Seminar Overview:

With the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) now in effect in Sweden, companies are beginning to prepare their first sustainability reports in alignment with the latest European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The directive demands increased transparency, particularly regarding the supply chain, and poses a unique challenge for businesses to demonstrate their sustainability efforts.

While many SMEs are currently exempt from mandatory reporting, larger companies will increasingly require input from their suppliers to meet CSRD standards. Being CSRD-ready is already proving to be a key competitive advantage in business development and sales.

Why Attend?

Since 2008, Scandic Sourcing has been providing supplier Code of Conduct assessments and sustainability audits for Swedish companies with sub-suppliers in China and Asia. Through a well-structured audit program, we’ve helped companies achieve measurable improvements in their supply chain—one of the most challenging aspects of CSRD compliance.

Scandic Sourcing offers support to SME's to develop a sustainability report according to the CSRD Voluntary Standard for SME's (VSME). With such a report SME's can provide hard data and transparency to their larger clients, minimize time spent on responding to data requests and lay a foundation for further sustainability reporting work. This seminar gives a short overview of the requirements and a suggested how SME can start to take steps in the right direction.

Key Speaker:

Join Per Linden, founder and CEO of Scandic Sourcing, as he shares his insights and recommendations for SMEs embarking on their sustainability reporting journey. With over two decades of experience in senior management roles at Sandvik Group where he participated in the roll out of "The Power of Sandvik" and a degree from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Per brings a wealth of knowledge in supply chain sustainability and practical approaches to CSRD readiness.

The seminar will be held at the exhibitors stage at 11.30 on Novemebr 12.
