How honest should you be? How to navigate the gaps between voluntary and mandatory reporting

11:15 - 12:00

The rise of mandatory reporting frameworks, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), has contrasted with existing voluntary disclosure frameworks such as CDP or GRI. Companies must now grapple with how to balance transparency, reputation, and compliance. This session explores how businesses can navigate these gaps while building credibility and trust.

Should businesses go beyond minimum compliance to align voluntary and mandatory reporting, or does this create unnecessary risk?
With voluntary disclosures - how much do you disclose more than you have to?
How companies can handle incomplete or uncertain data when reporting on scope 3 and other complex metrics
What are the potential reputational and financial consequences of either under-reporting or over-disclosing sensitive sustainability information?
