Why sustainability reporting now sits with the CFO

The reporting burden has shifted. So has the opportunity.

CSRD, ESRS, and a growing wave of global assurance requirements have pulled sustainability data into the same governance model as the financial close. For CFOs and Controllers, that means new pressure on auditability, timelines, and controls. It also means sustainability reporting can finally deliver something Finance has always wanted from ESG: decision-ready insight, not compliance overhead.

In this session, three OneStream experts and Verdantix Principal Analyst will show what a Finance-grade approach to sustainability looks like in practice, and what recent Verdantix research reveals about the business case for ESG and how the CFO's role is evolving.

Three things you’ll take on:

1. A clearer view of the Business Case for ESG

• Verdantix data on where sustainability reporting delivers financial return, not just compliance.

2. Practical CFO playbook

• How Finance leaders are reorganizing accountability, controls, and reporting cycles around sustainability data.

3. A working demo

• See OneStream ingest emissions inputs, run consolidation, and produce audit-ready ESG reports alongside financial results.

Sustainability reporting is no longer optional. In this session, you'll hear directly from Verdantix on where the ROI actually shows up, and see how leading Finance teams are running ESG reporting with the same rigour as the close. If you're planning your 2026 approach to CSRD/ESRS or investor-grade sustainability disclosures, this is the session to bring your team to.

Who is this webinar for?

This session is designed for CFOs, Controllers, and Finance leaders navigating the growing intersection of financial and sustainability reporting. It's also relevant for Sustainability and ESG teams looking to align more closely with Finance on data governance, controls, and strategic decision-making.
