The number of sustainability-related lawsuits has more than doubled over the past five years, with an upward trend since the successful climate lawsuit against Shell in 2021. The CSRD is expected to lead to even more extensive litigation. Mainly claims by environmental organizations.
Your company, too, may have to disclose information such as carbon emissions and the risk of child labor in its supply chains. This increased transparency could also make your company a target for potential claims, leading to potential reputational and financial losses. Although some companies are lobbying for a delay in the implementation of the CSRD, it is expected to pass because of strong political pressure.
So companies need to prepare. And we don't mean just preparing for the possibility of increasing green investments. On phasing out fossil fuel use. Or on possible preparation for payouts in the event of mass claims.
We mean preparing your strategic communications, reputation and risk management. Preparing your advocacy and influencing government and politicians, to ensure that the path to a more sustainable world is truly implementable and achievable for companies. Preparing to bring out campaigns and communications to show your target audience that you as a company are making progress on sustainability.
