What is CSRD?

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU regulation setting a new standard for corporate sustainability disclosures. It requires companies to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data into their financial reports. Recent updates under the Omnibus proposal have simplified compliance and reduced the number of affected companies.

How will CSRD affect you?

CSRD took effect on January 5, 2023, aiming to expand sustainability reporting beyond NFRD requirements. Originally, nearly 50,000 companies were expected to comply, with large firms starting in 2026, followed by smaller businesses up to 2030.

However, the Omnibus proposal has delayed and narrowed CSRD’s scope. Now, only companies with over 1,000 employees, €50 million in revenue, or €25 million in assets will be required to report. Large enterprises will start in 2028 instead of 2026, reducing the number of affected firms by 80%.

Key Points:

  • Broader transparency – CSRD extends beyond financial reporting, improving corporate accountability.
  • 6,000 companies, which meets the criteria of over 1,000 employees, €50 million in revenue, or €25 million in assets will be required to report (down from 50,000).
  • The reporting started in 2025 for NFRD companies, with the next phase in 2028 for large entities, and for qualifying Non-EU companies in 2029.
  • The listed SMEs were removed from the scope of the directive, leaving uncertainty in the questions of when these companies should start reporting.

The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) continues refining standards, with final approval by the European Commission expected after further consultations.

The CSRD requires sustainability reporting from large entities, both within and outside the EU. Initially, an estimated 50,000 companies were expected to comply. However, following the Omnibus Proposal, the scope has been reduced by 80%, now affecting around 6,000 companies — primarily large entities. The detailed criteria are outlined below.
