The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is transforming how companies across the European Union report on their sustainability efforts. While its objectives—enhancing transparency and standardising reporting—are clear, the journey to compliance is anything but simple. From navigating complex reporting requirements to leveraging technology for streamlined processes, businesses face an array of challenges and opportunities.
Quentic powered by AMCS, is powering smart sustainability. In their upcoming webinar, Leveraging Technology for Effective CSRD Implementation Across Europe, they will dive deep into this critical topic.

Understanding CSRD Challenges

- Reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.
- Conducting a Double Materiality assessment to identify and prioritise sustainability topics.
- Aligning with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
These requirements apply to a much broader range of businesses, extending to approximately 50,000 organisations across the EU. The timeline is tight, with many companies needing to start reporting on 2024 data as early as 2025.
The webinar starts with an exploration of these challenges, offering insights into how businesses in different sectors and regions are approaching them. You’ll hear anonymised use cases showcasing companies from the DACH region, the Nordics, Benelux, France, and the UK & Ireland, each navigating unique hurdles.
