The EU Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will require companies above a certain size to report on sustainability from 2025 onwards. ESG is the abbreviation for environment, social and governance. Binding European reporting standards (ESRS) are also being introduced for ESG reporting.

The CSRD, proposed by the European Commission in April 2021, aims to improve and harmonize sustainability reporting standards across the European Union (EU). The directive builds on existing reporting frameworks such as the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and introduces new requirements to improve the quality, comparability and transparency of sustainability information published by companies.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has similarities with International Financial Reporting Standards 16 (IFRS 16), a global accounting standard for lease accounting. Both the CSRD and IFRS 16 are regulatory initiatives aimed at improving the transparency, comparability and consistency of financial reporting.
A commonality between the CSRD and IFRS 16 is that they are both part of a broader regulatory framework aimed at standardizing accounting practices. While IFRS 16 focuses on lease accounting, the CSRD focuses on sustainability reporting, in particular the obligation for companies to disclose ESG-related information.

ESG Reporting with Board as CPM solution

The Board CPM Platform serves as a comprehensive corporate performance management (CPM) solution where dashboards can be created without programming using the innovative toolkit approach. During the initial integration, your data is loaded into Board from various upstream systems such as SAP or Oracle, databases, or even Excel files. Thanks to the programming-free environment, the departments can then build the key figures and dashboards independently. This allows the CSRD guidelines to be used as more than a pure compliance tool and to integrate ESG reporting into your corporate strategy in a sustainable way.

Single-point-of-truth, where all data comes from one connected system instead of different silos like HR, controlling and sales, makes the data basis for your ESG reporting consistent. This means that in the future you can also rely on your data and not just your intuition.

Depending on the reporting standard, your key figures are transferred and individually prepared so that you are always well informed.

Overview of the most important standards

The European Sustainability Reporting Standards(ESRS) are a framework being developed by the EU to promote harmonization and improvement of companies’ reporting on their sustainability performance. The ESRS are intended to provide companies with clear guidance on the disclosure of ESG information and to assist them in measuring, monitoring and reporting on their sustainability performance. They are intended to reference existing international standards and improve consistency and comparability in ESG reporting. The introduction of the ESRS is expected to encourage companies to improve their ESG reporting and transparently disclose their sustainability performance.

The Global Reporting Initiative(GRI) is an internationally recognized framework for sustainability reporting. It was developed to
Help companies report on their environmental, social and governance performance. The GRI guidelines include comprehensive guidelines for reporting on a wide range of sustainability topics, such as environmental impact, human rights, labor conditions, product stewardship and more. The use of the GRI framework enables companies to systematically and transparently report on their sustainability performance and supports the comparability of reports.

The global goals for sustainable development.

The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) is a non-profit organization that develops standards for corporate sustainability reporting. The SASB standards establish specific topics and metrics that help companies report on financially material sustainability issues relevant to their industry. The SASB standards are used by investors, companies and other stakeholders to promote more consistent and comparable ESG reporting and help companies improve their sustainability performance.
