Corporate Sustainability Reporting: What’s Changing and What’s Next?
Corporate sustainability reporting is evolving rapidly, driven by new legislation, shifting disclosure expectations, and growing demands for greater transparency. This session will explore the current reporting landscape, key regulatory developments affecting companies, and what these changes mean for corporate sustainability teams. Speakers will examine how organizations are adapting their strategies, data practices, and internal capacity while navigating an increasingly complex reporting environment. Hosted by TUV SUD and USGBC California at the American Institute of Architects San Francisco, the conversation will also provide a panel style opportunity for sustainability leaders to connect, share perspectives, and explore how the California Alliance of Sustainability Executives (CASE) can support collaboration and leadership across the profession, including the huge stake architects have in the game!
