Join us for our upcoming conference to engage in meaningful dialogue on shaping a sustainable and competitive future for the EU.
The EU Commission is set to unveil its proposals for changing the CSRD, CSDDD and Taxonomy in February as part of an Omnibus package. However, negotiations remain secretive and shrouded in speculation. While Germany is aggressively lobbying to unravel the CSRD, and subsequently challenging the entire EU ESG agenda, tens of thousands of EU companies have already invested in implementation and do not know what to expect.
Sustainability leaders are warning against the loss of trust and pointing out the critical role that these legislation have for sustainability, capital markets and EU businesses success.
Is the EU ESG framework a scapegoat or the culprit of the European and German economic slowdown? What has the sudden 180˚ turn on sustainability, and the economic problems, have to do with betting on cheap Russian gas and the Chinese market in the past decades? And why do the BRICS call EU ESG laws ‘discriminatory protectionist measures under pretext of environmental concerns’ that distort competition?
