Improve your Business’ Approach to Reporting on Social Standards & Due Diligence in New Atelier Series
In 2024 CSR Europe is back with two new Atelier series on Due Diligence and Reporting on Social Performance exclusively available for its Corporate Members.
Discover actionable insights, collaborative strategies, and essential tools to propel your company into a new era of impactful and responsible business practices.
In 2024 CSR Europe is back with an enriched program for its Corporate Members, which includes two new Atelier series: “Reporting on Social Performance” and “Due Diligence in Action”.
Over the course of 4 sessions, each series will equip CSR Europe’s Corporate Members with best practices and tools for crafting tailored improvement plans for social performance reporting and going beyond due diligence compliance.
The eight events will mix online and offline formats to maximise best practice sharing, networking, shared problem-solving, and collaboration.
REPORTING ON SOCIAL PERFORMANCE
New regulations, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), are ushering in an era where companies must provide comprehensive ESG performance reports. With the first reports due in 2025 for the 2024 financial year, efficient implementation of ESRS requirements is essential to seize sustainability reporting opportunities and enhance strategic management.
While environmental reporting is robust, measuring social issues lacks mature tools.
In 2024, CSR Europe's Reporting on Social Performance Atelier series will bring together companies, experts, and policymakers to delve into current challenges, approaches, and practices for more impactful policies, actions and meaningful engagement with affected stakeholders groups.

DUE DILIGENCE IN ACTION
In response to the evolving landscape of due diligence legislative requirements, companies are actively allocating resources and mobilizing their sustainability teams. But how can these resources be leveraged beyond mere compliance, transforming what could easily become a box-ticking exercise into a tangible catalyst for real and meaningful impact?
CSR Europe's “Due Diligence in Action” Atelier Series endeavors to unfold the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D), exploring individual actions companies can take as well as the role of multi-stakeholder and collaborative initiatives in defining and implementing the legislation.
SESSION #1: ONLINE ATELIER | The CS3D: the EU Framework for Sustainability Due Diligence on 7th March 2024
The session will present the final text of the CS3D: its scope, requirements, and impact, and how it compares to national legislations. Special attention will be given to the role of multi-stakeholder initiative in defining the obligations.
SESSION #2: IN-PERSON ATELIER | How to Identify Due Diligence Risks & Adverse Impacts on 23rd April 2024
This in-person session will focus on effective risk assessment practices within the due diligence process. How to set it up at the individual level and how to work with peers and stakeholders to further enhance it?
SESSION #3: ONLINE ATELIER | Building Business Resilience: Grievance Prevention & Remediation on 11th June
The session will address key questions such as cost distribution for prevention and remediation and shared responsibilities across the value chain. Moreover, it will explore the implementation of remediation plans through case studies, the contribution of grievance management to prevention and remediation, and the role of collaborative initiatives.
SESSION #4: IN-PERSON ATELIER | Monitoring & Reporting Due Diligence Practices on 16th October 2024
The last session of this Atelier series will focus on monitoring and reporting. The European directive requires companies to set up relevant KPIs in order to check the effectiveness of their Due Diligence processes. In fact, companies need to be aware of whether their due diligence processes are working or not, and they also need to report meaningful information and data on their due diligence system to external investors and stakeholders.
