In this second session for the "Greener Together: China-Nordic Dialogue on Carbon Neutrality" webinar series, our speakers will introduce what ESG reporting entails.

It will look at what impacts the EU regulations on reporting will have on your China operations and it will outline the steps that need to be taken to prepare for these changes as well as the impact on Chinese/Nordic companies.

Reporting on non-financial items, known as ESG reporting (Environment, Social and Governance) is becoming increasingly important both in the Nordics and in China. Even though it is still only mandatory for large companies in Europe to make comprehensive ESG reports, regulations such as the EU Supply Chain Act increases the need also for smaller companies to understand the concept of ESG reporting. If approached right, ESG reporting can be a powerful tool for companies to manage risks and get market benefits.

在"共创绿色:中国-北欧碳中和对话"系列网络研讨会第二期，我们的嘉宾将分析ESG报告的含义。

研讨会将讨论欧盟报告法规对您的中国业务的影响，并概述为应对这些变化所需采取的步骤，以及对中国/北欧公司的影响。

环境、社会和治理报告，即ESG报告，这个关于非金融项目的报告，在北欧和中国都变得越来越重要。尽管目前欧洲只对大公司要求全面的ESG报告，但《欧盟供应链法》等法规也指出了小公司理解ESG报告概念的必要性。如果处理得当，ESG报告可以成为公司管理风险和获得市场收益的有力工具。
