Working Group "Sustainability": Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)

Welcome to the DJW Working Group "Sustainability"!

Our DJW member, Jean Bauer, who has been actively involved in the field of sustainability for 10 years and has been self-employed in this area since 2023, has established a new working group within DJW to provide a platform for direct exchange on this incredibly important topic within DJW members!

The working group brings together companies of all sizes and industries, self-employed individuals, private individuals, and anyone interested in the topic of "Sustainability in the German and Japanese economy." The goal is to understand and compare the diverse regulations of both countries, identify market trends, exchange experiences and perspectives, and collaboratively find practical solutions.

First companies will be obliged to report in accordance with the CSRD requirements (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) in 2025. This task not only requires a certain amount of know-how, but also sufficient time and resources. In the next working group, we would like to discuss challenges, approaches, and supporting technologies together. We therefore ask all participants to prepare accordingly and to bring along their approaches and questions. As always, we will try to set ourselves a small workshop task and solve it together. Topic: “How can artificial intelligence help with the implementation of CSRD?”      

We are planning on organizing regular working group meetings focussing on various deep dive topics of sustainability. This session in November 2024 will focus on the challenges and road maps of CSRD.

Meeting Flow

During our meetings, all participants are invited to share their opinion and alternative solutions on these issues. We like to encourage everybody to contribute with their own experiences bettering our understanding. The main spoken language will be English, but questions can be posed in German and in Japanese as well.
