Following July’s all-member policy meeting, we are hosting a dedicated webinar to understanding the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

The CSRD requires large and listed EU companies to disclose information on their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance on an annual basis.

Other non-EU companies may also be impacted, either needing to complete their own report or providing their ESG information to someone else in their value chain to enable them to complete theirs.

In July, the EU published a four-week consultation on the proposed information required under the CSRD.

During this webinar, we will be breaking down the proposal, helping members to understand the level of ESG information which may be required in their reports which, for some businesses, will first be due in 2025. 

Understanding the CSDR Proposal

It is estimated that over 50,000 companies will be required to report under the CSRD, and not all of them will be based in the EU. Research suggests that up to 10,000 non-EU companies will also be obligated to apply to the CSRD, 11% of which are thought to operate in Britain.

 

Examples within the proposal include reporting on:

  • A breakdown of total revenue, as included in its financial statement
  • GHG emissions and intensity based on net revenue
  • Plans and capacity to adapt strategy and business model in line with circular economy principles
  • Workers in the undertaking’s upstream and downstream value chain
  • Own performance regarding contractual payment terms and practices
