Hosted with Work and Opportunities for Women (WOW), a programme of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)
The FCDO’s Work and Opportunities for Women Programme explores how companies can report on women’s economic empowerment activities within the landscape of current and emerging EU sustainability reporting regulations. A panel of experts share insights from WOW’s recent analysis on how gender-focused activities can be reported in line with regulations such as CSRD, CSDDD, SFRD and EUDR. In breakout groups, attendees were able to discuss their experience of these regulations, and the challenges they have faced from a gender-reporting perspective.
