This O.I.B.R. Webinar aims to explore and discuss the technical reporting issues that an EU company faces when preparing an integrated report in the context of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRSs) and the CSRD. Indeed, the need for complying with certain legal requirements imposed by the new EU setting, such as the mandatory inclusion of sustainability disclosures in a special section of management reports as well as the rigid structure of the sustainability statements, can make it complex to respect the indications from the Integrated Reporting Framework.
On the other hand, according to some other views, the new EU legislation and standards may also foster the adoption of integrated reporting owing to the coherence between the disclosure contents of the IR Framework and those required by the ESRS and the CSRD.
Facing these challenges there are at the moment hundreds of EU companies that have implemented integrated reporting over the years. Thus, addressing successfully this issue is a necessary element of the evolving puzzle of sustainability reporting in Europe and internationally.
