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.

Now, Scandic Sourcing extends this expertise to SMEs, offering strategic advice and hands-on support for building a robust sustainability framework.
