Sustainability report

What it is and when it will become mandatory

The sustainability report is the corporate tool for communicating economic, environmental and social achievements usually on an annual or biannual basis.
The sustainability report addresses all stakeholders and communicates future goals and achievements based on ESG factors (short for environmental, social and governance).

The structure of the report therefore includes:
• economic performance
• environmental performance
• social performance

Companies subject to the new CSRD directive will have to report according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

The benefits of the sustainability report

Business benefits derived from writing such a document may include:

Opportunities for external stakeholders to understand the company's sustainability performance.

Objectives

Opportunity to concretely demonstrate how to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive - CSRD

Adopted by the European Commission in November 2022, it builds on and replaces the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD 2014/95/EU) standard, introducing more detailed reporting requirements and increasing the number of companies that must comply.
CSRD came into effect on January 5, 2023, and companies will have to apply this new regulation starting in fiscal year 2024, for sustainability reports published in 2025.
