In this masterclass session, we aim to challenge your insights and provide an exciting program with a strong focus on the E, specifically on biodiversity. This session is designed to help you navigate the challenges of new E-related standards and the opportunities they create for your organisation. Especially expert insights on biodiversity should assist you in getting started with the work of identifying, tracking, and reporting on biodiversity matters.

Through different perspectives, you will have the opportunity to apply your insights to practical E-standards and regulation related to biodiversity and optimising your approach to sustainability. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to get a head start on reporting on biodiversity.

The learning objectives for this session are:

• General introduction to regulatory changes concerning the E, how they impact you and your organisation.
• Detailed introduction to reporting standards and regulation concerning biodiversity.
• Processes on how to identify relevant risks and opportunities concerning biodiversity.
• How to put biodiversity in context with the other objectives of the E.
• Methods and tools to get started on identifying, tracking, and reporting on biodiversity.

This masterclass session will be facilitated in a workshop format with inspirational talks from our ESG experts, alongside a practical case presentation and an interactive activity during the session, including plenary discussions and breakout sessions.

To ensure an inclusive culture for everyone, this masterclass will be facilitated in English.
