The CSRD arrives in 2024 and will impact all large firms operating in the EU

The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (#CSRD) is due to come into effect in 2024 – a new and pivotal regulation in the EU that will impact all large firms operating in the region.

With a double materiality perspective and compliance with European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the CSRD sets out to create a robust and standardized framework for reporting non-financial data, offering a more comprehensive scope than ever before.

The end-goal is to equip everyone – from investors to consumers – with the information they need to make informed decisions about a firm’s ESG performance.
