They will be hosting an event at Climate Week NYC, a prominent event focused on climate action and sustainability, to discuss the implications of the European Union’s (EU) new legislation on U.S. businesses.
Climate Week NYC is a platform for sharing ideas, building partnerships, and driving action on climate change. The European Union’s (EU) ambitious Green Deal aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The CSRD and ESPR regulations, key components of the Green Deal, are designed to promote sustainable and responsible business practices across the EU.
The role of data in driving sustainable practices and the challenges associated with data collection and analysis. The importance of stakeholder engagement in achieving sustainability goals. The potential of digital technologies to support sustainable practices.
Christophe Girardier is the CEO and co-founder of Glimpact, the first digital platform to fully evaluate the global environmental impact of products and organizations by modeling the PEF/OEF standards adopted by the EU as part of the European Green Deal. Christophe was notably a member of the European Commission’s steering committee for the initiative titled “Single Market for Green Products”, which is at the origin of the PEF/OEF methodology. JR Beaudoin is the New York City-based CTO of Theodo, a global design & software engineering consultancy that delivers expertise in lean methodology, cloud-native technologies and product development. “The new reality is that U.S. companies who want continued access to the lucrative European market, a 27-country coalition that’s home to nearly 450 million people, must comply with ESPR and CSRD,” stated Girardier. “Glimpact provides the expertise to demystify the PEF/OEF methodology and help companies collect the required data to be part of the ecological transition to a sustainable world.”
The event will feature a keynote speaker, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. The keynote speaker will be a renowned expert in the field, sharing insights on the latest trends and advancements in the industry.
