Become a partnerESG remains a duty and a competitive advantage – with VERSO and the ESG Roadmap Workshop
The Omnibus Regulation could be used to adapt existing ESG regulations. However, one thing is clear: sustainability remains a competitive advantage. With our ESG Roadmap Workshop, you will regain clarity about obligations, opportunities and priorities and make sustainability a success factor.
What is the Omnibus Regulation?
The Omnibus Regulation is a proposal by the EU Commission to simplify ESG reporting obligations and reduce bureaucracy. This includes CSRD, CSDDD, CBAM and EU Taxonomy.
However, this is currently only a proposal – it still has to be approved by the European Parliament and the Council. Changes may still be made during this process. The current law and the associated reporting obligations remain in place, at least for the time being.
What does the Omnibus Regulation mean for companies?
The omnibus procedure is intended to bring various adjustments to the CSRD, CSDDD, EU taxonomy and CBAM – for example, reducing the number of companies affected, cutting red tape and simplifying requirements. The entire overview can be found in the EU Commission’s press release.
Even if the regulation is passed, sustainability will remain a key success factor for companies. You should not miss out on this competitive advantage.
In addition, over 100 other ESG-related regulations – including the EUDR and the LkSG – are not affected. In addition, many companies along the supply chain must continue to provide ESG data. And in its current form, the CSRD is already being implemented in 20 EU member states.
Our tip for you is therefore quite clear: don’t wait and see, but act!
In a survey conducted in VERSO webinars (as of 26.02.2025) with several hundred people, a clear majority spoke out in favor of continuing their ESG efforts. 60% want to continue their sustainability activities, including reporting. 10% are continuing with their sustainability topics as normal, but have stopped reporting for the time being. And 9% stated that they only want to start focusing more on sustainability in the near future. Only 5% have put sustainability issues on hold or deprioritized them for the time being and are taking a wait-and-see approach.
Companies that set up ESG processes at an early stage secure tangible business benefits and avoid the pressure to act later.
Why is ESG important for companies?
ESG has long meant EBIT. Sustainability has a positive impact on companies’ profits and gives them a competitive advantage over their competitors. If you implement ESG strategies in a targeted manner, you will benefit from:
- Cost savings and increased efficiency through optimized processes and use of resources
- Clear competitive advantage through strong market positioning and long-term ROI
- Better access to financing thanks to high ESG ratings from banks and investors
- More innovative strength through sustainable product and process development
- Greater resilience to market and ESG-related risks – along the entire value chain
- Greater transparency that enables well-founded business decisions
- Better opportunities for specialists and talents through increased employer attractiveness
Why should companies continue to invest in sustainability?
ESG investments pay off – they make your company competitive in the long term. With ESG strategies and sustainability reports, you meet the market expectations of investors, customers and employees. In addition to competitive advantages, ESG also creates improved risk management – so you are investing directly in the future security of your company.
VERSO co-founder Andreas Maslo says: “Sustainability starts to be really fun after compliance.”
