Understanding the CSRD

By 2025, over 50.000 companies worldwide will be required to disclose their sustainability impacts under an upcoming EU regulation. This regulation isn’t just about compliance, it is about transforming the way the value chain operates globally.

What is the CSRD?

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a recent EU regulation requiring extensive sustainability reporting from large companies on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspects. All companies that fall within this regulation will follow the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), thereby proving a first crucial step towards more transparency and a sustainable global economy.

Why do we need change?

Our planet is facing significant environmental challenges: the climate is changing, we are depleting natural resources at an unsustainable rate, and chemical run-off from fertilizers have been linked to human health issues.

Why does the CSRD matter?

The (CSRD) is not just another regulatory requirement; it represents a fundamental shift towards sustainability and transparency within the corporate landscape, the CSRD compels corporations to integrate sustainability objectives into their core operations, thereby enhancing their overall efficiency and resilience.

  • Transparency: Central to the CSRD is the emphasis on transparency as the foundational element for transitioning towards a more environmentally and socially conscious global economy, rather than offering instant performance feedback.
  • Driving Towards a Sustainable Future: It encourages companies to adopt proactive measures towards reducing their environmental footprint, improving social impacts, and fostering ethical governance practices. By embracing these principles, businesses not only meet regulatory requirements but also position themselves as leaders in sustainability, attracting conscientious consumers and investors alike
