Discover how technology can streamline sustainability reporting and help businesses meet new regulatory requirements at this free breakfast seminar with experts from KPMG and Sustainity.

Sustainability reporting involves gathering data on environmental impact, social conditions, and economic factors for businesses. In 2022, the EU adopted new regulations on this topic, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which may impact how your company must handle sustainability data.

New regulations on sustainability reporting in the Accounting Act and Securities Trading Act will be introduced gradually from the fiscal year 2024. The goal of these new rules is to ensure comparable, reliable, and easily accessible decision-relevant information about various types of sustainability risks companies are exposed to and how they impact people and the environment.

At this breakfast seminar, we focus on how technology can support sustainability reporting—whether it involves meeting the new CSRD requirements or other reporting needs.

The Right Technology Choice Can Help Companies Address Key Challenges:
  • Sustainability as part of business risk

  • Stricter reporting requirements

  • Increased expectations from banks, insurance companies, customers—and their customers—as well as public opinion

KPMG will share its local expertise and provide insight into how businesses can navigate an increasingly complex landscape of requirements and expectations. Additionally, an innovative tech company from Innlandet, Sustainity, will present cutting-edge, technology-based solutions for sustainability reporting.

Target Audience

This seminar is designed for those working in technology, IT, and sustainability management within companies. However, it is also relevant for CEOs, CFOs, accounting managers, and board chairs.
