The EU Omnibus proposal is setting out to reduce red tape and make compliance easier for businesses. But will this simplification weaken the sustainable impact of regulation?

If you’re a journalist looking to navigate the complexity of this new EU legislation, we urge you to join our webinar. It will empower you to analyse the real economic stakes of the EU Omnibus, as Europe redefines its path to sustainability.

This webinar series is for journalists who want to deepen their understanding of the complex world of sustainable finance.

This second session dives into the Omnibus simplification package. Join us to explore how it could change the sustainability landscape for companies, banks, investors, and citizens. As the EU walks a tightrope between competitiveness and climate ambition, the Omnibus package raises urgent questions:

  • Will streamlining the rules lead to smarter sustainability – or softer standards?
  • Will financial actors be empowered – or let off the hook?
  • And will citizens still be able to trust in a sustainable future that is both transparent and accountable?

Through expert discussion, you’ll gain even deeper knowledge and context to inform your reporting.
