successful data management for an industry association. The guide also contains information on audit-proof reporting. The following content is covered in detail:
The guide ends with concrete steps and recommendations for action for companies.
The guide provides information that can be linked to the two other guides (materiality analysis and sustainable governance in the context of CSRD). The finished guide will be published on the industry association's website and can be viewed and downloaded by member companies. Member companies will also be offered an online webinar on the results of the guidelines.
