The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) recently delivered the amended European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), introducing significant simplifications.

Dr. Liad Ortar, Senior Technical Manager from EFRAG, the organization that authors the ESRS, joined Sphera sustainability consultants to discuss the amended ESRS exposure drafts in detail. The webinar provides a clear, practical breakdown of the revisions and their implications for sustainability reporting.

Sustainability professionals should watch the webinar for:

  • Looking ahead – What’s next for the ESRS: Gain insights into the revised framework, including the transition from previous reporting structures. Learn about the expected timeline, key milestones and actionable steps to prepare for the finalization of the standards.
  • Implications for CSRD wave 1 and wave 2 companies: Gain clarity on the specific processes and requirements your organization must fulfill under the amended standards.
  • Deep dive into ESRS E5 – Resource Use & Circular Economy: Explore the revised structure, data requirements and reporting expectations of ESRS E5. This dedicated session with Dr. Liad Ortar will include practical examples and implementation guidance.
