Sustainability and ESG reporting for manufacturing companies

March 5 | 12:30 – 17:00 UTC+1

RICAIP is delighted to partner with the National Centre for Industry 4.0 (NCP4.0) together with Deloitte, Siemens, Česká spořitelna, and T-Mobile at the workshop devoted to sustainability and ESG reporting as this obligation will gradually apply to an increasing number of companies.

According to recent data based on the NCP 4.0 Analysis of Czech Industry and current Deloitte research on sustainability in manufacturing companies, top management is already asking a number of questions. From the relatively simple ones (Which department should the whole issue fall under?) to the more difficult ones (Where can we find the right people on the market?) to the complex ones (How should we collect data across the entire supply chain?).

Sooner or later, the company’s costs will include an ESG reporting line item. Companies may be thinking that this obligation does not directly affect them… However, it may affect their customers and clients. And by extension, also the companies themselves. So it’s important to prepare for the new rules early and get to grips with the whole ESG reporting issue now.

At the conference, the opinions of experts with experience from domestic and international projects will be presented followed by open discussion on the most pressing issues around this topic.
Following perspectives will be tackled:

  • legal,
  • tax,
  • reporting,
  • financing,
  • data management

–> leading to recommendations on how to use ESG to company’s advantage.
