De leercurve van CSRD-rapportages
11 September 2026
Inzichten uit aanpassingen en verbeteringen op basis van 94 duurzaamheidsverslagen.
Uit onze analyse van 94 duurzaamheidsverslagen over 2025 blijkt dat veel organisaties hun rapportages hebben aangepast ten opzichte van eerdere jaren. Die wijzigingen zijn meestal niet terug te voeren op fouten in eerdere rapportages. Ze hangen vaker samen met nieuwe inzichten, een betere onderbouwing van cijfers of een aangescherpte interpretatie van de rapportagevereisten. Vergeleken met eerdere rapportages zien we dat organisaties hun duurzaamheidsinformatie beter onderbouwen en scherper afbakenen. In dit artikel bespreken we waar de meeste aanpassingen plaatsvinden en wat deze ontwikkelingen zeggen over de verdere ontwikkeling van duurzaamheidsrapportage.

NIS2 is not an IT project: why boards and senior management must take the lead
9 September 2026
Cybersecurity is still too often regarded as a technical issue. Firewalls, backups, monitoring and access management are important, but under NIS2 this is no longer sufficient. The Dutch Cybersecurity Act (Cyberbeveiligingswet, Cbw), through which the Netherlands is implementing NIS2 into national law, explicitly makes cyber resilience part of governance, risk management and oversight, as we discussed earlier in this series.
This means that NIS2 does not belong solely on the IT department’s desk. Boards and senior management must understand the cyber risks facing the organisation, which measures are required, and how it is determined whether those measures are actually effective.

New packaging rules restrict access to EU market
20 August 2026
On 12 August 2026, key provisions of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) entered into force. The PPWR introduces requirements for all packaging placed on the EU market, whether supplied separately or as part of a packaged product.
As an EU Regulation, the PPWR applies directly in all Member States. Existing national provisions on packaging and packaging materials remain applicable to the extent that they do not conflict with the PPWR.
The Regulation is relevant to any business that manufactures, imports, distributes, or otherwise places packaging or packaged products on the EU market.

Assessment of employment relationships further clarified: new assessment framework published
31 July 2026
The classification of employment relationships in the engagement of self-employed professionals has been the subject of significant attention in recent years. Since the Dutch Tax Administration published its assessment framework for employment relationships at the end of 2024, several developments have provided further insight into how such relationships should be evaluated. Together, the Supreme Court’s recent Uber ruling, the subsequent guidance issued by the Dutch Tax Administration, and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment’s newly published Assessment Framework for Employment Relationships represent the latest developments in this evolving area.
