[Article] 💡 "We still have much to learn about what we do and do not need. That is precisely the context that offers opportunities for our employees to work on their own sustainable careers within the ESG reporting narrative." - Jean-Paul Corin, HR Director at Duomed While in many companies, the finance department takes the lead in sustainability reporting, Duomed's finance department mainly plays the role of data provider. The members of the Sustainability Team at Duomed personally reached out to be a part of it. "The fact that they can evolve within their jobs and work on a topic they are passionate about, allows us to make and keep them happy." ➡️ Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e4b5nz39 #TriFinance #sustainablecareers #TalentPerspectives2024

The European Union has set the bar high when it comes to sustainability reporting standards. By 2025, large-sized enterprises will be required to report using the European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS). SMEs will need to follow. At Amesto and Spabo, we've taken a proactive approach and have already started reporting through ESRS this year. Why wait when we can strive for perfection now, or at the very least, improve ourselves along the way? 😊 Our great team at Amesto Footprint, led by our very best Christine Lundberg Larsen, have done an exceptional job with our first sustainability report, but as they stated when handing it in: "We are grateful for having had a head start on this complex and comprehensive standard. After all, it's all about continuous learning!" If you're curious and would like to have a read, or even just a quick browse, you can check out our report through the link attached below.

The company plans to increase its team from 40 to 70 employees in the next year to meet demand. Apiday leverages AI for efficient ESG reporting while combining it with human expertise, setting itself apart from competitors like AlphaSense and Dataminr.
