What is the CSRD Directive?
The CSRD, or "Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive," is a groundbreaking European directive that mandates certain companies to provide annual non-financial reporting.
Its primary goal is to enhance transparency by disclosing comprehensive and reliable information on companies' environmental and social impacts.
Pre-report- Double Materiality Assessment and Due Diligence
- EU taxonomy system including XBRL tagging
- Governance-related information (management of sustainability risks)
Post-report- Mandatory third-party auditing
- Digitalisation of sustainability reports in the The European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)
Does it apply to my company?
Following the 2026 Omnibus simplification package, the CSRD focuses on the largest EU market players, impacting approximately 15,000 companies, including the following:

What are the data requirements?
European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are the essential guidelines for CSRD reporting requirements. These include cross-cutting standards, such as ESRS 1 and ESRS 2, as well as topic-specific standards.
ESRS 1
ESRS 1 establishes the general principles to follow when preparing sustainability reporting.
- Double materiality assessment
- Sustainability due diligence
- Supply and value chain
- Timeline
ESRS 2
ESRS 2 outlines the general disclosure requirements and mandatory baseline disclosures, regardless of materiality assessment outcomes. It also defines the structure for topical standards, grouped into four main sections:
- Governance: Disclosure Requirements 1-5
- Strategy: SBM 1-3
- Impacts, risks and opportunities - IRO 1-2 (based on Double Materiality Assessment)
- Metrics and targets
Environnement
Social
Governance
Not Impacted by CSRD? The VSME Standard is the Solution
Your company may not be impacted by the CSRD, but your largest clients are. Since 2025, they have been required to collect sustainability data from their entire value chain, including you.
The VSME standard, a must-have
- 90% less effort than the full CSRD
- Standardised format recognised by all large companies
- No mandatory audit (unlike the CSRD)
- Competitive advantage: be ready before your competitors
Why act now?
Leaders are preparing while their competitors wait. Within the next 12-18 months, your clients will demand this data. those unable to provide it risk being replaced within the value chain.

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires the largest companies operating in the EU to publish audited sustainability information in their annual management report. The Omnibus I Directive, in force since 18 March 2026, narrowed CSRD scope to companies with over 1,000 employees and over €450M net turnover, and simplified the reporting standards (ESRS).
EU companies must report under the CSRD if they exceed 1,000 employees on average and €450M net turnover. Both criteria must be met.
EU companies newly in scope report on FY2027 data, published in 2028. Non-EU groups report on FY2028 data in 2029. Member states must transpose the Omnibus changes by 19 March 2027.
Companies that reported on FY2024 data and remain above the new thresholds keep reporting. Companies that fall below the new thresholds may be exempted for FY2025 and FY2026, depending on whether their member state applies the transition exemption.
A double materiality assessment (DMA) identifies which sustainability topics a company must report under the CSRD. It scores each impact, risk and opportunity (IRO) on two axes: the company's impact on people and the environment, and the financial effect of sustainability issues on the company. Only topics found material are disclosed.
Mandatory data points fell by more than 60% and total data points by more than 70%. Voluntary data points were removed, and a top-down materiality approach is encouraged.
Yes, within a cap. Companies in CSRD scope can request from suppliers with fewer than 1,000 employees only the information set out in the voluntary VSME standard: up to 23 data points, or 9 for companies with 10 employees or fewer. Suppliers must be told about this limit and can refuse requests beyond it.
Yes. CSRD sustainability statements require limited assurance from an external auditor or accredited assurance provider. The planned move to reasonable assurance has been put on hold.
Penalties are set by each member state in its national transposition law, so they vary by country. Check the law of each country where your group files.
