Event Details

This event is organised by the Italian Chamber

To echo the Greenway 2024 and celebrate Europe Day, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macao, in collaboration with the German Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong and the European Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, is pleased to invite you to an insightful event titled 'Get ready for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive'.

Our esteemed speakers for this event will be Christoph Meyer, General Manager Hong Kong, South China & Macau, Lufthansa Group; Nick Stratton, Vice-President Sales, APAC, Sanlorenzo & Chief Sales Officer, Simpson Marine; and Walter van Hattum, Head of Trade and Economic Section, EU Office to Hong Kong and Macao. The discussion will be moderated by Beatrice Colombo, Relationship Manager, Intesa Sanpaolo – Hong Kong Branch.

This event will be an occasion to delve into the innovative Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Following the enactment of the EU's CSRD, all large companies are now required to disclose information on the way they measure and manage Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. The CSRD will not only apply to a greater number of EU companies than previous reporting rules, but will also bring a number of non-EU companies and their EU subsidiaries into scope.

The panel will discuss the impacts of the CSRD on non-EU companies and the concrete steps that companies are putting in place to integrate ESG into their corporate strategy and operations. Professionals from different industries will share examples of how they are integrating ESG into corporate strategy and operations, gathering ESG data, and evaluating ESG performance.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to network, learn, and gain valuable insights. Secure your spot now!
