Notbably I included the EU&#8217;s Green Deal legistlation and the directional United Nations Sustainable Development goals ( SDGs) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second task was to look at what company&#8217;s CSRD compliant sustainability statements actually said and to check if these were (i) legally complaint to the reporting rules and (ii) if the content mean fully addresses the EU&#8217;s overall climate commitments in theIr interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next 2 weeks I am using this completed work to pull together a report on my finding , my perspective on this and my proposal on what needs to come next . To add interest and a demonstration of the relevance of this work , last week the reporting standard issuing body (EFRAGS) shared draft proposals that would change the reporting guidelines for CSRD sustainability statements for the business finanical year 2027 . This is with the stated overreaching goal to maintain the competitiveness of European Businesses in the global market, under the Omnibus legislation mechanism. I am working through their proposals and will assess them against the work I have completed to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have now completed and compiled two key pieces of work for my academic paper.
