The Impact Of The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) On Fundraising

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a legal framework that expands and improves the non-financial reporting requirements for companies in the European Union. CSRD requires companies to report on their governance, risks, and opportunities related to sustainability, including their social and environmental impact. This means that over 50,000 companies will now have to be more transparent about their impact on the environment and society. For non-profit organisations, this presents a significant opportunity to establish strategic partnerships with companies and secure substantial funding to help them achieve their goals with greater impact. The objective of this presentation is to discuss the new paradigm of corporate fundraising activities and explore the possibilities for non-profit organisations to position themselves as partners in implementing corporate ESG strategies.

• Corporate fundraisers should be familiar with ESG reporting, CSRD, and ESRS as keywords.
• They should develop strategies to approach corporate partners with proposals for working together towards ESG goals.

Who should attend:

• Managing Directors,
• Fundraisers,
