Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)

The CSRD will extend existing rules on non-financial reporting and require the publication of a standardized sustainability report from 2024. Annual reports must then also show the impact of corporate activities on sustainability aspects. To fulfill the reporting requirements, companies need sustainability data from their supply chain.

With the sustainabill cloud platform, you automatically capture all necessary sustainability data of the supply chain and receive reporting metrics for the supply chain at the push of a button.

The cornerstones of the CSRD

Scope

Unternehmen

From January 2024, the directive will affect all large European companies as well as companies based outside Europe with a turnover of more than €150 million in the EU. SMEs will be affected gradually from 2025. In total, around 50,000 companies in Europe are impacted by the directive.

Responsibilities

Checkmark

In addition to detailed information on the company’s own business model and corporate strategy, the CSRD requires additional information on potential risks along the supply chain and measures taken in this regard.

Publication

Reporting

Companies affected by the CSRD are required to publish their sustainability reports in a separate section of the management report no later than four months after the end of the financial year. The report must also be externally reviewed prior to publication.

Which contents does the CSRD cover?

The existing CSRD standardizes sustainability reporting and introduces mandatory European reporting standards (ESRS), which have been aligned with the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the EU taxonomy. Companies must add a non-financial statement to their management report. The CSRD embeds the concept of double materiality. This means that companies must not only include sustainability risks that affect their economic performance in their reporting, but also risks that also have a negative impact on people and the environment. Accordingly, detailed information on sustainability targets and key figures must be reported.

Reporting on the EU’s six environmental objectives

  • Climate action
  • Adaptation to climate change
  • Water and marine resources
  • Circular economy
  • Environmental pollution
  • Biodiversity and ecosystems

Reporting on societal or social aspects

  • Working conditions
  • Respect for human rights
  • Equal opportunities

Reporting on governance aspects

  • Internal control and risk management systems
  • Corporate ethics and culture, including anti-corruption and anti-bribery measures
  • Role of the company’s administrative, performance and supervisory bodies

Implementing key requirements of the CSRD with sustainabill

With the CSRD, the topic of sustainability in the supply chain becomes even more relevant, as companies would now also have to report resiliently on CO2 emissions as well as sustainability risks in the supply chain. With sustainabill, you can holistically cover all sustainability aspects in your supply chain. Collect the required data in the supply chain with minimal effort, monitor your suppliers and receive the required reporting key figures for GRI and CSRD at the push of a button.

The CSRD requires a report on the performance of risk analyses and the implementation of preventive and remedial measures. With sustainabill, you can implement risk analyses in a holistic and resource-efficient way – starting with our risk check as a basis for the subsequent risk analysis and ending with the derivation of preventive and remedial measures. The approach is 100% compliant with other due diligence requirements such as the German Supply Chain Act or the UK Modern Slavery Act.
