; CSRD:; European ESG reporting, simplified and controlled with Harnest;
What is CSRD?
La CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) Is the European directive that makes the mandatory extra-financial reporting for a growing number of businesses.
It is based on the ESRS standards (European Sustainability Reporting Standards), covering all environmental, social, governance and value chain issues via a corpus of 1140 quantitative and narrative data points.
The directive Omnibus, currently being defined, plans to reduce the number of data points, to merge the CSRD with the CS3D and Taxonomy directives and finally to adapt certain requirements for SMEs, while maintaining a common base.
Who is concerned?
- Until 2027: Large companies meeting two criteria: > 500 employees, turnover > €50M or Balance sheet > €25M.
- From 2027: according to Omnibus projects: large companies meeting two criteria: >1000 employees, turnover > €50M or Balance sheet > €25M.
- From 2028: other SMEs listed on a regulated market (e.g. Euronext.) and non-European multinationals generating more than €450M in turnover in the EU and whose subsidiary or branch makes more than €50M in sales.
Beyond regulatory requirements, The CSRD concerns all companies that want to use the most advanced and demanding format for managing their sustainability and extra-financial reporting.
