How to leverage sustainability in CX and EX?

Arttu Kähönen, Director Customer Excellence I Lindström

​

How to Get Ahead with ESG Reporting

Riccardo Nykopp, Regional Sales Director | Workiva​

Dickson Alfred, Solution Engineer I Workiva

​

New mandates and mounting regulatory and investor pressures are placing integrated reporting processes under increasing scrutiny. But this shouldn’t necessarily lead to a crisis of confidence: organisations can still successfully mitigate risk, maintain data integrity and clearly communicate corporate value. All they need to do is find their ideal reporting process. 

Join Workiva when we will discuss what “ideal” could look like. We will highlight real-life use cases that will cover the growing need for greater process integration and show you how a streamlined ESG reporting process can bring tangible benefits to your organisation.

​

You will learn:

  • Market trends and insights from Nordic finance and ESG professionals about the current state of corporate reporting, process transformation, data integrity and controls.

  • Workiva’s perspective on how organisations like yours are working to achieve efficiency and produce trusted corporate value stories.

  • How the Workiva platform helps improve your ESG reporting process and drive measurable growth (demo)

How to speed up your net-zero transition

Staffan Ekholm, CEO | Another Tomorrow​

Lisa Stenvinkel, Head of Sustainable Impact I Another Tomorrow

 

With a steep rise of net-zero commitments across sectors - why are we not seeing a greater decrease in emissions? Climate commitments haven't so far translated into corporate action at the pace needed to curb further global warming, which is why Another Tomorrow teamed up with leading climate researchers to crack the nut of corporate climate inertia and how to accelerate progress. The result? A new tool for diagnosing the underlying causes of inaction and identifying key areas where targeted action can unlock substantial results and progress towards net-zero transition.

​

Join us in this deep-dive to get an exclusive sneak-peak of this new tool for climate impact ahead of its official launch and learn how it can be used to speed up the net-zero transition of your organisation.

Streamline your EU Taxonomy reporting work today to simplify the process in the coming years!

Katrine Hoset, Senior Sustainability Consultant, Ecobio Oy​

​

The EU Taxonomy currently impacts large public interest companies, but the scope will change when the CSRD comes into force. This means that companies that have not been required to report non-financial information, will need to do so - including establishing due diligence processes for human rights.

 

Join this discussion to receive ideas for starting or improving your Taxonomy work process and approaching best practices for EU taxonomy reporting.

In the deep dive, we will look into, what processes are sustainable (labour and cost) in the long-term and what would you need to minimise the added workload from reporting on EU Taxonomy today and in the future?
