Organized by ecoDa, EY and the Slovenian Directors’ Association (SDA) and in partnership with ACCA, BusinessEurope and EuropeanIssuers, the European Corporate Governance Conference 2021 – an accompanying event to the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU – brings together decision-makers (European Commission and European Parliament), academics and key business experts from EU and beyond.
A discussion about Corporate Governance along the lines of Sustainability & Innovation is quite timely given the European Commission ongoing initiatives related to the European Green Deal and the Capital Markets Union, such as Sustainable Corporate Governance, Corporate Sustainable Reporting and external audit.
How Corporate Governance and reporting obligations can increase understanding of the changing scene and new challenges in order to better foster the long-term existence of companies? Are we witnessing a real paradigm shift? How to ensure that companies do not just “green” their activities but embed new strategic models?

The pressure on European companies is accelerating to integrate the ESG dimension into their strategy and business models. At the same time, banks are also more and more required to deliver green, sustainable and taxonomy-aligned loans.
These various pressures may result in SMEs suffering from a financing shortfall, because of their lack of human and financial resources to report on sustainability, while financing is a key prerequisite for SMEs to green their business models. This vicious circle could only be broken by a reflection at European level on how to effectively finance these changes in strategy in order not to put business out of business. Given that banks are the main source of fundings for SMEs, their support is key to finance this transition for direct business benefit.
This joint ecoDa / Mazars Webinar, which will take place on the 5th of April (from 11.00 to 12.30 CEST) will tackle the following questions: How does incorporation of ESG elements into lending policies can be done in a phased and intelligent approach for the interest of all? What are the key challenges SMEs face in financing their sustainability transition ? How can banks best accompany SMEs on their transition journey ? How should board members of SMEs proceed to move forward down the sustainability path?

Sustainability is no longer a concern just for large companies. All companies including SMEs will be greatly impacted, whether through their supply chains, access to funding or the related reputational risks. The overall effect should not be underestimated nor the responsibilities of directors of both large and small companies concerning sustainability.
To stimulate boards to think how to tackle this vast topic, ecoDa and Mazars are organising a series of event to focus on how to respond practically to the challenges and, as importantly, how to spot the opportunities.
The first event in the series will look at how supply chains have been impacted by sustainability. It will discuss current legislative trends and hear the views of both large companies and SMEs who are well advanced on their sustainability journey. The content
echoes an upcoming ecoDa/Mazars publication which will propose a practical approach for business leaders to embed ESG matters into their companies.
Questions considered will include:
– How does the trickle-down effect of ESG regulation affect SMEs?
– How large companies are turning their ESG commitments into action through their supply chains?
– How SMEs can proactively respond to the new requirements?

As part of the European SME Week, ecoDa is delighted to organize, under the patronage of DG GROW (European Commission) an event following the publication of its updated Corporate Governance Guidance and Principles for Unlisted Companies in Europe.
Corporate Governance is an increasing issue for unlisted companies as they develop new sources of finance. It is also a way to gain the respect of key external stakeholders. However, copying principles of best practice for listed companies is not a viable solution as unlisted companies have their own features and challenges. Given the wide scope of unlisted companies, the definition and implementation of a corporate governance framework has indeed to take account the firm’s size, complexity, level of maturity and objectives regarding its own development. With its updated Corporate Governance Guidance and Principles for Unlisted Companies in Europe, ecoDa is providing advice for the governance implementation process, leaving the companies the freedom to decide on the pace and depth.
This webinar will get the challenges and opportunities out for discussion. Testimonies of unlisted companies will flesh out specific practices highlighting the importance of discipline and consistency.
