The VDT has once again revised its guide on “Treasury and ESG”, first published in spring 2024, and incorporated the changes to EU regulations on ESG reporting as of March 2026.

The guide is intended to provide members of the Verband Deutscher Treasurer e.V. (VDT) with an up-to-date overview of the complex topic of ESG and the associated requirements for treasury functions. Its aim is to raise treasurers’ awareness of the many different aspects involved and encourage them to examine in greater depth those issues that may be relevant to their individual companies.

However, ESG remains a rapidly evolving area, meaning that this guide can only serve as an introduction. It is therefore essential to keep up to date with ongoing developments. Since 2025, numerous EU regulations on ESG reporting that had already been adopted have been, or are currently being, revised with regard to the companies affected, reporting requirements and implementation timelines. In some cases, the necessary transposition into German law is also still pending.
