The EU (CSRD) has far-reaching implications for how EU and non-EU companies, including financial institutions, assess, address, and disclose human rights-related risks and impacts. The (ESRS)—which build on CSRD and provide operational guidance to companies—call on companies to conduct due diligence in line with the UN in order to identify and account for how they manage material impacts. This includes disclosure of how companies engage affected stakeholders to understand how they may be impacted by the company’s activities and value chain. To help financial institutions understand what this means for their own operations and their portfolios, please join our members-only webinar to explore:

• The human rights aspects of CSRD/ESRS and key implications for sustainability reporting by financial institutions.
• Practical strategies for financial institutions to approach their own human rights disclosures under CSRD, including stakeholder engagement and due diligence.
• What financial institutions should expect to see in the sustainability reports of clients and investees.
• Human rights gaps and potential risks associated with CSRD/ESRS, including accuracy and availability of human rights data.  
• The relationship between CSRD and other regulatory developments (e.g., Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, EU Taxonomy, EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive).

As part of our interactive discussion, we will facilitate Q&A to address key questions and comments from the audience on this ground-breaking piece of legislation.
