SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING DIRECTIVE

UNDERSTANDING THE ‘GAME CHANGING’ CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING DIRECTIVE
Jun. 1 2022
ESG performance is at the top of the agenda across the globe, and the EU has published ambitious disclosure requirements under The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Companies that meet eligibility criteria will now be required to annually publish information on how they manage and operate their environmental social, and governance activities using the same methodologies, units and digital database. For the first time, the new Directive effectively facilitates the disclosure of sustainability information that is consistent, comparable, and reliable. Access to this information will improve investor decision-making, change the allocation of capital and how companies attract and retain their customers and talent.

The CSRD provides greater transparency than ever before. Organisations will need to understand what ESG data sources they need to capture and collect effectively and efficiently. It is a huge change for eligible organisations that will impact day-to-day operations but creates positive change to help unlock business efficiencies, new market opportunities, and future access to capital and other benefits too. And it’s coming soon – eligible companies must submit their report aligning with the CSRD on 1 January 2024, for the 2023 financial year.
That’s why we’re urging businesses to get up to speed, understand their obligations and put processes and technology enablement in place to make sure they can meet the reporting requirements ahead of the first deadline. And Bureau Veritas is on hand to support.
