Expert CSRD Reporting Services

CSRD reporting compliance is a multi-year endeavor that ultimately benefits companies by giving them a strategic and competitive edge.

Preparation for reporting involves careful assessment and integration of material environmental, social and governance impacts, risks and opportunities in corporate governance, strategy and management approaches in direct operations and across the value chain.

CSRD offers best-in-class sustainability reporting standards that elevate the continuous improvement cycle. Is your business ready for this transformative reporting challenge?

CSRD Reporting Ecosystem

The EU updated its prior sustainability reporting requirements, the Non-financial Disclosure Regulation (NFDR), by developing its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and applicable European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). CSRD reporting helps companies with operations or investment from the EU to compete in an increasingly regulated marketplace.

CSRD aligns with other EU regulations and targets that work together in a regulatory sustainable finance ecosystem. These include:

  • Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

  • Sustainability Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)

  • European Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance Investment

  • EU’s 2050 Climate Goals

  • Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

  • and more!

What makes CSRD Different

CSRD reporting is a form of annual ESG reporting integrated into the annual financial report in a sustainability statement. This means companies should focus on bridging the challenges of siloed sustainability by fully integrating material ESG impacts, risks and opportunities into a corporate strategy. This is achieved with supportive policies, targets, actions, risk management and financial and strategic planning.

Navigating Complex CSRD Requirements

The status of CSRD has constantly changed since its adoption by the EU Commission in July, 2023. CSRD updates are still underway that affect the scope of applicability and the number of data points to report within the ESRS. The changes aim at streamlining the effectiveness of the reporting directive and simplifying the reporting burden on mid-sized companies.

Otherwise, the main principles still remain the same. Many EU countries have transposed CSRD into their national laws and may require additional annual reporting obligations.

CSRD Signals Reporting Quality

Many companies choose to voluntarily adopt the ESRS of the CSRD as a best-in-class reporting standard. This is because it combines the impact-centered reporting principles of GRI and the financial-materiality lens of IFRS and SASB. Patagonia’s 2025 Impact Report is an example of voluntary CSRD adoption.

Successful CSRD Reporting Projects

I help companies plan and craft compliant sustainability statements in alignment with the latest version of CSRD and ESRS. While most of my support aligns with the typical process outlined in my ESG reporting services, CSRD reporting requires a heightened attention on disclosure depth, accuracy and materiality to meet standards.

In addition, full adoption of CSRD requirements often takes multiple years, and I partner in multi-year agreements to help companies achieve full compliance and reporting success. I provide support for special circumstances such as:

  • First-time sustainability statement preparation

  • Navigating phase-in requirements

  • Voluntary out-of-scope CSRD reporting

  • Transition year reporting ahead of compliance
