Welcome to this special series of Ibec Responds on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which supports our guide to business: Unpacking CSRD.
As businesses face increasing demands for transparency and accountability, the CSRD represents a pivotal shift in how companies approach sustainability reporting.
In this series you'll hear firsthand from industry leaders about the challenges, strategies, and opportunities they have encountered on their journey towards compliance.
These conversations offer valuable insights and practical advice to help your business meet the evolving standards.
In the first episode of our 'Unpacking CSRD' series, Kara McGann, Head of Skills and Social Policy at Ibec, is in conversation with Derek Scully, Head of Corporate Affairs with Energia Group.
