In the first episode of Season Six, Bárbara Mendes-Jorge interviews Paula Byrne (Program Director at the Governance & Sustainability Center) and Manali Paranjpe (Program Director at the Governance & Sustainability Center, Europe) on the key areas they are focusing on this year and how the Governance & Sustainability Center supports The Conference Board members on their sustainability journeys. We discuss how companies need to urgently familiarise themselves with the EU's CSRD legislation - which is already transforming sustainability reporting - why human rights, biodiversity and circular economy are three of the main topics the Governance & Sustainability Center is focused on this year and, continuing on from discussions had last season, why it is so important for companies to avoid greenwashing.
