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, in many places companies are legally obliged to publish regular sustainability reports. In addition, by documenting and analyzing their sustainability initiatives, companies can identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies. Companies that report transparently on their sustainability practices can thereby strengthen stakeholder confidence, 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 regulation 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 governmental (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.
