In 2014, the non-financial reporting directive, the predecessor of the CSRD was launched. It became effective in 2017, and added to that there is a Paris Agreement since 2015. Current upcoming EU legislation really forces many organizations into action. On top of that economic challenges are faced due to the Ukrainian war and resulting effects on the energy market worldwide effecting each and every organization.
