#72 Ulrike Sapiro: Inside the First Wave - A Practitioner’s Perspective on EU Reporting

What has been the experience of first-wave practitioners implementing the EU's sustainability reporting legislation? Listen to Ulrike Sapiro, Chief Sustainability Officer at Henkel

With the CSRD reports of the first wave of EU companies due this year, what are the lessons practitioners have drawn from the experience? And in light of their experience, what do they think of the Omnibus proposals?

This week on the FranklySpeaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Ulrike Sapiro, Chief Sustainability Officer at Henkel, the German-based chemicals and consumer goods company which has already aligned its reporting to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards.

Together they discussed the role of Henkel’s company values in its focus on sustainability, as well as the company’s message to policymakers on what result they want to come out of the European Commission’s Omnibus simplification proposals. You’ll also hear more about:

  • What Henkel thinks of the new Science Based Targets Initiative standard 
  • The German national perspective on the Omnibus 
  • The vital role of technological advances in delivering a net zero and low-carbon future
