CSRD x Traace reporting - How to comply with the new obligations

CSRD in a nutshell

The CSRD, or "Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive", is a new European directive which aims to require companies of a certain size to provide annual non-financial reporting .

The main aim of the CSRD is to promote transparency and make public comprehensive and reliable information on the environmental and social impact of companies . It will also harmonize corporate sustainability reporting and the quality of ESG data.

When will your company be affected by the CSRD?

Deployment of this new obligation will be phased in over the period up to 2027, depending on company size.

Companies already subject to the NFRD will have to be ready to collect reporting data by January 2024, while SMEs will have an extra year to prepare in order to avoid possible penalties.

The environmental component of the CSRD will be the most demanding

The section on climate change is likely to be the most difficult for companies to answer.

This is because, unlike other purely declarative data (e.g. social data), the climate change section will require the processing of raw impact data, as for the calculation of GHG emissions or the modeling of carbon reduction targets and action plans.

Companies will need to be able to provide a set of quantified indicators on their greenhouse gas emissions and their strategy for combating and adapting to climate change.
