Unlocking ESG Disclosure: Preparing for the ESG Reporting And Beyond

Are You Ready for the ESG Transformation?

As the Global focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) intensifies, companies are now facing an explosion of regulations that require greater transparency and accountability. In Europe we have seen the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) come to the fore in 2024 and it looks set to reshape the landscape for companies operating in or interacting with the European Union (EU)—and its reach extends far beyond.

In the MENA region we are seeing the mobilisation of working groups with the objective of defining local taxonomies, alignment with ISSB and discussions relating to central data utilities designed to ease the client burden and improve data quality and accuracy.

Join our exclusive webinar and understand the latest activities in the ESG disclosure space, learn about the ESRS and ISSB and understand what banks in the region are looking for and how they are preparing their business for compliance, whilst we demonstrate how Alteryx can support you with best practices and a cutting-edge regulation focused ESG reporting solution.
