CSRD

At the heart of the CSRD lies the concept of double materiality. Unlike traditional financial materiality, which focuses solely on the financial impact on the company, double materiality requires a dual approach:

1. Financial Materiality Evaluating how sustainability issues affect the company’s financial performance.

2. Environmental and Social Materiality Assessing how the company’s activities impact the environment and society.

Our service begins with a thorough materiality assessment to identify and prioritise the most significant sustainability issues from both perspectives. This involves engaging with stakeholders, analysing regulatory requirements, and evaluating industry-specific risks and opportunities. By embracing double materiality, we ensure that your reporting captures a holistic view of your company’s sustainability performance.

Successful CSRD compliance requires more than just reporting; the integration of sustainability into your business processes and culture is crucial. Our implementation services provide a structured approach to embedding sustainability into your organisation:

Gap Analysis  We start by conducting a detailed gap analysis to compare your current practices with CSRD requirements. This helps identify areas needing improvement and sets a clear roadmap for compliance.

Strategy Development  Based on the gap analysis, we collaborate with your team to develop a robust sustainability strategy that aligns with your business goals and CSRD standards.

Process Integration  We assist in integrating sustainability metrics into your existing processes, ensuring that data collection, management, and reporting are streamlined and accurate.

Continuous Improvement  Sustainability is a dynamic field. We provide ongoing support to help you adapt to evolving regulations and best practices, ensuring your sustainability journey remains progressive.
