In early January, we celebrated the first anniversary of the implementation of the EU CSRD directive, under which companies are obliged to submit reports on the non-financial aspects of their operations – sustainable development. This year, ESG reporting includes, among others, listed companies, banks, insurance companies, investment funds – entities of public trust, the largest entities employing over 500 employees. However, by 2025, reports will have to be presented by all large enterprises, and in subsequent years also small and medium-sized companies listed on the stock exchange. The business still has a moment to prepare for this, but implementing ESG is not worth leaving until the last minute. Why? ESG is a business requirement, and actions in this area require involvement from employees, business partners, customers, in short: practically everyone. The sooner a given entity focuses on ESG, the sooner it will gain an advantage over the competition. It’s best done with professional help. Experts knowledgeable about ESG reporting are already in high demand in the market, and in the coming years, they will become even more important. An ESG expert is a new profession in the job market, with prospects.
