In this exclusive interview, Andreas Rasche breaks down what the Omnibus outcome really means in practice. He shares his expert perspective on how the regulatory changes will affect sustainability reporting and how companies should respond to a less stable policy environment — but, just as importantly, what remains essential despite the shifting landscape.

“Companies need to think beyond compliance.”

The public debate around the Omnibus initiative has been intense. But companies need to decide now on how to continue and which steps to take.

In cooperation with Andreas Rasche, the leading voice in corporate sustainability, we conducted a new study on Sustainability Reporting After the Omnibus, surveying 400 companies across Europe. The study sets the empirical foundation for understanding how sustainability reporting is evolving in a broader strategic and regulatory context.
