📢 🇨🇿 Important Update on CSRD transposition in the Czech Republic We're at a pivotal moment in corporate #sustainability #reporting in the Czech Republic, with the phased transposition of the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”). Here's what's happening: ✔️ Phase 1: In progress – focusing on companies subject to reporting under the NFRD, with an effective date of 1 January 2024. ✔️ Phase 2: Extends reporting to more companies in alignment with the new Czech Accounting Act, expected by mid-2024. This development is crucial for businesses aiming to stay compliant and ahead in sustainability reporting. 🌱📘 🌟 To delve deeper into these changes and their implications, Kinstellar is preparing a December #ESG seminar. We'll cover #Greenwashing, Green Claims, Carbon Tariffs, and much more, offering expert insights into navigating these new ESG landscapes. Join us to stay informed and prepared for these critical shifts in ESG compliance and reporting.

📢 Newly introduced Czech sanctions on Russian state-owned real estate might become applicable throughout the EU   ✔️On Wednesday, 15 November, the Czech government froze Russian state-owned properties in the Czech Republic, expanding the national sanctions list formed in reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.   💡 The Czech government widened its national sanctions list to include Goszagransobstvennost, a company controlled by the Russian presidential administration that manages Russian assets abroad. The company cannot make any dispositions concerning its properties in the Czech Republic, and any rental income paid is to a frozen bank account.   👉🏻 This move is part of a broader Czech call for a stricter European response to the war in Ukraine, as the government plans to push for a similar ban throughout the European Union.   🌍If adopted at the EU level, such a Europe-wide ban would result in asset freezes of hundreds of properties owned by the Russian Federation in the EU.   📩For any other details or information, please contact Karla Rundtova, Partner, at trk=public_post_embed-text #intheknow #sanctions #EU
