Food Emissions 50 Benchmark: Transition Planning for a 1.5°C Future
April 27, 2023, 11am ET
Virtual
Nearly two years into the Food Emissions 50 initiative, over half of the 50 focus companies have set targets to reduce their GHG emissions, with many committing to set targets aligned with a 1.5-degree future. To achieve these targets, companies will need to develop and implement robust climate transition plans to ensure a business-wide transition to a lower emission and more resilient food economy. Explore Ceres’ new Food Emissions 50 company benchmark indicators on how companies performed. Ceres assessed key elements food companies should include in their climate transition plans to keep them on track to achieving their public commitments. |
Who, What, When for Non-EU Companies: The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
May 10, 2023, 12pm ET
Virtual
Wondering what impact new EU sustainability regulations will have on your company? Earlier this year, the European Union finalized its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), increasing the number of reporting companies from 11,000 to over 50,000. Companies need to prepare now, including U.S. companies with a presence in the EU. Reporting requirements are set to phase in over the next several years, and the required disclosures will include all activities that have a material impact on people and the environment, including climate targets, transition plans, greenhouse emissions, and human rights. To help you get ready, join Ceres, We Mean Business Coalition, World Business
Council for Sustainable Development, BSR, C2ES, and The B Team for a discussion of how the new EU law requires companies to disclose their risks and opportunities related to sustainability factors through the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. |
