Fra årsskiftet er en ny gruppe virksomheder forpligtede til at bæredygtighedsrapportere efter EU-fastsatte krav. Mere rapportering er godt for den grønne omstilling, men en elefant at sluge for mange virksomheder.

Hvad hvis det også kunne være en motor for strategisk fornyelse og værdiskabelse?

Her er en række råd til at undgå de mest almindelige faldgruber, når I vælger software til CSRD-processen og andet.

Especially for companies subject to CSRD reporting requirements this is crucial, with companies on one side trying to reduce the number of material matters in order to reduce the cost of reporting, and stakeholders on the other side, who are eager to see if the company really understand their own impacts, risks and opportunities.
