AFM Highlights Impact of CSRD on Sustainability Reporting & Investor Transparency
As we move into the 2024 financial year, big changes are on the horizon for large publicly listed companies. Thanks to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), companies with over 500 employees are now required to significantly enhance how they report sustainability information. These changes, highlighted in the latest AFM (Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets) Market Watch report, will not only impact annual corporate reports but also extend to prospectuses and press releases, providing investors with clearer, more detailed insights into a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts.
