CSRD - Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING DIRECTIVE - GET ON BOARD BEFORE THE TRAIN LEAVES
NOTICE:
For Q1 2025, the EU Commission has announced an "Omnibus Package," which would have far-reaching consequences for the CSRD. The EU Commission’s proposal was published on February 26, 2025. However, its adoption into binding law still requires approval from the European Council and the EU Parliament. Please note that our documents and information are always based on the currently applicable legal framework (as of 02-2025).
Since 2024, many companies in the EU have been required to provide comprehensive reporting on their sustainability strategy and performance under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The sustainability report has become an audit-relevant part of the annual report. Initially, this obligation applied only to large publicly traded companies and financial institutions. However, from 2025 onwards, all large companies will be required to report on sustainability. By 2028 at the latest, publicly traded SMEs will also be subject to CSRD requirements.
How does the CSRD impact businesses?
By mandating transparency, the CSRD aims to strengthen sustainability discipline within the European economy. Similar to banking regulations, where transparency contributed to financial stability, it is expected that public disclosure of comprehensive ESG reports will increase the pressure on companies to operate sustainably.
