Corporate Assessment & Reporting

AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM), a prominent player in the investment management sector, is gearing up for the 2024 voting season with significant updates to its corporate governance and voting policy.

In the realm of sustainability, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are currently at the forefront of discussions among professionals. These new mandates require EU-based companies to adopt comprehensive reporting protocols, adhering to the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group's (EFRAG) stringent guidelines. This shift has propelled the need for robust solutions to achieve compliance seamlessly.

In today's competitive business landscape, sustainability is not just a buzzword but a critical component of corporate strategy. Crafting a sustainability report that not only meets compliance but also captivates and informs is crucial.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has become an important topic across business. It has become an increased priority, not only to meet customer demands, but also an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Regulators around the world are expanding the legal frameworks around ESG. The EU’s European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) is probably the ESG regulation at the top of the priority list for many, but there are several others on the horizon.

The spotlight falls on the deluge of new ESG regulations across the EU and worldwide in the latest episode of the Sustainable Edge podcast. Hosted by Joachim Nahem, Executive Chairman of Position Green, the series welcomes along Hugo-A. B. Munthe-Kaas, head of DLA Piper Norway's compliance and risk management group, for some engaging dialogue, exploring the complexities of compliance across diverse jurisdictions for multinational corporations.

In an era where corporate sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, it is crucial to secure top-level buy-in from executives and directors. This pivotal step ensures that sustainability is not just a fleeting topic, but a permanent fixture in corporate agendas. Understanding the significance of this, a comprehensive guide has been developed to assist sustainability professionals in navigating this challenge.

The United States currently operates as a voluntary reporting market in terms of sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG), despite this, the significance of materiality assessments cannot be overstated as companies look to identify and prioritise ESG issues.
