Our client is one of the major players in rail logistics in the world. The Group has adopted new goals, including offering safer, more cost-effective, and lower impact solutions. This has been achieved through a clearer commitment, which is to be operationalized through the development of a comprehensive reporting framework to meet upcoming CSRD sustainability reporting requirements.
the challenge
With operations around the world, the Group offers local expertise to a world of customers in industries as diverse as steel, energy, chemicals, construction, mining, food, cosmetics, and logistics and transportation.
The group needed to meet new CSRD compliance requirements through two critical initiatives: updating their materiality assessment using the double materiality approach and conducting a gap analysis of their existing reporting protocol and governance structure to evaluate current readiness.
OUR METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH
