In this week's episode, we delve into the crucial intersection of sustainability and the payments and fintech industry. We shine a spotlight on the Impact of Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), two pivotal regulatory frameworks that are set to reshape global business practices, particularly within the payments Industry.   Alexandre Lheritier, Co-Founder of Koaloo.Fi, joins Urvik Patel, our Associate at Payments Consulting Network, to unpack the implications of these directives.  They will explore not only what the CSRD and ESRS entail but also how businesses worldwide will be impacted. From navigating regulatory challenges to implementing sustainable practices, they discuss the hurdles and strategies necessary for the payment industry to adapt and thrive in this evolving landscape.   Additionally, they delve into the significance of preparing for these challenges proactively and the reasons why non-European entities should consider aligning with these regulations.   Join us as we delve into the complexities and opportunities presented by ESG and sustainability in the payments and fintech sector.
