CSR AND EU ESG DIRECTIVES, CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY EXPANDS

On January 1, 2023, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, Directive (EU) 2022/2464, came into force, amending the previous non-financial reporting regime.

In practical terms, the EU legislature directs companies to take measures in order to achieve the following objectives: redirecting capital flows towards ESG investments for a sustainable and inclusive growth; managing financial risks derived from climate change, resource depletion, environmental degradation and social issues; and promoting transparency and long-term vision in economic and financial activities.
