Education is a basic right. Yet 117M girls worldwide don't have access to education. @planbelgie launches a campaign about girl's rights, an action close to our hearts. We support them in their communications and sponsor a Plan child. https://t.co/LyoQtybj2Y #UntilEveryGirlIsFree

This atypical situation calls for a cautious approach where patience and guilt insight play an important role.

How do you survive a scandal as an individual? Our managing partner @rafweverbergh explains today in @tijd how accusations of transgressive behaviour lead to 'scansis', a mix of a #scandal and a #crisis.

However, recent research suggests this depends on the severity of the scandal: a sorry also admits a 'crime'. Elton John might have been right: 'sorry seems to be the hardest word'.

To say sorry or not? 🤔 It's one of the main dilemma's in #crisiscommunication, and more so when individuals get caught up in a #scandal. William Benoit generally argues remorse for mistakes made is the way to go. (1/2)

“An administrative tsunami is coming our way” and “the sheer volume of European rules could lead to distrust”. That’s what we read in Trends Tendances about ESG reporting just last week: https://t.co/9mjA271hGg

[FINN @FINNbe]

Indeed, Europe demands great efforts from companies to set up a clear ESG reporting process. Discover in our webinar how you, as a company or communication specialist, can get started with the initial preparations or take your existing reporting to the next level.

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) ensures that corporate sustainability becomes quantitatively measurable. 🔎 To this end, the new EU legislation relies on three 'pillars': the European Sustainable Reporting Standard (ESRS), the new EU taxonomy and the SBTi.

These personal crises are overwhelming and are different from corporate crises. Learn how to approach a scandal as an individual in our latest blog >> https://t.co/MGhBKvRsrn

[FINN @FINNbe]

Individuals facing a personal scandal experience an 'asymmetrical' burden of proof. The accused must prove their innocence, which is a very high and sometimes impossible bar to clear. It is not enough to create 'reasonable doubt'.

🔥 The reason for this burden is a moral outrage

[FINN @FINNbe]

Research has shown that this outrage triggers an overwhelming need to punish the offender. This explains why (perceived) transgressors feel they are being subjected to a 'trial by media' 📰📸

The obligations imposed by the CSRD result in the set up of new systems for data collection and analysis to meet reporting requirements. You could say that almost every department of your company has to provide data for your ESG report. 📊

[FINN @FINNbe]

This asks for an organisation wide preparation by setting up a team that carefully works out which aspects your company should include in its ESG report, and work out the necessary processes in advance.
