Webinars & Trainings

Climate-related risks can have a major impact on financial markets. The Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) covers this reference in the ESG context. Furthermore, the European Union’s new CSRD fundamentally expands and standardises European sustainability reporting. In this webinar, we will talk about the associated opportunities & risks.

Companies affected by the CSRD are well advised to deal with the requirements of the ESRS at an early stage, to design their data collection and reporting structures to be ESRS-compliant and to provide the human resources.

During the four-hour introductory training, which is conducted in cooperation with DQS and DFGE, we will provide you with basic knowledge about the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The target group includes all specialists and managers whose areas of responsibility are affected by the CSRD, but who do not themselves take an active role in sustainability reporting.

Companies affected by the CSRD are well advised to deal with the requirements of the ESRS at an early stage, to design their data collection and reporting structures to be ESRS-compliant and to provide the human resources.

The user training is aimed at all those who are actively involved in sustainability reporting. With a training duration of 16 hours, the user training provides a comprehensive and in-depth insight into ESRS and CSRD. In particular, the case studies help to make the requirements of ESRS more tangible. In addition, the user training goes into detail on selected challenges, such as the corporate carbon footprint, scenario analyses, transition plans and ESG opportunities and risks.

Our Basic Webinar includes the following key topics:

• Who and what is EcoVadis?
• Overview of the topics queried
• Overview of the assessment scale
• Insight into the methodology principles
• Interaction of EcoVadis with other sustainability systems
• Overview of our support options
• Questions and answers

In this webinar, we provide an outlook on the key levers on the road to Gold and Platinum. Using best practice examples, we will look at internal and external opportunities so that you can plan your roadmap in a targeted manner. We will also introduce you to the DFGE Institute and our experience through our partnership with EcoVadis. After the webinar, we will be happy to take time for your questions.

In this joint webinar with EcoVadis, we will show how the LkSG and its legal catalog of requirements can continue to be successfully implemented. Through your own assessment as well as the assessment of the supply chain, you will gain insights into the synergies with a rating such as EcoVadis. Furthermore, we look at the individual requirements, such as policy statements for human rights; risk analysis and management; grievance procedures; reporting obligations; taking remedial action in your own business unit as well as with direct suppliers.

Since the beginning of this year, the law has initially applied to companies with at least 3,000 employees, and from 2024 also to companies with at least 1,000 employees in Germany. From next year, therefore, many more companies and indirectly their supply chains will be affected.

In addition to our free EcoVadis webinars, which provide an overview, we have now developed a three-hour online workshop specifically for small and very small businesses. DFGE experts enable you to deep-dive into the EcoVadis methodology and provide a compact user knowledge of the EcoVadis rating indicators. This includes the basic guidelines, the documentation of implemented measures, as well as a valid reporting method. The session is complemented by practical examples.
