CSRD
Implementing CSRD solutions
What is the CSRD?
The CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) is the cornerstone regulation for corporate sustainability in Europe. It extends ESG reporting obligations to approximately 50,000 companies, including large enterprises, listed SMEs, and non-EU companies operating in Europe above a certain revenue threshold.
As part of the European Green Deal, it aims to ensure greater transparency and standardization through the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards).
CSRD: data quality through stakeholder engagement
Key pillars of stakeholder engagement:
Active involvement
through surveys, feedback collection, sustainability training, and generation of real positive impacts
Detailed reporting
of sustainability risks and opportunities (ROI), with a focus on stakeholder engagement across the value chain
Double materiality:
evaluating both the company's impact on society and the environment (inside-out) and vice versa (outside-in)
Stakeholder mapping
of relevant groups: employees, consumers, suppliers, local communities
