The European Commission’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) signals a significant shift in sustainability reporting practices. Learn more about whether you are affected, the six steps you have to take to translate the new requirements into action, and how we can support you on the way.

What’s Happening

The CSRD significantly changes how companies disclose sustainability efforts. It mandates reporting for a wider range of companies, moving from voluntary to compulsory disclosure. This impacts companies of all sizes, from large corporations to medium-sized enterprises and supply chain partners.

This shift requires immediate attention and strategic planning to ensure compliance and seize the opportunities it offers. Essentially, the CSRD is not just about compliance—it’s about shaping the future of sustainable business practices in the EU. It presents an opportunity for companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, enhance their reputation, and stay competitive in an increasingly environmentally and socially conscious market.

What It Means for Companies

The CSRD broadens the scope of companies covered by sustainability reporting and transitions from voluntary to mandatory disclosure. Companies will now be held accountable for their sustainability efforts in a more transparent and standardized manner. Utilizing the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) framework, companies will need to provide comprehensive and reliable sustainability information, ensuring consistency and comparability in reporting.
