<h3>Federal Council Proposes to Align Current Rules With the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive</h3>
<p>On June 26, 2024, the Swiss Federal Council opened a consultation process regarding potentially stricter corporate sustainability reporting for Swiss companies. The proposed amendment (the <strong>Draft Amendment</strong>) of articles 964a &#8211; 964c of the Swiss Code of Obligations (<strong>CO</strong>) is intended to bring the current Swiss non-financial matter reporting provisions in line with the EU Directive 2022/2464 of December 14, 2022 on corporate sustainability reporting (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, <strong>CSRD</strong>). The consultation process lasts until October 31, 2024.</p>
<p>Rather than fully replicate the CSRD, the Federal Council has proposed modifying the existing reporting requirements on non-financial matters under the CO, including by broadening its scope of application, with the effect that more companies will be required to prepare and publish a report on sustainability aspects. According to the Federal Council, whereas the existing reporting obligations affect around 300 companies, the proposed rules would obligate approximately 3,500 companies to report on risks relating to the environment, human rights, and corruption, and the measures they are taking to mitigate these risks.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a></p>
<p>The main changes proposed by the Draft Amendment are summarized in the table under Section A, followed by a more detailed discussion of key aspects of the Draft Amendment.</p>

<h3>B. Key Aspects of the Draft Amendment</h3>
<h4>1. Extended Scope</h4>
<p>The proposed modified sustainability reporting provisions would apply to the following entities:</p>
<ol>
<li>«Public interest entities» (<em>Gesellschaften des öffentlichen Interesses</em>);</li>
<li>Companies that exceed two of the following figures in two consecutive financial years: (i) total assets of CHF 25 million; (ii) revenue of CHF 50 million; (iii) 250 full-time employee positions per year on average;</li>
<li>Companies obliged to prepare consolidated financial statements and that exceed two of the thresholds in (b) above in two consecutive financial years.</li>
</ol>
<p>As of today, only «public interest entities» with at least 500 full-time equivalents on annual average in two consecutive financial years that exceed either the relevant balance sheet total (CHF 20 million) or revenue threshold (CHF 40 million) in two consecutive financial years are subject to the non-financial matters reporting requirements.</p>
<p>Under the Draft Amendment, «public interest entities» are generally subject to the new reporting requirement, regardless of whether they meet any of the quantitative thresholds described in item (b) above, unless they qualify as an exempted small company (as further described below). In addition, any company, irrespective of whether it qualifies as a «public interest entity», that satisfies two of the three quantitative thresholds described in item (b) above on a standalone or a consolidated basis would also have to establish a sustainability report. The Draft Amendment also contemplates reducing the «full-time equivalents» from 500 to 250.</p>
<p>Companies that would otherwise have to report but are controlled by another company that prepares a Swiss law sustainability report or an equivalent report under foreign law are exempt. Also exempt are small companies that alone or together with domestic or foreign companies that they control do not exceed two of the applicable thresholds (viz. total assets of CHF 450,000, sales revenue of CHF 900,000, 10 full-time employees on annual average in two consecutive years).</p>
<h4>2. Annual Sustainability Report: Format</h4>
<p>Companies subject to the Draft Amendment would continue to be obliged to produce an annual sustainability report. The annual sustainability report may be prepared as a separate report or, in alignment with the CSRD, it may be integrated into the management report pursuant to article 961c CO. The report must be in an electronic reporting format established in accordance with an internationally recognized standard, namely the one used by the EU member states.</p>
<h4>3. Reporting Requirements</h4>
<p>Compared to the existing non-financial matter reporting, the Draft Amendment further expands and specifies the scope of the information on sustainability. The current law&#8217;s terminology would largely be replaced with new terms that have a similar meaning. The information to be reported on is described as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Environmental factors (<em>e.g.</em>, climate protection &#8211; including greenhouse gas emissions, water and marine resources, resource utilization and the circular economy, soil, water, and air pollution, and biodiversity and ecosystems &#8211; as well as human health and safety and the use of renewable and non-renewable energy, including exposure to coal and oil-and gas-related activities);</li>
<li>Social aspects, including employee matters (<em>e.g.</em>, measures to protect various interest groups (such as shareholders, employees, and customers), working conditions, diversity, measures against violence and harassment, disability accommodations, and work-life balance);</li>
<li>Human rights aspects; and</li>
<li>Governance aspects (<em>e.g.</em>, the role of the board of directors and management in respect of sustainability aspects, the strategy for linking incentives for board and management members to sustainability aspects, internal controls and risk management systems related to sustainability, policies and measures to combat corruption).</li>
</ul>
<p>In line with the reporting requirements under the Federal Ordinance on Reporting on Climate of November 23, 2022, which became effective on January 1, 2024, the Draft Amendment requires in-scope companies to report on the statues regarding achieving the net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This will include reporting on Scope 1, Scope 2 and, where applicable, Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the current GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.</p>
<p>The Draft Amendment would also expressly require reporting on governance matters, beyond reporting on the combat of corruption.</p>
<p>Like the existing law, the Draft Amendment continues to list specific sustainability aspects that must be described in the report in more detail, such as the company&#8217;s business model and strategy, applied due diligence processes in respect of sustainability aspects, material risks the company faces with respect to sustainability aspects or material financial, and non-financial performance indicators. However, the list included in the Draft Amendment adds new items, such as a description of the time-bound sustainability targets that the company has set itself, a description of the role of the board of directors in relation to sustainability, or information on any incentive systems linked to sustainability that are offered to directors and executives.</p>
<p>The most significant change to current non-financial matter reporting is that all information must be provided in compliance with the standards used in the EU (<em>i.e.</em>, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)) or another equivalent standard for sustainability reporting (the explanatory report also mentions the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards or the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as examples). The selected standard must be adopted in its entirety. The Federal Council will designate the standards that are equivalent to the ESRS in an ordinance.</p>
<p>Under the Draft Amendment, the applicable standard will be determined by the board of directors; however, the standard may also be determined based on a shareholder vote at a general meeting.</p>
<p>Further information regarding the specific reporting matters is available in the Federal Council&#8217;s related explanatory report.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a></p>
<h4>4. Double Materiality Principle</h4>
<p>The Draft Amendment clearly establishes the principle of «dual materiality» in line with the CSRD. The sustainability report must therefore disclose the information necessary to understand the impact of the company&#8217;s activities on sustainability issues and the impact of sustainability issues on the company&#8217;s business, financial performance, and position.</p>
<p>In contrast with the current law, in which the principle of «double materiality» already applies, the proposed draft seeks to clarify that, in accordance with EU law, information must be disclosed that is material under both aspects as well as information that is material under only one aspect.</p>
<h4>5. «Comply or Explain»</h4>
<p>The option available under the current law to waive reporting on certain sustainability topics under certain conditions («comply or explain») would no longer be available under the Draft Amendment. The «comply or explain» approach is also not available under the CSRD framework.</p>
<h4>6. New Auditing and Assurance Requirements</h4>
<p>The current law does not impose any audit or assurance requirements on the reporting of non-financial matters. By contrast, under the Draft Amendment, the sustainability information included in the report must be made subject to assurance. Either independent audit firms<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a> or conformity assessment bodies (<em>Prüfgesellschaft</em>) may provide assurance.</p>
<p>The Federal Council will determine, taking into account international developments, including EU law, whether any assurances from audit or conformity assessment bodies should take the form of a «positive» / reasonable assurance or a «negative» / limited assurance. The EU contemplates introducing a positive reasonable assurance requirement by October 1, 2028.</p>
<p>In addition, in respect of companies subject to an ordinary audit pursuant to article 728a CO, the Draft Amendment would require the statutory auditor to conduct an audit on whether there are material inconsistencies between the information in the sustainability report and the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements. This audit review does not include a material audit of the accuracy of completeness of the information published in the sustainability report.</p>
<h4>7. Shareholder Vote</h4>
<p>The Draft Amendment maintains the requirement that the sustainability report be approved by shareholders at each annual general meeting. The CSRD does not require shareholder approval of sustainability reports. The explanatory report to the Draft Amendment expressly states that the shareholder vote on the sustainability report is binding, and not advisory, contrary to the currently prevailing practice under the existing law.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a></p>
<h4>8. Criminal Law Provisions</h4>
<p>The criminal law sanctions for an inaccurate or incomplete report remain unchanged in substance. A fine of up to CHF 100,000 will be imposed on anyone who intentionally makes false statements in the reports, fails to make the required reports, or fails to comply with the legal obligation to keep and store the report.</p>
<h4>9. Timeline</h4>
<p>The Federal Council will determine the date on which the new provisions become effective. Companies will then have two years to adapt to the new law. During this two-year transition period, the current law will apply.</p>

Swiss Corporate Sustainability Reporting

<h3>Implications for Swiss Companies</h3>
<p>On May 24, 2024, the Council of the EU adopted the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The Directive, which is part of the EU&#8217;s transition to a climate-neutral and green economy, lays down rules to ensure that companies operating in the EU respect human rights and the environment throughout their operations and value chains.</p>
<p>The Directive represents a significant shift in the EU regulatory framework on sustainable corporate governance, and will have a substantial impact on Swiss companies that operate in the EU market or that are part of a group that does. We summarize the Directive&#8217;s main features and highlight the implications for affected Swiss companies.</p>
<h3>A. Scope</h3>
<p>The Directive applies extraterritorially to non-EU companies with annual net turnover exceeding €450 million in the EU (or the ultimate parent company of a group that reaches this threshold). It also covers EU and non-EU franchisors and licensors (or the ultimate parent company of a group) with annual royalties over €22.5 million and a net EU turnover exceeding €80 million.</p>
<p>Additionally, Swiss companies not directly covered may also be impacted indirectly as business partners of upstream or downstream in-scope entities.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> In-scope financial institutions, for example, are required to conduct due diligence on their own operations and upstream business partners, such as investors, but not downstream business partners, such as borrowers.</p>
<p>Swiss companies that fall within these categories, are part of a group that does, or do business with in-scope entities, will be, directly or indirectly, subject to the Directive&#8217;s obligations.</p>
<h3>B. Obligations</h3>
<p>In-scope companies must integrate risk-based due diligence into their policies and risk management systems, covering both human rights and environmental impacts. These obligations are more detailed than and go beyond the due diligence obligations in the Swiss Ordinance on Due Diligence and Transparency, which are limited to child labor and certain minerals and metals.</p>
<p>The core due diligence obligations in the Directive include identifying and assessing actual and potential adverse human rights and environmental impacts, preventing and mitigating these impacts, monitoring effectiveness, and providing remediation.</p>
<p>In addition, in-scope companies must implement a climate transition plan, aligned with the Paris Agreement&#8217;s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, and including time-bound and science-based targets for 2030 and five-year steps up to 2050. Companies must develop actions to achieve these targets and update their transition plans annually.</p>
<p>The Directive also requires companies to communicate publicly regarding their due diligence efforts, with annual statements on their websites, and to engage with stakeholders, establish a notification mechanism and complaints procedure, and monitor the effectiveness of their due diligence measures.</p>
<h3>C. Penalties for Non-compliance</h3>
<p>Member States will impose pecuniary and non-pecuniary penalties for breaches. Maximum fines shall be not less than 5 percent of net worldwide turnover in the preceding financial year. Non-compliant companies may also be barred from participating in public contracts and tenders, and authorities may publicly «name and shame» companies that fail to meet due diligence obligations.</p>
<p>Companies may also be liable for civil damages if their failure to conduct proper due diligence harms people or the environment. This reverses the typical burden of proof in favor of claimants, who may be individuals, groups, or organizations affected by the adverse impacts. The statute of limitations for such civil claims is five years, or not lower than the minimum period under national regimes for general civil liability.</p>
<h3>D. Compliance Timeline</h3>
<p>The Directive will enter into force twenty days after its official publication in the EU&#8217;s Official Journal, after which Member States will have two years to transpose the Directive into national laws.</p>
<p>For in-scope non-EU companies, compliance and reporting obligations will phase in depending on size and turnover. For those with annual net EU turnover exceeding €1.5 billion, compliance will begin three years after entry into force (2027); more than €900 million, after four years (2028); more than €450 million, after five years (2029).</p>
<h3>E. Next Steps</h3>
<p>Swiss companies potentially within the Directive&#8217;s scope should assess their current policies and practices against the Directive&#8217;s requirements and prepare to implement the necessary due diligence measures and transition plans. All Swiss companies should evaluate their role in the value chain of in-scope companies and anticipate potential requests for information or cooperation from their business partners.</p>
<p>Swiss companies should also monitor the development and implementation of the Directive&#8217;s requirements and further guidance from the EU, as well as the possible further development of due diligence legislation in Switzerland.</p>
<h6><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1">[1]</a> In-scope EU entities include companies formed under the laws of a Member State that have over 1,000 employees on average during the course of a financial year and an annual net worldwide turnover exceeding €450 million.</h6>


EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive 

<p>During the summer break, the Issuers Committee of SIX Exchange Regulation (<strong>SER</strong>) updated its Circular No. 1 (<strong>Circular No. 1</strong>) on ad hoc publicity. The updates of June 28, 2023 relate mainly to the duty to label ad hoc announcements as such («flagging») and the content of ad hoc announcements. Similarly, SER has published several communiqués over the course of the last year providing guidance on its practice and interpretation of the applicable rules.</p>
<p>Under the ad hoc publicity rules, ad hoc announcements must be «flagged» as such. The <strong>updated Circular No. 1</strong> reiterated the principle that it is not permitted to flag «pure marketing announcements» or mere repetitions of previously published price-sensitive facts as ad hoc announcements. In addition, the Circular No. 1 introduced a new paragraph stating that the «mixing of price-sensitive facts with pure marketing announcements in an ad hoc announcement is not permitted». These statements raise a number of important questions, which we will discuss below.</p>
<p>Relatedly, <strong>SER&#8217;s Communiqué 4/2022</strong> dated July 7, 2022 pointed out that «important» facts such as updates to the financial calendar or invitations to and results of general shareholders meetings must not be published as ad hoc announcements unless those facts are indeed price-sensitive, which must be assessed by the issuer in an <em>ex ante</em> case-by-case analysis. For example, the results of a general shareholders meeting that approves all non-controversial proposals of the board of directors are – absent special circumstances – not price-sensitive and must therefore not be published as an ad hoc announcement.</p>
<p>There are several <strong>key take-aways</strong> from the above:</p>
<ol>
<li>As regards the scope of ad hoc announcements, SER seems to be raising the bar. The old practitioner&#8217;s rule of «in doubt, pro ad hoc» no longer applies. Information, even if it is important for all market participants, must not be disseminated in an ad hoc announcement unless the issuer concludes <em>ex ante</em> that the information in this specific case qualifies as price-sensitive fact as defined in the SIX rules.
<ol>
<li>It may no longer be permissible to include both price-sensitive facts and other information in the same ad hoc announcement (no «mixing»).</li>
<li>While the updated Circular No. 1 declares the mixing of a pure marketing announcement with price-sensitive facts to be inadmissible, we believe that a more differentiated approach is warranted. The content of ad hoc announcements must comply with the SIX rules, which provide that ad hoc announcements must not only be factual and clear, but also complete, and be «formulated in such a way that the reasonable market participant can form an opinion as to the extent to which the content is price-sensitive» (15 paras. 1 and 2 Directive Ad hoc Publicity, DAH).</li>
<li>Accordingly, any additional information in the ad hoc announcement that is necessary or helpful for the market participant to analyze and comprehend the price-sensitive fact must be permissible. Such additional information must have a factual connection (<em>Sachzusammenhang</em>) with the price-sensitive fact and allow market participants to fully assess the content of the ad hoc announcement without recourse to other sources.</li>
<li>To give a few examples, in line with the above principle, earnings releases may contain prose commentary (be it a quote from the CEO or otherwise) or detailed financial information in addition to the price-sensitive headline figures. Ad hoc announcements of M&amp;A transactions may contain background information as to the transaction, its rationale and expected benefits, the parties involved etc. Finally, ad hoc announcements of clinical trial results may contain detailed information on the relevant study and product, its benefits for the patients, potential indications etc. The general «about [issuer]», «about [counterparty]» or «about [product]» information, «for more information» or similar links, contact details, information on upcoming investor relations or other key dates as well as similar information at the bottom of press releases may in our view also continue to be included in ad hoc releases.</li>
<li>Financial announcements such as the annual results that are «per se» price-sensitive (art. 4 para. 2 DAH) may contain all information that is also included in the report, whether or not this particular information is in fact price-sensitive.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Announcing two or more price-sensitive facts in one ad hoc announcement continues to be permissible. For example, a transaction signed on the same date as the earnings release may be announced in (or together with) the earnings release.</li>
<li>While a mere repetition of price-sensitive facts that have already been disseminated in an ad hoc announcement is – of course – not permitted, it is still permissible to repeat such facts in subsequent ad hoc announcements about new price-sensitive facts if necessary or helpful for the context. For example, an ad hoc announcement of the (price-sensitive) closing of a transaction may again include the key facts already published in the ad hoc announcement of the signing.</li>
<li>Although the Circular No. 1 now states that the flag «must show the wording specified in the LR», i.e., «Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR», it continues to be permissible to spell out the referenced legal basis (e.g., «Listing Rules» instead of «LR») or include a reference to the SIX Swiss Exchange (which may be helpful for companies with multiple listings). Accordingly, SER has not amended its FAQ dated January 1, 2022 on this point.</li>
</ol>
<p>Overall, issuers will have to <strong>analyze (more) carefully</strong> in the future what information can (or must) be included in ad hoc announcements and what information must be published in separate «normal» press releases.</p>
