CSRD Reporting Requirements | What Your Business Needs to Report

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires businesses to provide far more detailed ESG disclosures than ever before. If your company falls under CSRD, here is exactly what you need to report.

Key Reporting Areas

Under CSRD, companies must disclose sustainability information across four key areas:

1. Governance

Board and leadership responsibility for sustainability
ESG risk management processes
Ethics, anti corruption, and bribery policies

2. Strategy & Business Model

How sustainability factors affect your business model
Climate related risks and opportunities
Plans for reducing carbon emissions

3. Sustainability Impacts, Risks & Opportunities

Carbon footprint (Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions)
Energy use, water consumption, and waste management
Social and employee related matters (diversity, human rights, working conditions)

4. Performance Metrics & Targets

Sustainability KPIs aligned with EU climate goals
Science based targets for emissions reduction
Progress towards ESG goals over time

How You Need to Report

CSRD reporting follows the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). That means:

Consistency across industries
Quantifiable and verifiable ESG data
Integration with financial reporting

Your CSRD report must also be:

Digitally accessible
Externally audited for accuracy

When Does CSRD Reporting Start?

CSRD reporting is phased in over several years:

2024 → Large companies already covered by NFRD
2025 → Other large companies (250+ employees, €40m+ turnover)
2026 → Listed SMEs
2028 → Non EU companies with significant EU operations
