How to Stop Guessing About ESG — And Start Leading With It

The Sustainability & Profitability Podcast Episode 1 – ESG 101 Series "How to Stop Guessing About ESG — And Start Leading With It" Hosted by Monica Antohi, CEO @Sustain-Ability.Solutions with guest Claire Bataillie, ESG Strategist & Regulatory Guide *This episode was recorded in Oct 2024. We will be recording and releasing a new episode shortly with the newly proposed Omnibus Regulation and the approved amendments to the ESRD, which could go into effect later this year, delaying some of the reporting, increasing some limits, and easing some of the compliance requirements. All details to come, with side-by-side comparisons. ESG for CEOs, CFOs, and sustainability leads just got a whole lot clearer. Most companies don’t know where to start. Some are filing ESG reports because they have to. Others are waiting to see what gets enforced. Many are stuck in between—uncertain whether CSRD, SEC regulations, or Swiss ESG laws apply to them. This episode is for them. In the kickoff of The Sustainability & Profitability Podcast we break down everything business leaders need to know about sustainability reporting in 2025—no fluff, no fear, no greenwashing. It began with a simple question: “Do I need to file an ESG report this year?” And became something far more strategic: A roadmap to use ESG as a competitive edge—starting today. What You’ll Learn: * A clear, executive-friendly breakdown of CSRD, SEC, and Swiss Code of Obligations * The true meaning of double materiality—and how to use it for growth * Why ESG isn’t just about optics—it’s about operational and regulatory readiness * How delayed action increases risk (and why acting now pays off) Companion eBook (2024 Edition) We are updating the eBook to include all the (proposed or already approved) regulatory changes up to March 2025.
