Executive Morning Brief: Compliance or Competitive Edge? Learnings From the First Wave of CSRD Reports

Marjella Lecourt-Alma from Datamaran and CBS Professor Andreas Rasche dive into how the first CSRD reports are changing the rules of the game – and what it means for you as a leader in this Executive Morning Brief.

Introduction

The first CSRD reports have arrived. But is CSRD just another compliance exercise – or can it become a true competitive advantage?

In this Executive Morning Brief, Marjella Lecourt-Alma from Datamaran and CBS Professor Andreas Rasche discuss how companies are interpreting and implementing the new requirements, and what strategic opportunities emerge in the wake of the first wave of reporting.

  • Where are the biggest blind spots – and how can they turn into strategic opportunities?

  • How can leaders move from compliance to creating real business value?

The conversation is based on Datamaran’s groundbreaking analysis of more than 11,000 Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs) from 304 companies across 21 countries and 57 industries. The analysis reveals patterns, blind spots, and trends that are already shaping the future reporting landscape.
