In this episode of The Urbanista, we dive into the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) with sustainability expert Ella Tanskanen from Greenstep. Ella gives us an update about current CSRD topics: what CSRD means for companies, the importance of double materiality, mapping your value chain, and essential steps for CSRD compliance. Whether you're in a large corporation or a smaller business preparing for future requirements, this episode has insights to help you navigate CSRD effectively.

Topics Covered:

• CSRD Basics: What it is and who it impacts
• Double Materiality: Inside-out and outside-in perspectives
