Shaping the Future of Sustainability Reporting in Switzerland   In October, the consultation period for the amendments to the Swiss Code of Obligations on non-financial (i.e., sustainability) reporting came to a close. Cantons, trade associations, companies, and other stakeholders shared their perspectives on the updated proposals, which include aligning Swiss sustainability reporting requirements with the EU's CSRD.   ✅ Supporters emphasized the benefits of these amendments in aligning Switzerland with international standards, enhancing the competitiveness of Swiss enterprises, and advancing the country's Net Zero by 2050 goal.   ⚠️ Challenges raised included the significant administrative burden, with costs estimated at up to CHF 180K, a major burden for SMEs particularly, as well as concerns about the practical enforcement of these regulations.   📈 The reality for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is that they are increasingly being asked by their larger, regulated customers to provide sustainability and ESG data, regardless of regulatory timelines. Technology can play a pivotal role in reducing the reporting burden while embedding sustainability as a strategic driver for SMEs. By focusing on user-friendly, scalable solutions, Ascentys empowers SMEs to not only meet compliance requirements but also thrive in an evolving business landscape.   #Ascentys #Sustainability #ManageSimply #ESG #SMEs #CSRD #Technology #Innovation #ESGreporting #Sustainabilityreporting   You can see the compiled comments here: https://lnkd.in/gYyYz546
