The CDSB has held a series of briefings around the disclosure under the EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive ahead of a major report launch in December.
The briefings identify strengths and weaknesses of 2019 corporate disclosure, based on the findings of the Falling Short? report. The briefing webinars below zoom in on two specific topics - TCFD and Risk disclosure, and three countries - France, Germany and Poland.
On 7 December, CDSB will be publishing its most recent review of 2020 disclosure by the largest companies in the European Union, and we are delighted to invite you to join the event - click here to sign up.
