Read MoreKERAMIDA’s Senior Sustainability Engineer, Nikki Peck, EIT, MEM, ENV SP, was honored to join a panel of industry experts earlier this month at the Reuters Events: Sustainability USA. The panel, titled “The Road to Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring the Business Meets Incoming Requirements,” provided actionable insights on how to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.
The discussion focused on how gap analyses can help identify areas for improvement in reporting processes, and how to allocate resources—people, technology, and investments—effectively to meet upcoming reporting regulations. Panelists also shared real-world examples of how companies are educating senior management on the global regulated reporting landscape and the value of taking a comprehensive, global approach.
Nikki and her fellow panelists emphasized the vital role of leadership support in securing the resources needed to meet these evolving requirements. As sustainability reporting has evolved from a focus on corporate social responsibility to today’s emphasis on liability and compliance, businesses must adapt to remain ahead of the curve.
The panel, which included Emma Beard, VP Global ESG Reporting & Sustainable Packaging at Mondelez International, and Jessica Thurston, VP ESG at Paramount, and was moderated by Steven Rothstein, MD of the Ceres Accelerator, highlighted the importance of staying ahead of both regulatory and voluntary disclosure requirements in an ever-shifting political landscape.
Compliance with regulations like CSRD, CSDDD, CBAM, and California's climate laws (SB 253/261) is a complex, long-term process that can't be tackled overnight. If there’s one key takeaway from the panel, it’s that starting early is essential! While the deadlines for compliance may not be immediate, the scope and depth of these regulations require businesses to begin preparing now.
