Join us and our expert speakers on Thursday, 29 August, to digest the upcoming sustainability regulations in bitesize pieces.
Wrapping your head around these new regulations and the associated acronyms and jargon isn't easy. It can be difficult to understand what applies to you and your business and where to begin your sustainability journey.
This webinar will focus on the tax touchpoints in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and why it is important to start decarbonising your business even if it is not in scope. Our expert speakers are:
Aidan Lucey, Tax Risk & Controversy Partner and Global Tax CSRD Leader, PwC
Mary Teehan, Sustainability Consultant, MT Consultancy
Eamonn Sheils, Programme Manager - Commercial Retrofit, SEAI
This 1-hour CPD accredited webinar will be chaired by Shane Coleman, Newstalk. See the full programme here.
In the coming months, the first group of businesses in scope under the CSRD will report on their climate and environmental data. Reporting under the CSRD encompasses a wide range of areas including environment, social matters and governance. These new regulations may not yet apply to your business, but you may be part of the value chain of a company that is in scope. That means you may be asked to provide information for the sustainability reports of some of your clients.
This webinar is the first of our new Sustainability and Tax series, a series that aims to break down the new regulations and help you digest them bit by bit as you progress on your journey to sustainability.
To learn more from our expert panel of speakers, join us online on Thursday, 29 August. The joining details for this complimentary webinar (via Zoom) will be emailed the day before the webinar.
