Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) Consulting
Providing Strategic Advisory and Sustainability Reporting Services
Helping companies meet the EU’s new sustainability legislation
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a pivotal EU legislation effective since January 2023, impacting over 50,000 companies operating within or headquartered in the EU.
This directive mandates the disclosure of non-financial data alongside financial information in annual reports, thereby enhancing transparency and accountability in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance evaluations.
The goal of the CSRD is to advance towards a decarbonized economy, promote decarbonization opportunities, and recognize proactive organizational efforts.

CSRD and ESRS at a Glance
The CSRD introduced the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which affected companies must follow when reporting on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. The set of 12 standards covers general requirements and disclosures applicable to all reporting entities - ESRS1 & 2 - along with ESRS E1-E5 for reporting material environmental disclosures, ESRS S1 – S4 for reporting social disclosures, and one standard covering corporate governance - ESRS G1.
ESRS standards have been developed with interoperability across common global reporting frameworks, such as GRI and SASB. The goal of sustainability disclosures is to offer comparable data so investors, the public and other stakeholders can make more informed decisions.
Which companies will be required to report under CSRD?
CSRD will affect roughly 50,000 companies, including those with headquarters outside the EU but with subsidiaries operating within the EU market or substantial business activity within the EU.
A number of factors determine which companies must report under CSRD, including financial thresholds, like annual net revenue, total assets held within the EU, total number of employees, and, for companies listed and trading in a regulated EU market, the amount of debt and equity securities.
