Your guide to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

Market Insight

March 20, 2024

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will change the way Chief People Officers approach tackling racism, discrimination, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and human rights violations.

HR teams will need to compile extensive reports and the consequences for non-compliance could be severe, yet many businesses are not aware of these new requirements – let alone how to deal with them.

Our webinar with Shereen Daniels, Managing Director of HR rewired, explained the CSRD regulations and how they relate to HR.

Focusing on the S1 Own Workforce, Shereen talked about the practical steps you need to take to prepare your HR team and the business, including:

How social issues are now being treated as business risks: where this comes from and why it’s changing the premise of what it means to be a responsible business.
How CSRD regulations are expanding the scope of corporate reporting to encompass social issues, including racial equity, DEI, and human rights: what this means in real terms and why it matters.
How to navigate politicised environments with sensitivity and strategic foresight: practical tips on how to avoid costly mistakes that can result in damaging your brands reputation.
Preparing for CSRD reporting: what needs to be the priority areas of focus and why
