Sustainability and transparency are playing an increasingly important role in the business world. The European CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) mandates companies to disclose their environmental and social impact. But there are big changes on the horizon for corporate sustainability reporting in the EU! The European Commission has proposed significant updates to the CSRD and CSDDD requirements, aiming to cut regulatory burdens by 25% while staying aligned with the Green Deal.

Although these directives are not yet fully defined, now is a good time to assess what they mean for you. It could happen at any moment that your company is required to comply with the CSRD directives. If it’s not mandated by legislation, it could be customers, partners, or insurers asking for insights. This raises many questions for entrepreneurs. How much work will this entail? What data needs to be collected? And is it possible to gain a strategic advantage from this?

More and more companies are investing large sums of money and deploying extra staff to comply with reporting requirements. However, there are clever ways to make this process more efficient and effective.

The Impact of CSRD on SMEs

The CSRD requires companies to prepare sustainability reports on their environmental impact, social policies, and governance (ESG). Initially, the regulation focuses on large enterprises, but SMEs will also be directly or indirectly affected. A company falls under the CSRD obligation if it has more than 1,000 employees.

Even companies that do not directly meet these criteria may come into contact with CSRD indirectly. Clients, investors, customers, or insurers may inquire about their environmental impact. ING estimates that ultimately tens of thousands of companies will be affected.
