2026 Sustainability Trends: The Forces That Will Define Action and Accountability - 2nd Session
The regulatory and corporate sustainability landscape is often described as flexible, with deadlines that shift and guidance that changes. That perception is misleading. Behind the apparent flexibility, sustainability regulations, reporting requirements, and stakeholder expectations are consolidating. Transparency, assurance, and measurable impact are all under closer scrutiny, and the window for delay is narrowing.
2026 will not bring entirely new questions. It will harden the ones sustainability leaders have been navigating for years. The sustainability trends emerging now will determine which organizations can act decisively on corporate sustainability strategy, climate action, and emissions reduction goals and which will fall behind.
This webinar highlights the sustainability signals that matter most. Some indicate where regulatory pressure and compliance requirements will intensify. Others reveal opportunities to reduce reporting friction, improve sustainability metrics, and accelerate progress toward net zero and broader environmental impact.
For leaders responsible for corporate sustainability strategy, reporting, and operational sustainability outcomes, this session will help distinguish noise from signal, prioritize efforts, and identify where early action creates measurable advantage.
What you will learn
The sustainability trends that will shape corporate strategy and reporting in 2026
How regulatory uncertainty masks tightening compliance expectations
Where early action on sustainability reporting and metrics can reduce complexity
How to prioritize corporate sustainability efforts amid increasing stakeholder scrutiny
Signals that separate sustainability leaders from organizations at risk of falling behind

ESRS 2.0 & CSRD: Key Changes, Implications, and Strategic Next Steps
Wednesday, February 18, 2026 - 5:00 PM CET (11:00 AM EST)
With the upcoming ESRS 2.0 updates, the European Commission aims to simplify and clarify CSRD reporting requirements, reduce unnecessary burden, and improve consistency across organizations. Updated thresholds, clearer obligations, and refinements across ESRS standards are designed to make sustainability reporting more proportionate and decision-useful.
However, these changes still require organizations to reassess scope, timelines, and reporting approaches, especially those already preparing for CSRD. Understanding what has changed and how to adjust implementation plans accordingly, is now critical to ensuring compliance without rework or inefficiencies.

Determine reporting scope, thresholds, and timelines
Assess practical implications for data collection, governance, and reporting processes
Learn from TomorrowWorks’ hands-on experience in CSRD implementation

Carbon Accounting: The Engine Behind ESG Disclosures
Sustainability and ESG data is often siloed and disparate which leads to inefficient and static reporting for scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions accounting. The organizations who are already tracking this information are often stuck using manual processes or excel to aggregate their data and need a sustainable solution. With policies and regulations such as SEC and CSRD on the road to implementation, organizations who are not currently tracking their scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data need to start doing so in a sustainable way. Understanding your entire carbon footprint is no longer a nice-to-have, and is now becoming an expectation. Carbon Accounting is the first step! Watch the Recording Now!
Sustainability & ESG Software Evaluation Criteria: Adopting Software for your Sustainability and ESG needs
Within Sustainability and ESG there is a growing demand for organizations to aggregate, track, measure, and disclose ESG and Sustainability data. Because of this, organizations need to combine their goals with software and the traditional, error-prone, spreadsheet-based approach simply won’t meet the needs going forward. To help address this, Sustaira has released a valuable ESG & Sustainability Software Evaluation Criteria to organizations navigate what to consider when adopting software for their Sustainability and ESG needs. This webinar will offer a deep dive into this new Evaluation Criteria. View Recording now!
