CSRD Compliance and Sustainability Reporting under ESRS

Structure your CSRD reporting, conduct your double materiality assessment and prepare your organisation for ESRS compliance.

Turn regulatory obligation into strategic leverage.

CSRD is not just about reporting.
It is about structuring reliable ESG data, aligning leadership and strengthening long term resilience.

It requires companies to assess double materiality, strengthen governance and integrate ESG risks into core decision making.
Done properly, CSRD enhances credibility with investors, regulators and financial institutions across Europe.

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:

  • Improve transparency

  • Create a virtuous circle to increase investments for sustainable transition within the European Union.

  • Reduce greenwashing

  • Support sustainable investment decisions

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

Is your company concerned ?


You are concerned if: 

  • You exceed 1000 employees and 450M€ turnover

  • You are part of a large group subject to CSRD

  • You are requested to provide ESG data by clients or investors

Application timeline: reporting in 2028 for financial year 2027 for companies above thresholds so preparation in 2026.

What does the CSRD require?

CSRD requires companies to:

  • Conduct a Double Materiality Assessment

  • Identify material IROs (Impacts, Risks and Opportunities)

  • Collect ESG data across Environment, Social and Governance

  • Align disclosures with 10 ESRS standards

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.
