CSRD assurance requirements are approaching, and organizations are advancing their readiness for external audit and assurance. In our previous webinar ‘Preparing for CSRD Mandatory Assurance: What Companies Need to Do Now’, we outlined the foundational elements relevant to CSRD audit preparedness.

This session will focus on key CSRD metrics from an assurance perspective, highlighting common reporting challenges and areas where deficiencies are frequently identified during audits. We will also examine typical issues related to supporting documentation and disclosures, including the nature and extent of evidence expected to support reported information across selected metrics.

This webinar is intended to provide an audit-focused perspective on complex metrics and disclosures, with emphasis on factors that may impact the completeness, accuracy, and auditability of reported information.

A live Q&A session will follow the presentation.

New corporate venture capital platform will invest to advance therapeutics, technologies and One Health solutions 

INDIANAPOLIS, June 19, 2026 /3BL/ – Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) today announced plans to establish Elanco Ventures, a dedicated corporate venture capital (CVC) platform designed to support, invest and advance innovation in animal health.

To be backed by a $25 million multi-year commitment, Elanco Ventures will initially focus on strategic investments in therapeutic advancements and supportive technologies across the animal health sector.

“From pets to protein – the animal health industry has never been more relevant than it is today,” said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO of Elanco. “Innovation is happening outside of the boundaries of any single company. Elanco Ventures allows us to strategically leverage the startup landscape to expand our visibility into a range of emerging technologies that help us meet pet owners’ evolving expectation of care and the increasing global demand for protein.”

While primarily focused on animal health, the fund may also explore opportunities within the broader One Health landscape. It will also leverage the proximity of partnerships within the One Health Innovation District in Indianapolis, anchored by Elanco and Purdue University, and designed to bring together life sciences, researchers, and entrepreneurs in one place to break innovation barriers and accelerate progress.

“Elanco Ventures embodies our commitment to partnership and innovation,” said Tim Bettington, Executive Vice President, Center of Strategic Growth at Elanco. “By identifying promising startup technologies and collaborating with the One Health Innovation District, we are better positioned to fast-track innovation that can redefine the future of animal health.”

Launching in late 2026, Elanco Ventures will be overseen by Eric Steager, an experienced CVC leader, and focus on early-stage companies, prioritizing Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A stages of development.

At Tapestry, we want our people to bring their best selves to work. When we feel supported, we’re better able to think boldly, innovate, and create exceptional experiences and products for our consumers. That’s why supporting well-being — including mental health — is such an important part of how we care for our people.

Since 2018, Mental Health First Aid Certification (MHFA) has helped nearly 1,000 Tapestry team members around the world develop skills they can use to care for their own mental health and foster a more connected, caring workplace.

As part of the relationship with National Council, Tapestry became the first organization to adopt MHFA at Work for Retail, a retail-specific training model. Learn more about our partnership through this case study.

More from our Mental Health First Aiders:

“Past experiences motivated me to learn Mental Health First Aid, where I developed skills to recognize early signs, listen actively, and respond with empathy without judgment. Importantly, I’ve learned not to trivialize potential signs for help. I believe MHFA in the workplace can raise awareness, support employees, and reduce stigma, ensuring no one has to face mental health challenges alone.” — Mark Gan, Service Delivery, Retail Tapestry, APAC

“Being a Mental Health First Aider is one of the most fulfilling roles I’ve ever taken on. I’m helping to break down stigma and create a culture where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. Every conversation, no matter how small, is a step toward building a more compassionate and supportive environment. That’s what makes this role so special — it’s about human connection, kindness, and the courage to care.” — Rupa Jandu, Executive Assistant & EU Special Projects Executive, EMEAI
