How to Collect and Report Material Information under the ESRS

Under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), companies must disclose not only what is material, but also demonstrate how information was collected, validated, and documented. This one-day course equips you with the practical tools to design a credible data-collection process and produce assurance-ready disclosures.
