CSRD is looming and the scope is wide. Across the next 4 years, some 50,000 companies will find themselves in scope for these new reporting requirements, and this doesn’t just apply to listed EU companies. It captures private companies and non-EU companies who generate a certain level of revenue from the EU.

CSRD will take effect in phases, the first of which is already in force for companies already in scope for NFRD.

What is CSRD?

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) entered into force on 5th January 2023. This directive updates the rules relating to the environmental and social information that companies are required to report (replacing the EU’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive (“NFRD”)). The goal is to close the gap between financial and sustainability reporting and data. Companies subject to CSRD are required to report in line with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (“ESRS”). The ESRS were developed by an independent body bringing together different stakeholders called the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (“EFRAG”).

EU law requires all large companies and all listed companies (except listed micro-enterprises) to disclose information on what they see as the risks and opportunities arising from social and environmental issues, and on the impact of their activities on people and the environment.

This helps investors, civil society organisations, consumers and other stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability performance of companies, as part of the European green deal.
