CSRD & ESRS Fundamentals Training Course
Taking Proactive Steps Towards CSRD Readiness
As sustainability becomes a cornerstone of corporate strategy, an increasing number of directly or indirectly affected organizations must navigate the complexities of reporting under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). To effectively overcome associated challenges including uncertainty over compliance requirements, our DEKRA experts have developed a CSRD & ESRS Fundamentals Training Course designed to provide a first impression of what it takes to integrate transparent sustainability reporting into your business model and operations. It will also help indirectly affected organizations in understanding upcoming requests from their supply chain.
Regulatory Framework
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that aims to enhance and standardize the sustainability reporting requirements for organizations. It expands on the previous Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) by broadening the scope of companies required to report through a staggered approach, increasing the detail and rigor of the reports and requiring assurance on the reported information. The CSRD mandates that organizations disclose information on their environmental impact, social practices and governance matters to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive view of their sustainability performance. This initiative is part of the EU's broader strategy to integrate sustainable finance into its financial system and increase transparency in corporate behavior.
