EMEA Recruitment’s Post

As new disclosure requirements emerge in the US and globally, companies are reassessing their methods for managing ESG information, often finding that existing governance structures, processes, controls, and technologies are now inadequate. To meet the increasing demands for accurate reporting, over half of Fortune 100 companies now employ ESG controllers. This role integrates finance and accounting rigor with ESG regulatory expertise, which has become essential for effective reporting. In AuditBoard, Claire Feeney cites Nico M.'s GreenBiz Group article which quotes Ellen Weinreb. We have found that one benefit of hiring internally for the ESG controller role is that they'll navgate internal systems and know who to talk to in order to be successful. We are proud to now be placing ESG controllers at a growing number of multinational companies.

📢 🌱 Important update regarding the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.   It has been announced that banks’ investment and lending activities are to be temporarily excluded from the scope of the Directive. 💶   The final compromise text of the CSDDD published on March 15, 2024, confirms that only the upstream business of regulated financial undertakings would be covered.   The inclusion of the downstream business will be considered based on the EC’s report that should be tabled to the EP and the Council no later than two years after the date of entry into force of the Directive.   The CSDDD is meant to complement the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and requires large companies (defined by their turnover and the number of employees hired) to assess both actual and potential adverse impacts on human rights and the environment concerning: 👉 their own operations,  👉 the operations of their subsidiaries, and  👉 the operations carried out by their business partners in companies’ chains of activities.
