Program summary

CSRD Kickstarter is a one-day program by and for professionals in the high-tech industry who want a thorough understanding of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and how to apply it.  

CSRD Kickstarter helps you prepare for sustainability reporting and implement CSRD in your organisation by focusing on both CSRD and organisational milestones. This is achieved through expert sessions, engaging materials and case studies, and lively workshops.

Who’s the Kickstarter program for

Companies, from high-tech, who have to comply with the CSRD themselves (who are starting their CSRD journey) as well for companies that are influenced indirectly (via their customers) and would like to prepare for it. 

Individuals with a background in sustainability, finance, risk management, ESG reporting, or sustainable innovation.

A trifold approach makes
the CSRD Kickstarter unique

What participants say

“ I chose the program because it looked like a hands-on program that would give me something that I could actually apply instead of just a lot of theory and no clue where to start. And it turned out to be exactly like that, the program forms a good basis to get started. “

Frank GoossenBusiness Controller, maxon motor benelux bv

“ The training is very valuable to obtain an overall understanding of the ESRS and CSRD legislation and the path to come. The materials are good at digesting broad and theoretical topics into smaller more practical understandable topics. “

Roan van de WegeGroup controller, CoreDux Group

“ For whom with little experience in standard reporting on financial and sustainability, your approach made the structure of the CSRD clear as well as a practical approach on how to start. You achieved what was promised for the workshop. “
