The Chief of Staff (CoS) must ensure that ESG work complies with both Swedish legislation, such as the Annual Reporting Act and occupational safety and health laws, as well as EU regulations such as the CSRD and the EU taxonomy. This means that the CoS needs to have a thorough understanding of current legal requirements and ensure that these are integrated into the company's processes and reporting. The CoS is responsible for coordinating the work between different departments, ensuring that the right data is collected and that the reporting is accurate and transparent. In Sweden, it is also important to involve trade union representatives and other stakeholders in ESG work, to ensure legitimacy and anchoring. The CoS should regularly monitor compliance with legal requirements and update internal guidelines in the event of changes in the regulatory framework. By combining legal compliance with an inclusive working method, the CoS can create ESG work that is both legal and credible.
