Is compliance crowding out strategic work? And are the challenges you fac e specific to your organisation\, or structural across the profession?\n\n Plenty of research looks at what companies disclose. Far less looks at the people responsible for those disclosures. This autumn\, sustainability pr ofessionals across Europe shared their experience through the 2026 Sustain ability Professional Benchmark. On Thursday 10 December\, Salacia Solution s and Nexio Projects present the findings for the first time\, at a launch event in Rotterdam.\nWhat to expect\nThe first look at the results: see t he findings of the 2026 Sustainability Professional Benchmark before the r eport goes public. The report covers six themes: team &\; resources\, c ompliance vs. strategy\, data &\; reporting\, supply chain\, leadership &\; influence\, and AI &\; the future of the role.\nBenchmark yours elf\, live: bring your phone\, answer a few questions in the room and see where you stand against your peers\, on screen\, in real time.\nYour quest ions\, answered: open Q&\;A\, so you can challenge the findings and exp lore what they mean for your role.\nLunch with your peers: finish the afte rnoon with sustainability professionals who recognise the same challenges you do.\nThe event is for sustainability managers\, heads of sustainabilit y\, ESG and reporting leads\, and the consultants who work alongside them: anyone who has wondered whether their day-to-day reality is the exception or the rule.\n\nHaven't taken the survey yet?\nThe benchmark is open unti l 27 November. It takes about 10 minutes\, it’s fully anonymous and it ’s completely separate from event registration. You don’t need to have taken part to attend. The more people who contribute\, the clearer the pi cture we can share on 10 December.\nThis is the first edition of the Green Collar Report\, and we’ll run it every year. What we hear in the room w ill help shape the questions we ask next time.\nTake the survey!\n\nKeynot e: Simon Braaksma\nGlobal Head of Sustainability\, Philips · Vice-Chair\, EFRAG Sustainability Reporting Board\nFrom the EFRAG boardroom to the Phi lips annual report\nFew people see European sustainability reporting from both sides of the table. Simon Braaksma does. At EFRAG\, he helps shape th e ESRS and the advice given to the European Commission. At Philips\, he re ports against those same standards.\nSimon began his career in finance\, a t Citibank and in Treasury at Philips\, before moving into sustainability in 2008. Under his watch\, Philips came to treat sustainability data with the same rigour as financial data\, and its integrated report now carries reasonable assurance\, a level most companies are only starting to work to wards.\n“You can only have reasonable assurance if you have good interna l controls.”\nOn 10 December\, Simon opens the launch of the Green Colla r Report 2026\, reflecting on the findings as both a standard-setter and a practitioner.\nMore information/register\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.duurzaam-ondernemen.nl/wordpress/wp- content/uploads/2026/10/Take-part-in-the-2026-Sustainability-Professional- Benchmark-4.png CATEGORIES:Duurzaamheidsprofessionals LOCATION:Salacia office\, Coolsingel 65\, Rotterdam\, Nederland GEO:51.922158;4.478428 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Coolsingel 65\, Rotterdam\, Nederland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Salacia office:geo:51.922158,4.47842 8 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Amsterdam X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Amsterdam BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20261025T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:CET END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
