FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who does the CSRD apply to? 
open

The scope of the CSRD is broad, covering almost 50,000 companies operating in the European Union:

- Value chain partners: companies within the scope of the CSRD are required to disclose information about their value chains. As a result, even companies that aren’t required to report under the CSRD may be asked to provide sustainability-related data to their customers or suppliers who are subject to the Directive.
- Investors and lenders: financial stakeholders, including investors and lenders, may request CSRD-aligned information from companies to fulfil their own reporting or due diligence obligations.
- Subsidiary considerations: subsidiaries of EU-based companies with CSRD reporting obligations may need to provide relevant data to their parent companies, even if they are not directly required to report.
- Non-EU headquartered companies: even if the parent company does not have any debt or equity securities listed on an EU-regulated market, global consolidated reporting will be required from financial year 2028 (reporting in 2029) if one or more of its EU branches or entities and its consolidated net turnover in the EU meet certain criteria.

When does CSRD come into effect?
open

The CSRD introduces a phased approach to reporting obligations, with different deadlines depending on a company’s specific circumstances. Companies with securities listed on EU-regulated markets and more than 500 employees will be the first to report. They must report on the financial year 2024, with reports due in 2025.

The second wave, encompassing other ‘large undertakings’ and parent companies of ‘large groups’, will begin reporting for the financial year 2025 (to be filed in 2026). All other companies within the CSRD's scope will follow in subsequent waves. Here are some more details:

- Companies subject to the current NFRD requirements plus ‘issuers’ that a) meet the definition of a large undertaking and b) have more than 500 employees: reporting is required for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2024.
- All other ‘large undertakings’ and ‘large groups’ within the scope of the CSRD: reporting is required for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
- Listed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): reporting is required for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with an optional two-year deferral for first-time application.
- Certain small and non-complex institutions and captive insurance undertakings as defined by EU regulations: reporting is required for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026.

How do I conduct my double materiality assessment?
open

Double materiality means looking at an organisation from two perspectives: the impacts on the organisation (financial materiality) and the impact of the organisation on external factors (impact materiality). To assess these, it’s important to evaluate both actual and potential impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) – as well as negative and positive IROs – in the short, medium and long term. Boundary setting is also a key process, as it is critical to identify where in the value chain the impact or financial materiality occurs, breaking this down at the topic, subtopic and sub-subtopic level.

What is CSRD-aligned reporting?  
open

The CSRD requires companies to disclose their sustainability strategy, associated targets, implementation policies and methods for monitoring progress. This information will become a mandatory part of an organisation’s annual report under the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). Companies must present this data in a structured, tagged, electronic format (XBRL), accompanied by an assurance statement from an external auditor. These requirements aim to bring ESG information to the same standard as financial reporting, improving its quality, reliability, transparency and comparability across organisations.
