Why turn to JŠK for help with ESG and non-financial reporting?

ESG, sustainable finance and non-financial reporting  

‍Do you want to be sure that you are meeting ll your obligations under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)or get help in this regard? Ae you getting ready to draft sustainabilityreports according to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)? Perhapsyou are adding internal regulations that will improve your ESG profile? Or areyou looking to invest in improving the sustainability of your business and arecurious about financing through green bonds or preferential bank loans? Or maybeyou have assumed that ESG reporting does not apply to you, but your businesspartner requires you to deliver relevant inputs?

European regulation in the area of ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) is a broad new discipline in which JŠK can take advantage of its 19 years of experience with European regulation of financial services, corporate consulting and financing. In addition to our direct experience with the issue of ESG regulation, we also have extensive experience in other areas related to sustainability, from environmental law and renewable energy to human rights and anti-corruption measures.

At the same time, we are well aware that ESG is not only about legal regulation, but also requires technical knowledge and expertise in the field of the environment. That is why we work closely with EnviTrail, an environmental consulting company specialising in carbon footprint audits. Together, we can cover not only legal and regulatory obligations, but also ensure the technical side of things and perhaps even help with the implementation of decarbonization solutions. Because our common goal is not only to fulfil legal obligations, but to bring real improvements to the environment and society.
