In the latest episode of The Ticker podcast, we navigate the intricate landscape of corporate reporting, with a spotlight on ESG and the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). 


IR Magazine reporter Noemi Distefano is joined by Giulia Scanferla, senior ESG reporting manager at British American Tobacco (BAT), to address some of the fundamental questions about CSRD. They explore the differences between CSRD and other sustainability frameworks, examine its integration for companies already adopting voluntary ESG standards and delve into BAT’s experience in double-materiality assessment. 

Later in the episode, IR Magazine deputy editor Garnet Roach speaks with Shell’s sustainability manager Alex Annaev, creator of the AI-powered CSRD Chat tool. Annaev talks about the motivation driving the creation of this innovative chatbot, which aims to make it simple for companies to understand their responsibilities around CSRD, and explains the challenges he faced in developing the chatbot. 


In this episode, you will hear:

•How CSRD differs from other sustainability frameworks

•Advice on how your company can successfully navigate its double-materiality assessment journey 

•What data you need to report under CSRD 

•What the CSRD Chat tool is and how it can help make your reporting practices more efficient.
