SUMMARY:Peer Learning Forum: Preparing for  UK Sustainability Reporting Standards
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore what actions can be taken in order to get ready for the UK SRS\n\n\nThis is an online event taking place on Microsoft Teams \nAudience\nBusiness in the Community (BITC) members who have advisory in their membership package. Our Peer Learning Forums (PLF) are open to all members who have advisory in their membership package – hosted by our issue experts\, there are 20 forums a year\, covering a range of responsible business areas and enabling our members to discuss challenges\, solutions and ideas. \n\n\nAbout the event\n‘The question now is how government translates intention into action. We’ve certainly seen the right intention\, green papers\, and white papers\, but how can we get that into regulation and action?’ – Adolfo Hernandez\, Chief Executive Officer\, Capita \nThe UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (SRS) are finally out for consultation and although we’ve all been preparing based on our knowledge of the ISSB IFRS\, the CSRD and the TCFD (acronym bingo – are you confused yet?) it’s time to share learning and expertise on what companies are doing to get prepared for reporting. BITC will be responding to the consultation and some member companies will likely be doing so directly too. What’s included that we need to prepare for and what doesn’t go far enough? Now that this compliance sets a baseline\, what does this mean for the ‘responsible business’ approach? How can we ensure that we pivot resources to meet reporting requirements without dampening our aspirations and taking away from the interventions that create impact? Join us to discuss these questions and more alongside other BITC member companies. \nThis peer learning forum is part of a series on regulation\, alongside the Environment Peer Learning Forum on Climate-Related Transition Planning\, taking place on 16th September. \n\n\nAbout Business in the Community’s Peer Learning Forums\nBITC’s Peer Learning Forums provide a confidential environment to discuss common issues\, solutions\, and good practice. There will be an emphasis on discussion and sharing experiences. All contributions from businesses will be confidential within the group and won’t be shared externally by BITC. \nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact Jessica.hart@bitc.org.uk \, Event Coordinator\, BITC for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
