Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

We support you in fulfilling the CSRD

In the near future, the CSR reporting obligation will be replaced by the CSRD – Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. In November 2022, the CSRD law was passed by the European Parliament and will subsequently be transposed into national law by the EU member states. The current plan is to introduce it in a phased model from January 2025 (reporting for the 2024 financial year). The CSRD, like the EU Taxonomy and the SFDR, is part of a larger “EU Sustainability Finance Framework” that incorporates sustainability factors from different levels of the economy.

At DFGE, we help you capture and validate the essential information in the upcoming CSRD. As a complete package or modularly for your management report, your annual report or for your non-financial report on your website.

EU-Taxonomy

The EU-Taxonomy sets out standardized requirements and describes a framework to classify “sustainable” economic activities within the EU in a generally valid way – only those activities that contribute to the European climate and environmental goals should be considered sustainable. The EU-Taxonomy defines economic activities that are most relevant to achieving climate neutrality and promoting adaptation to climate change.

Companies affected by CSRD must carry out an impact analysis and a compliance check to determine whether economic activities conform to the taxonomy. The EU-Taxonomy-compliant share of turnover, investments (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx) from the economic activity carried out must be included in the CSRD report and taxonomy-compliant and taxonomy-eligible economic activities must be specified. The aim here is to redirect the flow of capital towards environmentally sustainable activities and prevent greenwashing attempts.
