CFO Sustainability Compass
The CFO Sustainability Compass is a practical guide to support CFOs in dealing with strategic and regulatory sustainability requirements affecting their companies.
Sustainability regulation brings new challenges for CFOs, while also presenting valuable opportunities. How can the CFO maintain a strategic overview while ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met?
To answer this question, co-initiator ECOFACT and the Center for Corporate Reporting (CCR) have developed the CFO Sustainability Compass (sponsored by Wolters Kluwer). The Compass highlights the most important sustainability trends and drivers and provides CFOs with nine overarching recommendations. The recommendations are split into two sections that mirror the key responsibilities of the CFO department: Finance, Strategy and Growth, and Reporting and Communication.
The CFO Sustainability Compass was first presented by ECOFACT at a CCR-webinar on January 16, 2025. The event included a brief introduction of the nine overarching recommendations as well as a discussion with Mads Joergensen, Group CFO of Georg Fischer AG.
“I strongly encourage CFOs to take ownership of the sustainability function. There are significant synergies to be gained.”
MADS JOERGENSEN, GROUP CFO, GEORG FISCHER AG
