Sustainability Bridges

A closer look at the first CSRD reports – and what we can learn from them for the Omnibus package

In this episode of Sustainability Bridges, we are joined by special guest Professor Thorsten Sellhorn, Director of the Institute for Accounting, Auditing and Analysis at the Munich School of Management, part of the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich.

During the episode, Professor Sellhorn walks us through the findings of his insightful research that analyses the firstsustainability reports that large companies published in line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). He also details the information and data points available through the Sustainability Reporting Navigator, an AI-driven platform that allows anyone to search through the sustainability reports of over 500 large European companies, of which he is a co-founder.

Professor Sellhorn also gives his expert opinion on the future of the EU Sustainable Finance regulatory framework and theEuropean Commission’s Omnibus simplification proposals, explaining the impact these proposals will have on the corporate reporting landscape and beyond, and how we can simplify without losing substance.
