CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING DIRECTIVE (CSRD)
What is CSRD?
Join the wave of sustainability reporting revolutionised by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
The EU is aligning sustainability reporting with financial reporting, marking a pivotal shift in corporate transparency.
CSRD mandates companies to disclose the impact of sustainability factors, such as climate change, on their operations and how their activities influence society and the environment.
This groundbreaking approach, termed 'double materiality', sets the stage for a more conscientious business landscape.

Companies listed on EU-regulated markets, excluding micro-enterprises.
Large companies meeting specific criteria.
Listed SMEs with an option to defer compliance until 2028.

How will businesses be affected?
Prepare for comprehensive sustainability reporting covering environmental, social, and governance aspects. Your reports must address:
Environmental stewardship, including science-based targets and climate risk assessments.
Social responsibilities and employee welfare.
Human rights considerations.
Anti-corruption measures.
Diversity in corporate governance.
Reports should offer both qualitative and quantitative insights, spanning short, medium, and long-term perspectives. Furthermore, mandatory assurance by independent providers ensures the accuracy and reliability of your disclosures.
What Are the Timescales?
CSRD implementation unfolds in four stages:
2024: For companies already complying with the NFRD.
2025: For large companies new to sustainability reporting.
2026: For listed SMEs and non-complex credit institutions.
2028: Deadline for third-country undertakings with substantial EU operations.
