The impact of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will be felt well beyond the confines of the EU. Organisations that are not directly impacted by the mandate are still looking to it as a new gold standard to model their integrated reporting practices so they meet ever-increasing stakeholder demands—in part because it will bring limited, then reasonable, assurance to their integrated reports.
Right now, there’s an opportunity for risk professionals to cement their role as a strategic partner within the wider business. And it’s an opportunity that starts with developing a frictionless roadmap towards integrated reporting with assurance.
