What Is the CSRD?
The CSRD Directive (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) marks a major turning point in the way companies communicate about their environmental, social, and societal impact.
It is the new European directive transforming corporate transparency and sustainability reporting.
Starting in 2025, more than 52,000 European companies will be required to publish clear, standardized, and verifiable information about their sustainability practices.
What Exactly Is the CSRD?
The CSRD, adopted by the European Union, replaces and strengthens the previous NFRD (Non-Financial Reporting Directive).
Its main objective is to improve transparency and comparability of non-financial data, allowing stakeholders, customers, investors, partners, and citizens, to truly assess a company’s sustainability performance.
In practical terms, the directive requires companies to report on their impact in three key areas:
- Climate and Environment (carbon emissions, energy consumption, waste management, etc.)
- Human Capital (equality, workplace well-being, safety, inclusion)
- Governance (ethics, transparency, anti-corruption measures)
Why Is the CSRD Important?
This directive is more than just a regulatory requirement, it represents a strategic opportunity.
By making sustainability information more reliable and accessible, the CSRD:
- Strengthens stakeholder trust;
- Encourages innovation toward more sustainable business models;
- Enhances the competitiveness of committed companies;
- And contributes to building a more responsible and resilient economy.
