ESG Webcast Episode 1: Let’s go ESG – Eva Aschauer

This video is about ESG – Environmental, Social and Governance. We will look at what ESG means, the drivers behind the ESG movement and why mandatory sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly important for companies.

The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an important milestone in this area, as it standardizes corporate reporting on ESG issues and makes it mandatory. We will also look at the European sustainability reporting standards and what significance they have for the ESG assessment of companies.

Another important topic is the EU Taxonomy Regulation and its foundations. We will take a closer look at the six environmental objectives of the EU Taxonomy and how they help to promote sustainability in the economy.

We will also discuss ESG rating agencies, which play an important role in assessing the sustainability performance of companies. We will also look at how sustainable finance and investment can help create a more sustainable economy.

Overall, there are many facets to ESG, but in this video we will cover the basics and key drivers for the ESG movement to create a better understanding of the importance of sustainability in business. So, let’s go ESG!
