This talk, delivered by Stephen Finnegan, will highlight how US, EU and UK regulations will impact your business and that of the IT Channel by 2026. This is a key year as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will enforce that every business, independent of size, operating in and through the EU will be required to consider their carbon impact and create a decarbonisation roadmap. Companies that become more environmentally aware and prove that they are taking steps to reduce their impact will strive, those that don’t could face extinction! The IT industry has a lot to do in a short space of time. Regulations will enforce change and Stephen would like to share his insights on the best approach to succeed.
