Implementing sustainability reporting under the CSRD is a complex and time-consuming process. In particular, the double materiality analysis poses many challenges for companies. Extensive stakeholder engagement is required to ensure a comprehensive view of the relevant issues. The collection and analysis of data covering both the company's impact on the environment and society and vice versa must be accurate. In addition, prioritising these issues requires a clear methodology and an understanding of the importance of each aspect.
Given the complexity and the effort involved, it makes sense for companies to seek professional support.

Sustainability reports are formal documents that companies publish to present the environmental, social and economic impacts of their business activities.
A typical sustainability report addresses a number of key areas. On the one hand, environmental issues include topics such as emissions, water and energy consumption, waste management and biodiversity. In terms of social aspects , reports cover working conditions, human rights, community work and social responsibility. Finally, with regard to corporate governance, financial stability, ethical behavior and the contribution to the local economy also play a crucial role in the sustainability report.
Firstly, it is a legal requirement for companies to publish regular sustainability reports in many jurisdictions. Furthermore, by documenting and analysing their sustainability initiatives, companies can identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies. By reporting transparently on their sustainability practices, companies can strengthen stakeholder trust, position themselves as responsible market leaders and consequently attract investment.
The specific legal requirements that become relevant for a company depend on its location and size. The new regulations are being introduced gradually. The CSRD regulations apply to large companies based in the EU. For small and medium-sized companies, the VSME standards apply first.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a new EU directive that tightens the requirements for sustainability reporting. It replaces the previous Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and aims to improve the quality and comparability of sustainability reporting.
According to the CSRD, sustainability reports must contain detailed information on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and be prepared in accordance with recognized reporting standards, specifically the ESRS. CSRD reporting is based on the principle of double materiality.
The ESRS are a set of harmonized standards developed by the European Union to support companies in preparing sustainability reports in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The ESRS complement the CSRD by providing a detailed framework for reporting, ensuring that companies in the EU can communicate their sustainability efforts clearly and consistently.
The ESRS contain specific requirements that companies must adhere to when reporting on their sustainability practices. There are currently 12 standards available, including two general standards and 10 standards on specific topics. Which standards you need to follow depends on factors such as your business activity, size and type of industry.
From 2024, all large companies in the EU will be obliged to prepare sustainability reports in accordance with the new CSRD regulation. The obligation will be gradually extended in subsequent years.
The integration of the sustainability report as a separate section of the annual report means that the sanctions for non-compliance with the reporting regulations correspond to the strict rules for the annual report. The specific penalty is based on various factors, including the severity and duration of the breach and the financial situation of the company. It can range from monetary fines to the imposition of custodial sentences.
