Sustainability Weekly 26 Feb – 1 March 2024

Last week, we published a study on CSRD: beyond transparency requirements, we believe it can be an anti-greenwashing weapon and a tool for engagement. We also published news flash notes on the failed negotiations on the CS3D, a feedback from the Geneva Motor Show and the adoption of new rules on environmental crimes by the European Parliament.

Flos B&B Italia (ex-IDG) : Ratings at risk after a challenging start to the year. Lowering our recommendation.

This could disappoin...
