ESRS_first set of draft European Sustainability Reporting Standards.pdfMarianna Sorrente
In April 2021, the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) that requires companies within the scope to report using double materiality perspective in compliance with European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) adopted by the European Commission as delegated acts. Under the proposed CSRD, EFRAG was appointed technical adviser to the European Commission developing draft ESRS. On 23rd of November 2022, EFRAG delivers the first set of draft ESRS to the European Commission.

ESG Roadmap: Observations and practical advice for boards, corporate secretar...Mike Wallace
Company governance practices and failures have long been an important factor in investor
analysis of a firm’s short-term and long-term value. Over the last several decades—with an
acceleration in the last five years—the relevance to investors of a company’s environmental and
social impacts stemming from its practices, policies and products has increased substantially.
Effective oversight and management by boards, corporate secretaries and sustainability teams
of so-called “ESG” (environmental, social and governance) issues are increasingly important to
preserving and creating shareholder value. Driven by client demand, reputational risk
management and a supportive body of financial research, many investors are demanding that
companies think more broadly about their ESG impacts, take corrective action (if required) and
disclose their ESG-related efforts. In this brief, we will examine the drivers of the growth in
ESG-related investing and engagement, explore ESG’s impact on financial products and
strategies and suggest practical advice to assist boards, corporate secretaries and sustainability
teams.

A business lens on the Sustainable Development Goalsfveglio
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent an ambitious and transformative agenda. They provide companies with a powerful framework to translate global needs and ambitions into business solutions.
Businesses that take an active role in leading this transformation and position the SDGs as a strategic lens at the core of their operations will ultimately be better placed to unlock market opportunities, manage emerging risks, and consolidate an enduring license to operate on the road to 2030.
This presentation by Filippo Veglio of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), delivered in Stockholm on 27 November 2018, lays out the Council's perspectives on the key business implications of the SDGs – taking a lens of risk, opportunities, governance & transparency, and collaboration.
Overview on the European Regulatory Context on ESG matters.
The EU wants to: i) redirect capital flows towards sustainable investment; ii)manage financial risks arising from climate change, environmental and social issues; iii) promote transparency. How the EU is doing this? there are different activities and different players involved.
Sustainable Supply Chains - Being Aware of the Current Requirements.pdfraj takhar
Review of current state and emerging requirements on sustainable supply chains.
The presentation focused on key themes from the worlds of Product Compliance (product safety and the identification of hazardous chemicals), through to the transition towards modern state Environmental, Social and corporate Governance (ESG), which is becoming increasingly focused towards factual evidence based data reporting, where data needs to be validated at the product level, rather than current state corporate organisational level.
The presentation also looked into 'Greenwashing' as it is a key driver for emerging requirements for evidence based data which is now being demanded by consumers, NGO's and regulators.
Assent would like to thank all participants in the room, who came from a wide range of industrial sectors for the excellent interactive discussion which took place.

January 2024. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is a framework that helps investors evaluate how a company manages risk and opportunities around sustainability issues. ESG takes a comprehensive view that extends beyond the environmental aspect to include the social and corporate governance aspects.
ESG metrics are non-financial indicators that evaluate companies' ESG performance. They are quantitative, such as GHG emissions; and qualitative, such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
ESG reporting is the public disclosure of ESG data. Its purpose is to shed light on a company’s ESG activities and improve transparency with investors.
ESG reporting offers many advantages to a business, including improved reputation, being more attractive to investors, competitive advantage, improved performance, resilient and sustainable business, capacity building, and climate change mitigation.
However, ESG reporting faces challenges such as the lack of a universal standard, being complex requiring specialized expertise, risk of greenwashing, and constantly changing regulations.
An ESG framework is a structured approach to ESG reporting. Using an ESG framework produces measurable, actionable, and credible results.
ESG standards translate ESG framework principles into action by specifying factors such as metrics, methodologies, and reporting formats. The absence of a universal ESG reporting standard has resulted in reliance on various standards.
The most commonly used ESG reporting standards include Task Force on Climate related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
ESG compliance refers to meeting or exceeding ESG guidelines established by the compliance frameworks and regulatory bodies.
An ESG rating, also called an ESG score, provides a benchmark for investors to evaluate a company’s ESG performance and compare it to other companies.
Policy wise, the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative was launched in 2009 to improve corporate transparency and performance on ESG issues. The SSE is coordinated by United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA).
In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, advantages, challenges, implementation steps, UN policy, and global statistics of ESG reporting. For more slideshows on environmental sustainability, please visit s2adesign.com

Presentation on the Value and Impact of Social Science Data Archives and the CESSDA SaW Toolkit
A set of 38 slides used for the Focus Group Cost-Benefit Funding Advocacy Program (Task 4.6) session at the CESSDA Saw Workshop in The Hague 16/17 June 2016.
This was an interactive focus group repeated over two parallel sessions. It was aimed at European social science data archive staff with responsibility for bidding for funding or promotion and advocacy of the archive to key stakeholders.
The presentation covers some of the key ideas on how the CESSDA Saw funding advocacy toolkit will be structured, its components, and key facts and approaches it will include.
We expect the cost-benefit funding advocacy toolkit under development to support the negotiation with ministries and funding organisations across Europe.
The results of the toolkit user requirements survey with responses from 24 European social science archives were presented and discussed, together with suggested approaches and content for the toolkit. 22 people attended the two sessions overall, representing a mix of countries at different stages on the development path for social science archives (none, new/emerging, mature). There was strong interest and support for the emerging toolkit together with open discussion of how it can be applied in the specific political and administrative context of different European countries.
The slide set presented here is an extended version including a number of hidden background/ reference slides not used in the presentation. The focus group is one of a series guiding further development of the toolkit and its adoption being given to either: (a) social science data archive staff or (b) their key stakeholders (senior management in their universities, research councils and academies, funding ministries, national statistics offices, research users and depositors).
CESSDA is the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives. The CESSDA SaW project “Strengthening and widening the European infrastructure for social science data archives” is funded by the European Commission as part of its Horizon2020 programme.
Value&impact research dataservices_idcc_2017Neil Beagrie
These slides are from a half-day workshop run on Monday 20 February 2017 at the International Digital Curation Conference 2017 (IDCC17) on “Demonstrating the Value and Impact of Research Data Services”.
It provides the latest overview of research findings and tools for assessing the benefits, costs, and return on investment of research data curation.
The workshop organisers were Neil Beagrie and Daphne Charles (Charles Beagrie Ltd) and Mike Priddy (DANS) and the Consortium of European Social Science Archives (CESSDA).
At the workshop attendees learnt from Neil Beagrie and Mike Priddy about how to apply the Cost-Benefit Advocacy Toolkit, the Capability Development Model, and the Archive Development Canvas (a variant of the Business Model Canvas) developed by the CESSDA Strengthening and Widening Project (CESSDA-SaW). Although the CESSDA-SaW project work focuses on the social sciences, core elements are multi-disciplinary and relevant to a wide range of organisations at IDCC involved in development, funding, and advocacy for research data infrastructures and open access for data.
CESSDA-SaW is a project funded by the Horizon 2020 programme. Its principal objective is to develop the maturity of data archive services that are aspiring to be, or are a part of the CESSDA community of social science data archives in a coherent and deliberate way towards the vision of a comprehensive, distributed and integrated social science data research infrastructure, facilitating access to social science data resources for researchers regardless of the location of either researcher or data. As part of the project, we have been developing the Cost-Benefit Advocacy Toolkit, the Capability Development Model, and the Archive Development Canvas to assist data archive services.
The expected learning outcomes from the workshop were that all attendees would:
• Understand the purpose of CESSDA-SaW, the Toolkit, Capability Development Model, and the Archive Development Canvas;
• Understand what is specific to social science, to different funding regimes, or maturity of services;
• Know the main findings from the desk research on the Toolkit and key lessons learnt;
• Understand economic approaches such as Return on Investment, other key arguments for Value, how it has been calculated, and why the counter-factual and “cost of inaction” are important;
• Understand how to use the Capability Development Model to undertake a self-assessment;
• Know what outputs will be available from CESSDA-SaW and how they might use them.

hackAIR - Open technology to map the air we breathehackAIR
Air pollution is the single environmental issue Europeans worry about the most, and many do not feel sufficiently informed about air quality issues in their country. Despite our commitments to measure air quality, official data remains patchy and is not always easily accessible.
The EU-funded project hackAIR joins the movement to improve air quality data in Europe through participatory sensing technology and citizen’s engagement. We build an open technology platform that you can use to access, collect and improve air quality information in Europe.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Monitoring and evaluation
● Formative evaluation tools identify each action/measure as «collaborative»
(or not) and collaboration with external stakholders is monitored across all
actions
● Summative evalution will prioritize assessment of:
● The overa. ll creation of 9 R&I Hubs (one for each of the partner regions) and the overall state of
collaboration among participants across the four Quadruple Helix sectors.
● Existence (to which degree) of a shared agenda and shared priorities on gender equality among the
innovation ecosystem stakeholders has been established
● Identification challenges and synergies of collaboration among participating Quadruple Helix
stakeholders
● Influence and contribution of R&I Hubs to intra-organizational GEP design and implementation
● Level of awareness raising regarding the importance of gender for research and innovation activities
across the Quadruple Helix
● The contribution of the innovation ecosystem approach to sustainability of Caliper outcomes;
synergistic effects.
