Sustainability is becoming increasingly important for companies – not only out of environmental and social responsibility, but also due to regulatory requirements. With the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the European Union has introduced a new directive that obliges companies to provide comprehensive and transparent sustainability reporting. It replaces the previous Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and significantly expands the group of companies subject to reporting requirements as well as the content requirements.The aim of the CSRD is to make companies more accountable and to create better comparability and transparency for investors, customers and other stakeholders through standardized reporting formats. At the same time, risks and opportunities in connection with sustainability aspects – particularly with regard to climate change – are to be systematically recorded and disclosed.
The new requirements affect tens of thousands of companies in the EU. In addition to stricter requirements for data collection and reporting, companies that implement sustainable measures at an early stage can achieve long-term competitive advantages.
