DLG meets CSRD – Driving Sustainable Transformation in Crop Farming

At SoS.25, the dedicated track “DLG meets CSRD – Shaping the Future of Sustainable Crop Farming” brought together key players from agriculture, food production, finance, and compliance to discuss how regulation and sustainability are reshaping the sector.

Freya von Czettritz (CEO, DLG) opened the session with a strong commitment to future-proof farming.

Dr. Lina Sofie von Fricken (Big Dutchman) outlined the growing ESG regulatory landscape—from CSRD to EUDR and CBAM—and its relevance for agri-businesses. Her key message: sustainability is no longer a “nice-to-have” but our license to operate.
