Unlocking Keys to a Sustainable, Post COP28 Future

Nik Gowing and Ray Nulty discussing the profound implications for all businesses of the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It has just arrived and goes live in 2024.

CSRD is not just about ticking boxes. It is about reshaping and redefining the DNA of business. The aim is to ensure they are as sustainable and accountable as they claim and need to be.

Listen to this podcast conversation that explains the vital new role of CSRD, which few in business seem to realise.

Ray and Nik discuss the new complexities and challenges of CSRD. They urge businesses to use the new directive go beyond compliance to embark on a journey of sustainability transformation. The aim is to convince customers, suppliers, and customers.

🔍 The CSRD is not just a checklist. It is a new regulatory requirement to redefine corporate responsibility. Ray breaks down the magnitude of the data demands— 1200 data points that go well beyond traditional financial metrics. It is a bold move for transparency. Leaders must expect their companies to rethink how they measure success and impact. Auditors must learn a whole new set of skills,

🔒 In conversation with the Founder & Director of Thinking the Unthinkable, Ray sheds light on the pivotal role of boards, auditors, and robust governance structures. Compliance is not merely about avoiding penalties. It is about safeguarding your brand in an era where reputation is synonymous with responsibility.

🚀 Ray says companies must draw inspiration from trailblazers like Patagonia and a small Aussie beauty brand. They have proved that sustainability is not a burden: it is a catalyst for innovation. The CSRD should be viewed as an inspiration, not another hurdle. It is the new opportunity for businesses to lead the charge in this post COP28 era, where the focus must be on accountability and positive impact.
