Chapter Zero Netherlands

Wat betekent de uitkomst van vandaag over de groene EU wetten voor de rol van de commissaris? Hoe moeten commissarissen hiermee omgaan? Tijdens het jaarevenement van Chapter Zero Netherlands op 5 maart gaan we hierover in gesprek met Lara Wolters. #CorporateGovernance #Geopolitiek #Duurzaamheid #Klimaat Sylvia Robben Lara Wolters Climate Governance Initiative

Vooruitblik en inzichten: Klimaatgovernance op de internationale agenda Met 35+ chapters wereldwijd en de centrale Climate Governance Initiative helpen we bestuurders zich voor te bereiden op de belangrijkste klimaatbijeenkomsten. In 2024 deelden we strategische briefings, navigators en pocketgidsen, zodat boardrooms wereldwijd goed geïnformeerd en voorbereid waren op cruciale gesprekken.

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰: 𝐀𝐧 𝐎𝐦𝐧𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫 Tomorrow, the European Commission will present the #Omnibus proposal that is supposed to "simplify" (read: undo) most corporate sustainability rules in the European Union. Yet, regardless of the content of the Omnibus, the law won't change overnight. Instead, it will take long for the Omnibus to be adopted, and it may change heavily in the coming year(s). 📝 A proposal from the Commission is just that: 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒂𝒍. It will in fact be at least two proposals because the #EUTaxonomy should be amended by a Regulation, while the #CSRD and the #CS3D are directives. These proposals will then go to the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, as well as some other institutions that may issue opinions on the legislative file: national parliaments, the European Central Bank, and the Economic and Social Committee. 🕰️ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝑼. It took 21 months for the CSRD to be adopted; 25 months for the Taxonomy Regulation; and 26 months for CS3D! Even relatively simple legislative acts to change the location of an EU agency generally take one full year to be adopted. In other words, it is likely that we won't know the full and exact content of the Omnibus before... 2027, when the CSRD will have produced most of its effects and the CS3D will have started to apply. Until then, they remain laws and will be enforced by national authorities, there's no suspension... 🏗️ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅, and we're at the beginning of a new term so the legislative pipeline is less clogged than usually. But the Parliament's pro-European 𝒎𝒂𝒋𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒎𝒏𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒔, with opposition from the left and greens, and social-democrats advocating only minor changes in the CSRD and refusing any amendments of the CS3D, while the EPP is ready to play it Musk/Milei with their chainsaw fantasy. The Parliament's legislative counterpart, the Council, is less divided but there are strong opinions on both ends of the sprectrum, and special interests will surely divide them on some issues. Resolving all these differences, first within the Parliament and the Council and then between them, will take long. 🏛️ Finally, whatever those decide will not become law quickly. CSRD and CS3D are directives, meaning they are being transposed into national law as we speak. The Omnibus proposal may slow down the transposition of due diligence rules, but corporate reporting rules have been implemented by 20/27 States already, and Portugal is the only one that has not yet tabled a legislative draft. The 𝑶𝒎𝒏𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒔 𝒊𝒕𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 and that will take time. So if a decision is reached as soon as 2026, expect at least one to two years for Member States to change national law...

Transition plans that focus on ticking a compliance box are a missed opportunity.. when done right, they should prompt your organisation into understanding and disclosing the extent of transformation needed to tap into the opportunities a low carbon future will present.. In our new CSRD episode, we talk about the key elements of successful transition planning and provide practical insights on getting started on integrating climate goals into your business strategy to leverage them for growth.

Does your company have a credible transition plan? Or has 2024 just been another year of pledges?     More companies than ever before are disclosing their transition plans and momentum is growing to establish standards, policy and regulation on transition planning across the world.     No matter where your company is on its journey, our Transition Planning Toolkit can help you successfully integrate climate strategy into core business, to ensure you are meaningfully contributing to a transition to a climate-resilient economy.    The Toolkit is aligned with the Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) Disclosure Framework and Implementation Guidance and is made up of four elements: a Briefing, Scorecard, Governance Compass, and Barriers and Enablers. It is designed to be revisited and reused as companies progress and challenges and opportunities shift.    Directors, it’s time to lead.
