The 2023 EFRAG Conference, titled „European corporate reporting: two pillars for success“, is scheduled for 28 November 2023, in Brussels. This conference is a collaborative effort between EFRAG, the European Commission, and will feature the European Commissioner for Financial Stability, Financial Services, and the Capital Markets Union, Mairead McGuinness. The event will run from 9:00 to 17:15 CET.
The primary focus of the conference is the evolution of corporate reporting, aiming to establish a two-pillar structure that places sustainability reporting on par with financial reporting. This transition is deemed critical and challenging. Distinguished speakers and panelists will offer insights into achievements and forthcoming challenges in sustainability reporting. They will also engage in discussions concerning new developments in financial reporting and explore ways to bridge the gap between these two domains in the ever-evolving landscape of corporate reporting.
Key topics of discussion include the current status of sustainability reporting and financial reporting, progress in implementing support for ESRS, and standards for SMEs. Additionally, the conference will delve into the potential benefits of digital reporting from the outset and strategies for fostering connectivity within this dynamic corporate reporting environment.
Interested participants can register for the event, with options for in-person attendance at The Hotel in Brussels or virtual participation. Please note that in-person registration is subject to confirmation.
