Sustainability

In PwC’s recent Asia Pacific CSRD webinar, our subject matter experts discussed how the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will affect the companies in Asia Pacific region. They examined the transposition status of multiple EU countries to understand country-specific legislations and highlighted key reporting timelines that non-EU companies should be aware of. They also shared real-life case studies on CSRD readiness, including scoping and the double materiality assessment, to illustrate how we can help meet the requirements.

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is one of the EU initiatives to drive the transition to a sustainable economic environment by improving the transparency on sustainability disclosures. By requiring more entities to provide mandatory sustainability disclosures, the CSRD is designed to drive changes in company behavior and bring sustainability reporting on par with financial reporting over time.

Ms. Nadja Picard, PwC Global Reporting Leader, shared the insights, practical experience, and market expectation on CSRD through “Requirement and Practice of Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) Seminar”.

ESG reporting – Double materiality approach

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandates companies operating within the EU to consider the impact of sustainability practices not only on their financial outcomes but also on the wider ecosystems and economies they function in. This leads to a discussion of ‘double materiality’ which requires companies to take into account the financial materiality perspective in an 'outside-in' approach and the impact materiality for affected stakeholders in an 'inside-out' approach. What does the concept of ‘double materiality’ truly entail, and how can your business incorporate this into its sustainability strategy and reporting?

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) – how can non-EU companies get ready

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is one of the EU initiatives to drive the transition to a sustainable economic environment by improving the transparency on #sustainability disclosures. Non-EU enterprises should thoroughly assess whether the CSRD applies to their group or any of their EU or non-EU subsidiaries. It is particularly crucial if their securities are listed on an ‘EU-regulated’ market or if the group generates significant revenue within the EU. What are the criteria that companies need to meet and when should they start reporting?

Sustainability reporting - CSRD update

The European Union (EU) Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (#CSRD) has been adopted and is designed to harmonise and improve the quality of #sustainability #reporting for EU and certain non-EU companies. What are the new reporting initiatives and how can non-EU companies prepare for this?

Asia Pacific is the world’s fastest growing region and one of the most important players in the global effort to combat climate change with most of its economies having pledged to net zero or carbon neutrality by 2050. However, it accounts for more than half of the world's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and this is expected to continue to rise as the population and economies continue to grow.
