Bureau Veritas to Explore the Implications of ESRS-TC (40a) for UK Businesses in September Webinar

In September 2026, Bureau Veritas will join edie for an in-depth webinar exploring the emerging European Sustainability Reporting Standards for Third-Country Groups (ESRS-TC (40a) and what they mean for UK-headquartered businesses.

Recent changes to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) have led many organisations to assume that sustainability reporting requirements are easing. However, for some UK organisations, the reality may be more nuanced. ESRS-TC (40a), which is still evolving, has the potential to introduce reporting requirements for organisations that may have previously considered themselves outside the scope of CSRD.

Why ESRS-TC (40a) Matters Now

ESRS-TC (40a) is being developed to provide a sustainability reporting framework for certain non-EU groups with significant EU operations. While the requirements are still evolving, organisations may benefit from understanding their potential implications and preparing accordingly. For UK-headquartered businesses with EU subsidiaries, branches, operations, or significant revenue streams, understanding potential ESRS-TC (40a) implications is becoming increasingly important.
