Ecovis ProventusLaw, Ecovis Germany and the German-Baltic Chamber of Commerce in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (AHK) are proud to share a record of a webinar on the important topic of ESG and the new EU legislation - CSRD reporting.

During this webinar, we emphasize the importance of ESG and the upcoming changes to the CSRD reporting requirements. ESG measures a company's sustainability and ethical practices in environmental, social, and governance areas and is increasingly important to investors and consumers. The CSRD requires large companies and public-interest entities to disclose ESG information consistently and comparably, including environmental and social aspects, governance, and human rights.

Beyond compliance, CSRD reporting involves strategy and board-level involvement in sustainability governance. Our panel of ESG experts from Lithuania and Germany discuss the upcoming CSRD reporting requirements and the importance of compliance with the ESG requirements to the value chain.
