Tax leaders today must manage the impact and identify the opportunities brought by ESG-related tax policymaking, while contributing to their companies’ sustainability transformation. At the ESG Forum, tax directors and managers meet on a regular basis to exchange on their approach, challenges, best practices, and achievements. Recently, we tackled such topics as varied as #CSRD and tax reporting, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, green tax #incentives and regulations, tax risk management, Pillar 2, carbon taxes, and more. Interested in taking part and sharing with other tax professionals on #sustainability matters? Then please reach out and join us! #ESG #CBAM #CBCR #ResponsibleTax #TaxTransparency #ESGTax #PublicCBCR #GRI207

Many companies no longer utter these three letters: E-S-G. Some, including Coca-Cola, are rebranding corporate reports and committees, stripping ESG from titles. Advisers are coaching executives on alternative ways to describe their efforts, proposing new terms like “responsible business.” On Wall Street, meanwhile, some firms are closing once-popular ESG funds as interest fades. Here’s why: https://on.wsj.com/3vqOwOu

Business and human rights - interesting times with gradual shift from soft law to hard law! 🧐 #CSRD & #CS3D accompanied by separate pieces of EU and national regulation bring numerous new topics on the corporate sustainability (compliance) agenda and nudge to create new forms of cross-organisational cooperation. I am more than delighted to contribute to this breakfast event by Hannes Snellman and share our views and experiences at Outokumpu on how to tackle all this - looking forward to interesting and insightful discussions over a cup of coffee! ☕️ #humanrights #duediligence #sustainability #networking

“Many companies no longer utter these three letters: E-S-G. Following years of simmering investor backlash, political pressure and legal threats over environmental, social and governance efforts, a number of business leaders are now making a conscious effort to avoid the once widely used acronym for such initiatives. On earnings calls, many chief executives now employ new approaches. Some companies, including Coca-Cola, are rebranding corporate reports and committees, stripping ESG from titles. Advisers are coaching executives on alternative ways to describe their efforts, proposing new terms like “responsible business.” On Wall Street, meanwhile, some firms are closing once-popular ESG funds as interest fades. The shift in messaging reflects a reality: “ESG is complicated,” said Daryl Brewster, a former Kraft Foods and Nabisco executive who now heads Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose, a nonprofit of more than 200 companies focused on social impact. The movement to bake accountability into business decisions stretches back centuries; the term ESG gained momentum after the United Nations used it about 20 years ago. Over time, the effort became divisive—derided by some state officials as “woke capitalism,” and criticized by others for putting too much focus on measurement and disclosure requirements. Many CEOs stress that they continue to follow sustainability commitments made years ago—even if they are no longer talking about them as often publicly. A December survey by the advisory firm Teneo found that about 8% of CEOs are ramping down their ESG programs; the rest are staying the course but often making changes to how they handle them.”
