What’s the verdict on how well first-wave companies have been reporting according to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive? Listen to Frank Bold’s own Lorena Bisignano and Louis Establet

Amid all the noise and confusion around the future of corporate sustainability reporting due to the Omnibus modifications, what does the research actually tell us about the effectiveness of the EU’s sustainability legislation?
The answer: the CSRD is working, and it's already driving meaningful change in practice – that's the key message from our latest report into 100 company disclosures according to the directive.
In this episode of the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Frank Bold experts Lorena Bisignano and Louis Establet who co-authored the study “Delivering on Sustainability: Evidence from the first year of CSRD implementation.”
Together they revealed key insights from the performance record of 100 company disclosures across Western and Eastern Europe according to the CSRD and gave their advice to policymakers on how to best support companies in their sustainability reporting journey. You’ll also hear more about:
