How sustainability reporting can drive financial performance

EY Global CCaSS Sustainability Reporting and Assurance Solution Leader Christian Orth discusses with Thomas Knobloch, corporate head of sustainability reporting and controlling at Siemens AG, and Caroline Pfaff, Partner at EY Germany, on how sustainability reporting can be used as a powerful management tool to help steer business performance amid the roll-out of new regulatory frameworks such as CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive).

The trio dives deep on whether ESG disclosure is simply an administrative burden or a tool to drive real value.

Moreover, Orth, Knobloch, and Pfaff breaks down the practical reality of ESG reporting, looking closer at the challenge of complex global data, tracking how organisations can move past chasing “perfect” real-time metrics and instead prioritize immediate progress over perfection.
