19. Feb 2025

While the CSRD was already the focus of many companies last year, the EU taxonomy was often put on the back burner.

In our free webinar, Wolfgang Berger and Katharina Vogel offer you a practical guide to implementing the EU taxonomy and integrating it into your CSRD strategy – efficiently instead of incidentally!

What can you expect from the webinar?

Clear orientation: We clarify which requirements of the EU taxonomy are actually relevant for your company.
CSRD readiness: How to efficiently integrate the taxonomy into your CSRD project without losing track.
Smart roadmap: How our tool breaks down the complex requirements of the EU taxonomy and translates them into understandable action steps
Efficient process: How you can focus on the essentials during the process thanks to “instant feedback” directly in the tool.
