The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) entered into force in the EU on January 2023, replacing the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD). The CSRD broadens the spectrum of sustainability reporting from the 11,000 institutions covered by the NFRD to the nearly 50,000.
CSRD’s reporting framework-European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), lay out 12 chapters with over 80 disclosures, covering categories ranging from carbon emissions, pollution, waste disposal, biodiversity, social and governance. Importantly, these standards are mandated to feature in annual reports alongside financial statements, subject to stringent third party limited assurance.
The CSRD presents a unique opportunity for banks, insurers, and asset managers to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations into their fundamental business strategies. However, navigating the disclosure requirements and devising an effective reporting strategy can pose significant challenges.
Finalyse possesses extensive expertise in sustainability and climate related disclosures, enabling us to assist financial institutions in navigating the evolving CSRD landscape.

The CSRD directs the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) to establish a reporting framework called the ESRS. In total, the 12 chapters of the ESRS contain over 80 disclosures, and over 1000 both quantitative and qualitative data points related to those disclosures. The framework includes Cross- Cutting standards for reporting, required of all organizations governed by the CSRD, while the Topical standards for reporting - environmental, social and governance is mandatory for only those organizations that consider them material.
