Webinar Risk in Focus 2025: Climate change biodiversity and environmental sustainability

Another edition of the Risk in Focus Webinar Series is here!

As regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) increase requirements for organisations’ reporting efforts, internal auditors play a crucial role in addressing climate change, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability risks.

Key insights from Risk in Focus 2025:

• One-third of Chief Audit Executives (CAEs) identified climate change, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability as top risks.
• 15% of CAEs ranked these risks as their number one threat.
• Despite being outpaced by digital disruption, these topics remain critical for organisations.
• By 2028, 50% of CAEs are expected to prioritise climate-related risks, with internal audit efforts projected to double in significance.
• Upcoming CSRD requirements highlight the need to improve reporting readiness and strengthen environmental sustainability compliance.

It is clear that internal auditors are vital in improving climate-related reporting readiness, ensuring compliance, and navigating the complexities of integrating climate-related data. In this webinar, we will delve into key trends and provide insights on how internal auditors can guide organisations through the evolving regulatory and strategic challenges — safeguarding business resilience and positioning for a sustainable future.
