What is the CSRD?
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires large companies operating in the European Union to publish structured, comparable and reliable ESG data.
It aims to enhance the transparency, comparability and reliability of sustainability information, in order to inform economic decisions.
It aims to:

CSRD reporting is based on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, (ESRS).

Double Materiality Explained Simply
The double materiality assessment is a mandatory requirement under the CSRD and the ESRS. It determines which ESG topics are material and must be disclosed in your sustainability report.
It is based on two complementary dimensions:
Impact materiality
Assessment of how your company’s activities impact the environment and society, including climate change, biodiversity, human rights and value chain impacts.
Financial materiality
Evaluation of how sustainability risks and opportunities may affect your financial performance, cash flows, access to capital and long term economic resilience.
The assessment must be formally validated, traceable and reviewed at each reporting cycle to ensure regulatory compliance and reporting consistency.
