Efficiency through automation and integration
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has significant implications for businesses operating in the European Union. This directive, adopted by the European Commission, aims to enhance and standardise sustainability reporting, ensuring that companies provide more comprehensive and comparable information about their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts.
The CSRD represents a significant step forward in ensuring companies are transparent about their impact on the environment and society.
What are the CSRD and the updates it brings?

As businesses strive to comply with these new regulations, our comprehensive CSRD service is designed to guide you through every step of this transformative journey.
THE CSRD PROCESS

1. Double Materiality: A Dual Perspective on Impact
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.
