FAQ

The CSRD is an EU directive that obliges companies to report transparently on their social, environmental and economic impact.

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) defines what companies must report on the environment, social issues, human rights and their management. This involves plans for the near, medium and distant future. It requires more than the old rule, which was known in Germany as the CSR Directive Implementation Act, and replaces it.

Specifically, the following companies are required to report (note: thresholds have been raised):

  • Large companies (regardless of capital market orientation) that fulfill two of the following three criteria:
    • Balance sheet total of more than EUR 25 million
    • Turnover greater than 50 million euros
    • Over 250 employees
  • Capital market-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
  • Non-European companies that generate a turnover of more than 150 million in the EU and have at least one subsidiary or branch in the EU

“Double materiality” in the context of the CSRD refers to two types of materiality assessment in sustainability reporting:

  1. Materiality: How do a company’s business activities affect the environment and society? This can include environmental impacts, social impacts, human rights violations and other relevant topics.
  2. Internal materiality: How do environmental, social and governance issues affect the company’s economic performance? For example, this could be risks or opportunities arising from climate change, social inequalities or corporate governance that could affect the company’s financial stability or business models.

The aim is to achieve balanced reporting that takes into account both social and business impacts.

Using a CSR tool is not a CSRD requirement, but software can simplify and automate the process of data collection, analysis and reporting, resulting in more efficient and accurate reports. In addition, targets and measures can be better tracked, which contributes to professional sustainability management within the company.
