All About Water’s Post

We’ve just wrapped an inspiring #WorkivaAmplify in Amsterdam! Sustainable value creation took center stage as leaders from across Europe prepare for the CSRD. Conversations with Workiva customers and partners confirmed that the CSRD is more than a mandate: 80% of companies worldwide, even those not required to comply, plan to align with it as a global baseline for accountability, performance, and sustainability. Paul Polman’s closing keynote highlighted the incredible opportunity ahead for all of us. He said, “the cost of not acting is higher than the cost of acting.” Because, “if you just wait to receive legislation, you will only deal with the symptoms. If you get ahead of it, you deal with the underlying causes.” Amplify is unmatched—our 6,000 global customers, including hundreds at Amplify EMEA, bring incredible passion and vision. Together, we’re building strong foundations for sustainable growth, empowering teams to interpret data, provide insights, and drive sound business decisions. Assured integrated reporting is key to creating lasting value. I can’t wait to do it all again in Barcelona on 7–8 May—Save your spot  https://lnkd.in/gYZx8y8E I’ll also be at COP29 in Baku on 14 November to further discuss the importance of transparency, accountable leadership, and building trust.
