Charm-EU: Building a European Network for Sustainability Reporting

On April 23 and 24, the University of Montpellier will host a seminar titled “Building a European Network for Learning and Research in sustainability reporting”. The event is organized as part of the Charm-EU alliance of European universities.

This event brings together faculty members, researchers, and institutional stakeholders from the Charm-EU alliance to explore the intersections between sustainable accounting, finance, law, and management in the context of the European Green Deal. Hosted by the University of Montpellier, this seminar focuses on the integration of key European sustainability regulations—such as the CSRD, the ESRS, and the European Taxonomy—into educational programs and research activities.

Through workshops and networking sessions, participants share best practices and help build a European network dedicated to advancing education, research, and professional practices in sustainability reporting.
