CSRD
Who has to report and when?

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that aims to increase the accessibility, comparability, and transparency of sustainability reporting. The goal is to create the best possible conditions for the EU to achieve net-zero by 2050 and direct capital towards green investments. The directive entails stricter requirements and a common standard for sustainability reporting. Companies gradually covered by the directive include the following:

  • Large companies that are currently subject to the NFRD
    (over 500 employees)
  • Large companies that meet two out of three criteria in the last two financial years:
    -over 250 employees
    - Net sales over SEK 550 millions
    – Balance sheet over SEK 280 millions
  • Listed SMEs on the regulated market as well as small and non-complex credit institutions and captive companies.
When the directive has been fully implemented, approximately 50,000 companies within the EU are expected to comply with CSRD, of which approximately 4,100 of them are Swedish companies.

CSRD
What are the effects of the directive?

CSRD raises the requirements for companies' sustainability reporting and will lead to significant changes in their reporting and communication, not the least towards investors. The directive will also entail:

  • Reporting on risks, opportunities and impact
  • Sustainability report as a part of the management report
  • Digital tagging
  • Limited assurance by third-party
  • Increased responsibility for the board and audit committee
Reporting of sustainability information will be governed by the reporting standard European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS), which includes 80 information requirements and roughly 1,140 data points. With the new directive, increased requirements are placed on reporting of the companies' value chain, which will also mean that smaller companies are affected indirectly and may have to report on their impact.
