Eminence | Value Chain Roadmap

With insight from Deloitte, GFA will create an inspirational value chain I(RO) map and  toolkit to help raise awareness in the sector and guide companies in the development of materiality assessments which meet the requirements of the upcoming regulation such as Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and others by helping to identify the main environmental, social and Governance (ESG) impacts, risks and opportunities throughout the value chain.
