Is your business prepared for the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)? As the January 2025 deadline approaches, organisations across Europe are scrambling to understand and comply with these new comprehensive sustainability reporting requirements. Enter Anthesis’ CSRD Essentials – a free, interactive online course designed to demystify the CSRD and equip your business with the knowledge needed to navigate this complex landscape.

In January 2024, the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into effect. This requires large businesses across the 27 EU member states and European Economic Area countries to submit comprehensive sustainability reports, starting in January 2025. To support businesses in this transition – Anthesis, the world’s largest pure-play sustainability firm, has launched CSRD Essentials, a free online course to help organisations understand and prepare for the new Directive.

The sixty-minute interactive course encompasses the latest legislative updates and thought leadership on all things CSRD, aimed at organisations of all sizes who are preparing to comply with the CSRD, or those who are interested in learning more about how to integrate sustainable practices. Sign up for your free CSRD Essentials course here: Anthesis Activator Academy.

Through engaging content, videos, and interactive quizzes the course:
● Explains the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
● Describes where the CSRD sits amongst the evolving landscape of sustainability reporting requirements.
● Determines whether your organisation is likely to need to comply with the CSRD and if so, by when and how.
● Reflects on how the CSRD can be used to accelerate business transformation.

The CSRD Essentials course is part of Anthesis’ Activator Academy, a new comprehensive eLearning platform that supports businesses in understanding and implementing effective sustainability strategies. The courses offer valuable insights and actionable steps to navigate key sustainability topics, including ESG, climate change, and Net Zero.
