In accordance with the CSRD, these companies must disclose non-financial information in the management report, which is also subject to audit. The European sustainability standards (ESRS) have specified the CSRD and thus created a mandatory framework for sustainability reporting that ensures better comparability and transparency of sustainability reports.
Significant expansion of the user group
In particular, the CSRD significantly expands the group of users. Whereas previously only large capital market-oriented companies and some banks and insurance companies were required to submit a non-financial declaration or prepare a non-financial report, the group of users is now being extended to include all large corporations and equivalent commercial partnerships. This means that an estimated 15,000 companies in Germany will be required to report in future. The first reporting period in accordance with the new standards will begin on January 1, 2025 for large corporations that have a financial year with the same calendar year, and correspondingly later in calendar year 2025 for companies with a different financial year.
Sustainability reporting: an opportunity for your company
In addition to the legal obligation, sustainability reporting opens up numerous opportunities for companies: It enables them to position themselves positively in the public eye, secure their business model, strengthen customer loyalty and acquisition, increase their attractiveness as an employer and exploit the potential in the area of green finance.
