Employers hiring non-EU workers in Europe must navigate various visa categories, work permits, and employer responsibilities. Immigration rules vary, and understanding specific country requirements is key to compliance. 🇦🇹 In Austria, EU/EEA nationals have unrestricted labor market access. Non-EU workers must apply for a work permit, such as the EU Blue Card for highly qualified professionals, the Red-White-Red Card for skilled workers, or individual permits tied to a single employer. Short-term and seasonal work, especially in agriculture and tourism, requires specific authorizations. 🇳🇱 The Netherlands follows EU employment regulations, with Dutch and EU/EEA nationals able to work freely. Non-EU nationals must obtain a work and residence permit, and companies registered as Recognized Sponsors with immigration authorities have more flexibility in hiring foreign talent. Recent graduates under the orientation year permit can work freely for 12 months before requiring a new visa. Special permits exist for working holidays and international students, with employment limited to 16 hours per week (September-May) or full-time in summer. 🇨🇭Switzerland’s work permit system for non-EU workers requires employers to prove no local or EU candidate could fill the role. The process includes a labor market test and permits vary based on job type and stay duration. 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 Germany and Austria also enforce strict employment laws for non-EU workers. Skilled professionals and IT specialists can apply for permits like the EU Blue Card or national work visas, but employers must demonstrate compliance with national labor laws. 🇪🇺 As European authorities tighten labor market controls, companies must ensure full compliance before hiring foreign employees. Understanding permit types, residence rules, and employer obligations is crucial for successful workforce management. Are you looking to hire foreign workers in Europe?

Non-EU workers must obtain a visa and work permit, following a quota system set by the government. Employers are responsible for verifying compliance with immigration regulations. Refugees and asylum seekers can work if they hold a valid residence permit. 🇨🇭 Switzerland grants EU/EEA nationals unrestricted employment access.

The secondment (distacco) in Italy allows companies to temporarily assign employees to another company while maintaining the original employment relationship. This arrangement offers flexibility but comes with specific legal and administrative requirements that employers must follow. Key aspects of secondment in Italy: - Duration: The maximum period is 12 months, extendable up to 18 months. - Employee consent: The worker must agree to the secondment. - Notification requirement: The seconding company must notify the Ministry of Labor at least 24 hours before the secondment begins. - Employment documents: Employers must keep contracts, pay slips, and social security certificates readily available. - Equal working conditions: Seconded employees must receive the same working hours, holidays, and health and safety protections as local employees. - Local representation: The seconding company must appoint a contact person in Italy for official communications and documentation. Additional rules for EU companies: For EU-based businesses seconding employees to Italy, additional regulations apply to ensure equal working conditions. Authorities have also increased inspections to prevent potential misuse and ensure compliance with labor laws. Secondment can be a valuable tool for businesses expanding into Italy, but compliance with legal obligations is essential. Need expert guidance on managing secondments?

Simplify your EU VAT compliance with the One-Stop Shop (OSS) Managing VAT across multiple EU countries can be challenging, but the One-Stop Shop (OSS) is here to make it easier for B2C businesses. By using OSS, you can fulfill your VAT obligations for sales within the EU without the need to register in every member state. However, navigating VAT rates can be tricky. Are you sure you’re applying the correct rates and maximizing your margins? Here are some examples to consider: 🇩🇪In Germany, fruits are taxed at 7%, but fruit juice isn’t. Potatoes qualify for 7%, but sweet potatoes don’t. 🇪🇸In Spain, sugar-added beverages incur a 21% VAT rate, while non-sugar-added drinks are taxed at just 10%. 🇦🇹 In Austria, pharmaceuticals are taxed at a reduced 10%, but medical devices face a 20% rate. The little details make the biggest difference, and the OSS can help simplify the process. Combined with expert advice, you can ensure compliance while uncovering opportunities to optimize your VAT strategy. Optimize your VAT compliance and unlock new opportunities.

Digital nomads leverage technology to work remotely, often traveling and enjoying significant geographical freedom. Focused on results rather than strict schedules, they rely on a laptop and Internet connection to perform. Depending on nationality, they may require work visas and must comply with local tax and legal regulations. 🇪🇸 Spain: Non-EU nationals can apply for international remote-working residence permits, which allow them to work for companies outside Spain. These companies must register locally to handle salary-related withholding taxes and run shadow payrolls. Social security obligations are managed in the country where the employment was initially established. 🇫🇷 France: While there is no specific digital nomad visa, professional visas tied to a French-based company may apply. However, these visas often involve lengthy processes, making them less suitable for the nomadic lifestyle. Digital nomads must also navigate tax, labor, and legal obligations when working in France. 🇧🇪 Belgium: The absence of specific legislation creates uncertainty around tax and social security compliance for digital nomads. Businesses and individuals must carefully evaluate their obligations to avoid issues, as the lack of established guidelines leaves many aspects open to interpretation. 🇨🇭 Switzerland: EU/EEA citizens can work as digital nomads for up to three months without restrictions, leveraging freedom of movement agreements. Non-EU citizens face stricter requirements, needing a work permit to legally work or reside in Switzerland. 🇩🇪 Germany: Non-EU citizens must secure a work permit to operate as digital nomads, while EU/EEA citizens can work without restrictions. Digital nomads must address tax and social security obligations, especially if they spend extended periods in the country. 🇮🇹 Italy: Italy offers a dedicated visa for digital nomads and remote workers, aimed at highly qualified professionals working with technological tools. Both self-employed and employed individuals must comply with Italian tax laws, including social security contributions. While the visa supports nomads, careful planning is needed to manage these obligations.

Unemployment benefits across Europe: What you need to know Losing a job can be a stressful and uncertain time, but unemployment benefits offer financial support while individuals seek new opportunities. These benefits vary significantly across European countries, with different eligibility criteria, benefit amounts, and durations. Understanding the specifics of how unemployment benefits work in various regions can help employees navigate the system more effectively during times of transition. 🇩🇪 Germany: If you resign without a valid reason, there’s a 12-week waiting period before benefits start. You can receive 60-67% of your previous net salary, depending on your employment history. 🇮🇹 Italy: NASpI benefits are available to those who lost their jobs involuntarily, with at least 13 weeks of contributions in the last 4 years. Benefits reduce after 4 months and the duration varies by age and contribution period. 🇫🇷 France: ARE benefits are available if you've worked 6 months in the past 2 years and lost your job involuntarily. Mutual agreements with employers can also qualify, and additional support is available for older workers or those with low income. 🇧🇪 Belgium: Unemployment benefits are available if you lost your job through no fault of your own, with payments based on your last wage. The benefits are unlimited in time. 🇦🇹 Austria: Benefits amount to 55-60% of the last net salary, depending on family status. To qualify, individuals must have contributed to social insurance for at least 52 weeks in the past two years. 🇪🇸 Spain: The duration of benefits depends on the contributions made over the past 6 years, with a maximum period of 720 days. Payments are based on the contributions from the last 180 days before job termination. Unemployment benefits are a crucial safety net for employees across Europe, providing financial support during challenging times of job loss. By understanding the specific conditions and regulations in each country, workers can better plan for periods of unemployment and transition into new roles more smoothly. #winglobally #globalbusiness #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership

The importance of integrating disabled workers in the workforce Integrating disabled people into the workforce is not only a moral and legal obligation in many countries but also a strategic advantage that fosters innovation, creativity, and social responsibility. Companies that prioritize diversity tend to foster more creative and dynamic environments, leading to higher employee satisfaction and improved business outcomes. In this post, we explore the benefits, regulations, and incentives associated with hiring disabled workers across different countries. Many countries have established laws and regulations to support the employment of disabled people. These regulations ensure that disabled people have equal access to employment opportunities. Examples include: 🇩🇪 Germany: Companies with more than 20 employees are required to hire disabled workers or pay compensation. Employers can receive subsidies covering up to 50% of the employee’s salary for up to 12 months. 🇮🇹 Italy: Businesses with over 14 employees must hire disabled individuals. Incentives include tax relief up to 70% of the salary for workers with severe disabilities, enhancing inclusivity and compliance. 🇫🇷 France: Employers with more than 20 employees must ensure that 6% of their workforce consists of disabled people. Financial aid and tax breaks are available to support these efforts. 🇧🇪 Belgium: From July 2023, employers can apply for compensation to cover extra costs and lower productivity when hiring disabled workers. This support encourages workplace adaptations. 🇦🇹 Austria: Companies with over 25 employees are required to employ at least 1.5% disabled workers, or pay a financial contribution. Wage subsidies and grants for modifying workplaces are provided to ease integration. 🇪🇸 Spain: Companies with over 50 employees must hire at least one disabled worker, benefiting from social security reductions and other financial incentives. By fostering an inclusive environment, companies can leverage the full potential of their workforce, enhance their brand reputation, and contribute to a more equitable world.

Curious about how ESG reporting is being adopted in different European countries? 🇨🇭 Switzerland: Starting in 2024, Swiss companies must report on ESG matters for 2023. This applies to financial institutions and public enterprises with at least 500 employees, CHF 20 million balance sheet, or CHF 40 million turnover. 🇫🇷 France: The CSRD Directive begins January 1, 2024, with the first reports in 2025 for large companies. From 2025, it includes companies with over 250 employees and listed SMEs by 2026. By 2028, certain third-country companies with EU links must comply. 🇧🇪 Belgium: From 2025, large companies must report on sustainability impacts. This applies to those with over 250 employees, €40 million sales, or €20 million total balance. Reports will be audited. 🇳🇱 Netherlands: The CSRD, effective January 1, 2024, mandates reporting for large companies and listed SMEs. The CSDDD requires thorough due diligence on human rights and environmental impacts. 🇮🇹 Italy: On June 10, 2024, Italy adopted the EU Directive on corporate sustainability reporting, gradually extending reporting obligations to improve ESG transparency. 🇦🇹 Austria: Austria is transposing the CSRD into national law. EU guidelines will be directly applicable once transposed. 🇩🇪 Germany: From January 1, 2024, ESG reporting under the CSRD is mandatory for large, capital market-oriented companies with over 500 employees. It extends to other large companies in 2025 and listed SMEs in 2026. 🇪🇸 Spain: Starting January 1, 2024, public interest companies with over 500 employees must present reports in 2025. From 2025, it applies to companies with over 250 employees or €40 million turnover, with reporting in 2026. Listed SMEs must comply by 2026, with reporting in 2027.

Curious about how holidays and vacations are celebrated in different European countries? Here's a quick overview: 🇨🇭 Switzerland: In Switzerland, public holidays vary by canton, ranging from 8 to 15 days per year. The legal minimum vacation is 4 weeks, with many employers often providing a fifth week. 🇫🇷 France: In France, employees earn 2.5 days of paid leave per month, which can be taken between May 1 and October 31. This period allows for plenty of time to enjoy the summer. 🇧🇪 Belgium: Belgium offers 20 holidays per year, in addition to 10 legal holidays such as New Year's Day and National Day. This ensures plenty of opportunities for rest and celebration. 🇳🇱 Netherlands: The Netherlands has a variety of public holidays in 2024, including New Year’s Day, Easter, King’s Day, and Christmas. Special days like Sinterklaas and Mother's Day are also celebrated. 🇮🇹 Italy: In Italy, summer vacations typically occur from mid-June to mid-September, with August being the peak month. Schools close for summer from June to mid-September, making it a popular time for family holidays. 🇦🇹 Austria: Austrians don't have a specific vacation month, but school summer holidays last 9 weeks starting in late June or July. Some companies also have 2-3 week shutdowns during this period. 🇩🇪 Germany: Germany's school summer vacations last 6 weeks, varying by federal state. Many people without children prefer to vacation outside of school holidays to avoid the higher costs and crowds. 🇪🇸 Spain: In Spain, holidays were traditionally concentrated in August, but now they are spread more evenly from June to September. School summer holidays last about two-and-a-half months from late June to early-to-mid September. #holidays #summertime #vacation #doingbusiness #accountability #winglobally #accounting #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership

🇨🇭 In Switzerland, e-invoicing is not yet a significant topic compared to the EU, as Switzerland is not an EU member. While Switzerland's VAT law could benefit from alignment with the EU, currently, invoices are categorized as "paper," "e-invoice," and "digital" equally, with no mandatory structured electronic format. The Federal Finance Administration supports "e-billing," where customers receive invoices directly in their online banking services. 🇫🇷 In France, the obligation for companies to issue and receive electronic invoices has been postponed to ensure a smooth transition. Large and mid-sized companies must comply by September 1, 2026, while small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-enterprises have until September 1, 2027. All companies must be ready to receive e-invoices by September 1, 2026. 🇧🇪 Belgium will require all companies to use the Peppol system for invoicing starting January 1, 2026. Government contract invoices have already been required to use this system since March 2024. 🇳🇱 The Netherlands adopted the Peppol framework for e-invoicing, with public procurement law amended in December 2017. Government agencies must receive and process eInvoices via Peppol, the central government eInvoicing portal, or Digipoort. By November 2019, 95% of sub-central authorities were using eInvoices, and Peppol is recommended but not mandatory. 🇮🇹 Italy mandates e-invoicing for all domestic B2B transactions since January 2019, extending to all types of transactions, including B2C, with some exemptions. Since July 2022, foreign sales and purchases, and invoices from flat-rate taxpayers exceeding €25k annual turnover must also be electronic. From January 2024, this will apply to all flat-rate taxpayers. 🇦🇹 In Austria, e-invoicing is currently compulsory only for services and deliveries to public sector entities. 🇩🇪 Germany will enforce the obligation to issue electronic invoices starting January 1, 2025. 🇪🇸 Spain is awaiting the development regulations for e-invoicing. Once passed, companies with turnovers over €8 million will have one year to comply, and other companies will have two years.

Celebrating Winglobally's Anniversary! 🎉 In June 2016, during the annual NIS Global meeting in Geneva, the owner of NIS London announced their intention to join a different network. However, after the official dinner on the night of June 10th, a group of NIS Global members gathered in the office of the Swiss member. They decided to forge their own path instead of joining. Marcel Miro from PBS in Spain suggested the name "Englobally," inspired by his network in South America. This idea resonated with the group, leading to the formal establishment of the new network in Paris on July 18, 2016. The founding members came from France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, and Chile. On November 27, 2020, the network was renamed winglobally, reflecting its global ambitions and unity.

In our recent winglobally international congress in Luxembourg, we held a fascinating workshop on the way Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the modern workplace, offering new opportunities for innovation and efficiency. Here are three key ways AI is transforming how we work: 1. Automation of routine tasks: AI excels at streamlining routine tasks such as scheduling, data entry, and even customer inquiries. This automation increases efficiency and allows human employees to focus on more complex and creative tasks, ultimately boosting productivity and job satisfaction. 2. Enhanced data analysis: AI tools can process and analyze large datasets much faster than traditional methods, providing businesses with real-time insights. These insights help companies make informed decisions, identify trends, and predict customer behavior more accurately. 3. Personalized customer service: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants are now fundamental in managing customer interactions. They provide personalized and consistent responses 24/7, improving customer experience while reducing the workload on human staff. As AI continues to evolve, its impact on the workplace grows, opening up new possibilities for businesses to innovate and thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape. The challenge for us now is to know how to tap into this resource at our disposal while at the same time remaining personal in our contact and communications with our customers, an area we will strive to develop in order to maintain our key role as partners to our clients. #ai #artificialintelligence #worksmarter #businesscompliance #accountability #winglobally #accounting #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership

In the landscape of ESG reporting, Governance stands as a critical pillar. It ensures companies adhere to ethical practices, maintain transparency, and uphold accountability. Governance within ESG reporting transcends mere compliance; it's about fostering a culture of integrity and ethical decision-making. For example, a company might implement a whistleblower policy to encourage transparency or establish a diverse board to ensure varied perspectives in decision-making. In summary, governance within ESG reporting is not just about adherence to rules but about fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership. By embedding robust governance structures, companies can not only mitigate risks but also build trust and secure long-term success. Explore how effective governance practices pave the way for sustainable growth and stakeholder value in our comprehensive insights. #esg #governance #corporateresponsibility #accountability #winglobally #accounting #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership

Unlocking social impact: understanding ESG Reporting 🌟 In the realm of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Reporting, the "S" stands for Social, emphasizing human rights, equity, and societal well-being. ESG Social criteria assess a company's relationships with people and its impact on individuals, groups, and communities. This encompasses various aspects, such as labor practices, diversity, product safety, community relations, and supply chain transparency. The goal of ESG Social reporting is to evaluate how well organizations fulfill their social obligations, both locally and globally. By considering factors like income equality, workplace safety, and community engagement, companies can demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility. Key drivers shaping ESG Social impact goals include regulatory requirements, stakeholder expectations, employee activism, and the pursuit of competitive advantage through responsible business practices. In summary, ESG Reporting with a focus on Social Impact is crucial for companies to demonstrate their commitment to ethical and socially responsible business practices. It reflects a broader understanding of corporate citizenship and the importance of contributing positively to society. #esg #socialimpact #sustainability #corporateresponsibility #accountability #winglobally #accounting #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership #anniversary

🌐 Tax and e-Invoicing updates from Singapore and Malaysia 🇲🇾 Malaysia: The Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (MIRB) has announced a mandatory shift to an e-Invoice system, formalized under Section 82C of the Income Tax Act 1967, gazetted on December 29, 2023. This initiative, aligning with global trends, applies to all taxpayers, including individuals and legal entities. The rollout of e-invoicing will be staggered based on business revenue thresholds: - Businesses with revenue over RM100 million: Adopt by 1 August 2024 - Revenues between RM25 million and RM100 million: Implement by 1 January 2025 - All others: Compliance required by 1 July 2025. This phased approach aims to facilitate a smooth transition to digital invoicing across all business scales. 🇸🇬 Singapore: The Nationwide E-Invoicing Initiative, led by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), has been in effect since 2019. Renamed as InvoiceNow in September 2020, this initiative helps businesses improve efficiency, reduce costs, enjoy faster digital payment, and contribute to environmental sustainability. While e-Invoicing in Singapore is voluntary for B2B transactions, it is mandatory for B2G transactions. Additionally, there's a notable GST rate change from 8% to 9% effective from 1 Jan 2024. #taxupdates #einvoicing #singapore #malaysia #businesscompliance #accountability #winglobally #accounting #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership

Navigating VAT regulations in Europe: A professional insight Here's a concise guide into the intricate VAT landscapes of various European countries to keep you ahead of the curve! 🌍 🇮🇹 Italy: Italy, a pioneer in e-invoicing since 2019, mandates electronic invoices for all transactions. From July 2022, it extends to foreign transactions and exceeds annual turnover thresholds. As of 2024, even flat-rate taxpayers are obligated. 🇫🇷 France: In France, the era of electronic invoices dawned in 2021, especially for transactions in the public sector. A meticulous transition plan is in place, with large companies complying by 2026 and SMEs by 2027. Accredited platforms like Chorus Pro are your partners in seamless adherence. 🇳🇱 The Netherlands: Dutch VAT has transformed, especially in public tenders since January 2021.

By 2027, companies with substantial turnover face mandatory compliance, ushering in a new era of B2B digital transactions by 2028. 🇦🇹 Austria: Austria anticipates e-invoicing implementation around 2025 or 2026, aligning with European VAT amendments. While specific details remain elusive, vigilant anticipation is key as Austria takes steps towards modernized VAT processes. 🇪🇸 Spain: Spain's VAT transformation is imminent. Following legal passage, companies with turnovers exceeding 8 million euros are granted one year, others two, to transition to e-invoicing. A waiting game with strategic preparedness. >> continued in the comments

Recognizing the vital role of ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) compliance is crucial for modern businesses. 🌱 Initially perceived as an additional compliance aspect, ESG has evolved into a fundamental component of corporate strategy. This shift signifies the increasing awareness among companies regarding the importance of ESG issues and the potential risks associated with neglecting them as a core part of business operations. In the environmental domain, initiatives like digitalization and creating a paperless office, balancing office and remote work, and enhancing energy and resource efficiency in IT underscore the commitment to sustainable practices. On the social front, addressing equal pay, engaging in social initiatives, and prioritizing employee satisfaction contribute to a socially responsible business model. In terms of governance, adhering to ethical principles, fostering education and skill development, and ensuring client satisfaction are integral components of a robust governance framework. Ultimately, embracing ESG principles goes beyond compliance; it enhances business performance, fosters innovation, boosts competitiveness, and fuels sustainable growth. Integrating these value-adding practices creates strong synergies that contribute to the overall success and positive impact of a business. #sustainability #sustainabilitymatters #winglobally #accounting #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership

🔍 Navigating the EU Whistleblower Directive: What Lies Ahead In November 2019, the EU Whistleblower Directive came into play, marking a pivotal moment for organizations across Europe. Its purpose? To create a unified foundation for whistleblower protection, setting common standards while allowing room for individual member states to raise the bar. 🌍 A Pan-European Shift: This directive extends its protective umbrella beyond employees to a diverse range of individuals in various work-related contexts. From contractors to shareholders, the scope is broadened, ensuring a safer space for truth-tellers. 💼 Internal Reporting Evolution: Organizations must now construct robust internal reporting channels, fostering both anonymity and diligent follow-ups. The system must safeguard whistleblowers, ensuring their identity remains confidential and inaccessible to unauthorized personnel. 🤝 Strengthening Protections: Protection isn't an afterthought—it's a cornerstone. The Directive mandates timely responses, with acknowledgment within 7 days and feedback within 3 months. It places an emphasis on data privacy and secure registration, even for orally made reports. 🛡️ Shielding Whistleblowers: Whistleblowers are entrusted with the duty to reveal breaches of Union law. In return, they deserve protection from retaliation. The Directive spells out comprehensive measures to ensure their safety. ⚖️ The Path Ahead: Given the variations in how member states implement the Directive, organizations face a nuanced compliance landscape. Are you prepared for the changes? Have you appointed the right individuals to manage reports? Is your reporting system adaptable to diverse situations? Did you check the given timeline in your country? The EU Whistleblower Directive is more than a legal requirement; it's a call for transparency and fairness. Will your organization answer the call? 🤝 #whistleblowerdirective #whistleblowerreprisal #accountability #opengov #regulation #whistleblowers #whistleblow #whistleblower #winglobally #accounting #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership

🌐 E-invoicing Update in the EU 🇪🇺 The European Parliament and Council voted the Directive 2014/55/EU on electronic invoicing in public procurement on 16 April 2014. E-invoicing is on the rise across Europe, with countries adopting obligations that affect taxable entities in national B2B transactions. Initiatives like ViDA ("VAT in the Digital Age") and the Council Directive proposal have propelled e-invoicing forward. However, there are delays as EU countries hesitate to introduce national e-invoicing rules that might evolve with ViDA. Taxable entities now have time to adapt to e-invoicing while waiting for clearer parameters. 🇩🇪 Germany: A draft proposes e-invoicing from 01.01.2026 for domestic B2B transactions. The EU Council has authorized Germany to proceed, making this change likely. 🇧🇪 Belgium: Plans for e-invoicing have hit a roadblock as consensus on a tax reform package, including e-invoicing, remains elusive. 🇫🇷 France: The introduction of e-invoicing for large companies, initially set for July 2024, is postponed to address concerns. It may roll out gradually, possibly from 2028. 🇵🇱 Poland: Obligatory e-invoicing for (almost all) B2B supplies starts on 1 July 2024, with invoices transmitted via a state system. 🇷🇴 Romania: After initial plans, Romania is set to introduce broad e-invoicing following EU Council approval. 🇪🇸 Spain: E-invoices may become mandatory for all cases requiring invoice issuance, but specifics are yet to be determined. 🇮🇹 Italy: Italy was the first country to implement eInvoicing and make it mandatory for all domestic B2B transactions for the sales of goods and/or provision of services. Pros of E-invoicing: Efficiency, automation, scalability, security, fiscal audit benefits, time-saving, and lower environmental impact. Cons: Software costs, staff training, tight schedules, storage expenses, and the need for electronic credit notes for corrections.

CSRD: New Sustainability Reporting Rules Unveiled Starting January 1, 2024, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is poised to revolutionize reporting standards for large EU companies. These changes will impact how businesses disclose their sustainability practices and initiatives. The CSRD's primary aim is to redirect investments toward more environmentally friendly technologies and sustainable practices. This directive sets the stage for a more transparent and eco-conscious business landscape. The scope of the CSRD is substantial, extending its reach to over 50,000 companies across the EU. Within this number, approximately 15,000 companies in Germany alone will be affected. If your business falls within these categories, it's essential to be prepared for the upcoming changes. In a significant development, the EU Parliament has reached an agreement on a new standard for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure. This will apply to companies that have adhered to the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and will come into effect from the 2024 financial year, with reports published starting 2025. #csrd #sustainability #environment #winglobally #accounting #globalnetwork #trustedadvisor #businessgrowth #partnership
