CSRD Lessons from Česká spořitelna & Tangelo – Mastering ESG Reporting for 2025 and Beyond

On April 10, the Czech and Slovak Sustainability Summit will bring together sustainability leaders, regulatory experts, and innovators at the Cubex Center in Prague. Tangelo Software is proud to sponsor the event and host an interactive workshop at the event in collaboration with our client, Česká spořitelna.

As the first wave of companies face the reality of reporting under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), many are asking: what can we learn from those leading the way? Our session offers a unique opportunity to gain front-line insights into CSRD compliance, featuring real-world experiences, practical tips, and future-ready strategies for ESG reporting.

Fireside Chat with Česká spořitelna

The highlight of the workshop will be a fireside chat with Valerie Novotná, Head of Accounting and CSRD Lead at Česká spořitelna. Valerie will share her team’s hands-on journey through the CSRD reporting process—from initial preparation to submission—unpacking the biggest challenges, unexpected hurdles, and key lessons learned.

Her perspective will provide invaluable guidance for companies still navigating the early stages of CSRD implementation or looking to refine their reporting frameworks for 2025 and beyond.
