In this episode

With a spotlight on the tsunami of new ESG regulations in the EU and beyond, Joachim and Hugo discuss the challenge of compliance across multiple jurisdictions for global companies, the growing focus on supply chain due diligence, and the EU’s role in setting a global standard. Do we need single jurisdiction laws in Europe given the potential for overarching global standards? And is ESG reporting at risk of becoming a box-ticking exercise with no real-world impact? Get unique insights into the path ahead for sustainable business.
