CSRD Support
An overview of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which comes into force in January 2023, is a European Union directive that replaces the previously applicable Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD). The NFRD was the basis for mandatory reporting on corporate social and environmental responsibility in the EU. Together with our partner Adelphi, we summarize the most important ESRS standards for you in our 2023 publication series. You can find more information at https://csrd-support.de/.
