The EU’s Omnibus package is set to reshape sustainability reporting by scaling back requirements for many businesses. Under the latest proposals, only the largest companies would report under ESRS and be subject to CSRD — while a two-year delay for second- and third-wave companies has been confirmed via the ‘Stop the Clock’ directive.
In this webinar, we’ll unpack what these changes mean for your business, explore the evolving landscape of ESG obligations, and provide clarity on the new Voluntary SME (VSME) reporting standard. Whether you’re preparing to report or simply want to stay ahead of policy changes, this session will help you make sense of what’s coming — and how to respond.
