Description:
The European Union stands at a decisive moment in its transformation toward a climate-neutral, socially just, and competitive economy. The Green Deal is not only a vision for a sustainable Europe by 2050, but also a profound redefinition of how economic success is measured, reported, and governed. Within this framework, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) form the backbone of a new era of corporate transparency and accountability.
This book, The EU Green Deal in Practice: Corporate Reporting & Due Diligence, offers an indispensable guide to understanding and implementing these transformative frameworks. It bridges the gap between regulatory intent and corporate reality, showing how organizations can translate complex legal obligations into integrated, actionable sustainability strategies.
The author, Mark Bernerberg, draws on decades of experience in law, finance, and ESG advisory to clarify the evolving architecture of European sustainability governance. His systematic exposition of double materiality, due diligence, and cross-standard alignment with ESRS, EU Taxonomy, TCFD, and IFRS S1/S2 makes this work a practical compass for compliance officers, sustainability leaders, auditors, and policymakers alike.
More than a technical manual, this volume invites readers to consider the deeper purpose behind the regulations: to restore trust in markets, to embed sustainability into corporate DNA, and to empower enterprises to create long-term value for both shareholders and society. By connecting sustainability performance to strategic decision-making, it demonstrates that responsible business is not an ethical add-on - it is the foundation of resilience and innovation in the European economy.
As the EU enters the implementation decade of the Green Deal, this book provides clarity where complexity often prevails. It enables companies to navigate the demanding yet rewarding path of sustainable transformation with insight, precision, and integrity.
May it serve as both a roadmap and an inspiration for all who contribute to building a transparent, inclusive, and sustainable Europe.
