A key pillar of the CSRD requires businesses to start reporting on their ESG activities, as well as the ESG emissions and practices of their supply chain. This new statement must be backed by data, audited and published as part of the company's Annual Report. Research shows a company's supply chain emissions are typically more than 10 times that of its operational emissions, so it is little wonder this has been made a requirement by CSRD legislation.

Below is a breakdown of what CSRD means for your business:

Who

Approx. 50,000 companies will be required to report on their ESG activities this year. This figure will increase significantly going forward, as the reporting criteria brings SMB's (not micro) into scope.

What

CSRD modernizes the rules concerning the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information that companies must report, including their ESG activities and those of their supply chain.

When

The CSRD entered into force on January 5, 2024, and will bring more companies into scope each year going forward. It is currently being adopted into Irish law.

Why
