This book illustrates the challenges posed by the highly complex ESG regulation to corporate communication―and how they can be overcome. Starting from the year 2024, the requirements for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting will be significantly increased. The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD or CS3D) of the EU mandates that more companies of all sizes provide detailed explanations about the compatibility of their business models with ESG standards.

This new era of corporate reporting must be tackled collaboratively by experts in corporate communication, investor relations, and accounting. The goal is to enhance the persuasiveness, reach, and crisis-resilient narrative of ESG reporting. The authors explain which aspects and perspectives are particularly crucial in this context, and how corporate leaders can continuously reassess and balance their speech and actions.
