Webinar: The impact of the new Omnibus scheme on your company

On Thursday 26 June we will be organising the webinar 'The impact of the new Omnibus regulation on your company'. The new European Omnibus legislation bundles regulations such as the CSRD, the EU Taxonomy and the CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive), with the aim of reducing the reporting pressure and creating more space for actual sustainability. An accessible solution is coming for SMEs: the VSME standard. This simplified guideline helps SMEs to voluntarily and practically share their sustainability information.

Annette Houwaart

European legislation is changing rapidly. Annette Houwaart’s presentation provides a clear overview of the new Omnibus regulation – a combination of CSRD, CSDDD and the Taxonomy Regulation – and what this means for companies of different sizes. We will discuss the current status of Dutch legislation, the role of MKB-Nederland and the expected consequences, in particular for the CSRD. We will also discuss the emergence of VSME (European standard for sustainability reporting for SMEs and Micro-enterprises) and how you, as an FHI member, can provide input for the lobbying process of MKB-Nederland.
