This book has been developed as a structured, practical, and in-depth guide to help professionals understand and implement the key pillars of the European Union's evolving corporate sustainability framework. The book is divided into detailed sections aligned with the major EU instruments:
European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) - for understanding how to structure, assess, and communicate sustainability performance.
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) - for legal requirements related to reporting entities, formats, and timelines.
Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) - for corporate obligations across supply chains and risk management.
EU Taxonomy Regulation - for assessing economic activities' alignment with environmental objectives.
Each section contains article-by-article commentary, interpretation, and where applicable, guidance on implementation challenges and best practices.
The Future of Corporate Sustainability: EU Regulations and Compliance serves as a practical and analytical guide to these evolving standards. It is structured to help professionals not only interpret the legal texts, but also implement them meaningfully within their organizations. Each chapter provides detailed commentary on core regulatory obligations, supplemented with guidance on risk assessment, reporting architecture, materiality analysis, governance alignment, and sector-specific challenges.
This book is not just a legal commentary-it is a toolkit for those leading the sustainability transformation in their organizations. By reading it thoughtfully and applying its principles, you will be better equipped to align compliance, strategy, and impact in the European sustainability era.
