You’re In Scope Because They’re In Scope – CSRD and the Value Chain

Chartered Accountants Ireland is partnering with Climate Finance Week Ireland to deliver a webinar on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and its implications for SMEs in value chains.

With effect from financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2024, companies in Ireland will begin reporting under the CSRD (and as a result, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards ‘ESRS’). Drawing on our speaker’s expert knowledge, the webinar will first describe the CSRD and the ESRS. 

This will be followed by a panel discussion, on how the financial services sector is transforming its own environment, social and governance profile, and the impact this will have on customers along the value chain. Building on the concept “you’re in scope because they’re in scope”, the speakers will discuss ways for SMEs to prepare for the potential impact of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.

Speakers:

• Dee Moran - Professional Accountancy Lead, Chartered Accountants Ireland
• David Connolly - Senior Manager, EY Climate Change and Sustainability Services
• Donna Wilson - Head of ESG Transformation, AIB
• (Host) Susan Rossney – Sustainability Officer, Chartered Accountants Ireland
