Upcoming webinar: Quantifying Sustainability Risks for CSRD Reporting and Business Strategy. Understanding and quantifying sustainability risks is no longer optional—it’s a regulatory requirement under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Businesses must disclose how these risks impact operations and supply chains, making robust risk management essential. In this session, Urja will dive into: ✔️ The complexities of sustainability risks across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions. ✔️ The critical role of data-driven strategies in risk mitigation and CSRD compliance. ✔️ Practical steps to enhance your approach to sustainability risk management. Date: 4 December 2024 Time: 9.00 - 10.00 AM CET Register here: https://lnkd.in/dmR5M8NJ #Sustainability #CSRD #RiskManagement #ESG #Compliance #Webinar

Our Chief Commercial Officer & Senior Advisor, Andreas T. Filipsson shares insights on the European Commission's proposed Omnibus regulation on EU consumer protection laws for new market developments.   The #Omnibusregulation was referenced by Ursula von der Leyen in a recent informal meeting with Heads of State and Government in Budapest, offering some clarity on the Commission's direction.   The Commission aims to streamline sustainability frameworks, including the EU Taxonomy, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The frameworks are designed to reduce bureaucratic complexity by addressing overlapping data points and eliminating redundancies between existing regulations.   Ursula von der Leyen emphasized: “The content of the laws is good, we want to maintain it and we will maintain it.”   Ethos welcomes her statement and underlines the importance of stability. With significant investments already made by companies to comply with these frameworks, any major revisions at this stage could disrupt progress and create unnecessary uncertainty. The focus must remain on supporting businesses in their sustainability efforts without additional complexity.   Watch the full press conference here: https://lnkd.in/deQwfcWC

The ripple effects of the U.S. election have far-reaching consequences for countries, industries, and global supply chains, underscoring the need for businesses to adapt and respond effectively to these shifts. As Management Consultants, we recognise the critical importance of staying ahead of the curve in today’s rapidly evolving business environment and understanding this new business landscape. Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting an event titled The U.S. Election Is Over—Now What for Business, Geopolitics, and Sustainability? in collaboration with AmCham Sweden - American Chamber of Commerce in Sweden and Consilio International. Key takeaways from the discussion underscored the urgent need for resilient supply chains, effective strategies for managing economic uncertainty, and the profound impact of the green transition on global industries. With the evolving geopolitical landscape, many companies are strategically positioning personnel in key hubs such as Washington and Brussels to stay ahead of policy shifts and international relations. A particularly engaging conversation centered on the Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S., which is having wide-reaching implications for industries and driving changes in future business strategies. A special thank you to our esteemed panellists: Erik Savola, Head of Nordics at Citi Andreas von der Heide, CEO and Co-Founder at Consilio International Peter Dahlen, Managing Director at AmCham Sweden - American Chamber of Commerce in Sweden Malin Speace, CEO at Ethos, moderated the engaging discussion. Thank you to all participants for contributing to such a valuable conversation! #Geopolitics #Sustainability #Economics

Webinar: Navigating the UK Sustainability Disclosure Regulation (SDR) This year, the UK introduced its Sustainability Disclosure Regulation (SDR), starting with the anti-greenwashing rule and now offering financial players a framework to label their products. While the SDR shares similarities with the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), it places greater emphasis on product classification and entity-level disclosures. Join us as we explore: ✅ Key differences between the EU SFDR and UK SDR frameworks. ✅ Core concepts of the UK SDR and how companies are responding. ✅ What to consider when launching a UK fund with an SDR label. ✅ How these frameworks drive capital towards sustainable initiatives. Learn how investment firms, asset managers, and private equity firms can turn SDR compliance into a competitive advantage. 📅 Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead in sustainable finance.
