📝 EU Sustainability Reporting is Coming

We’ve SUSSED reporting for your events.

EU sustainability reporting is coming and it’s called the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The reporting has been slightly delayed however, now is the time to continue to prepare for this change and we’ve got just the solution for it. Read on to find out more…

What is CSRD and CSDDD?

CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) is an EU law that requires companies to report their environmental and social impact, just like they report their financial performance, helping investors and the public understand a company’s true impact on people and the planet. The goal is to ensure businesses are accountable for their sustainability efforts and prevent greenwashing.

CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) is an EU law that goes a step further by requiring companies to actively prevent and address human rights abuses and environmental harm throughout their supply chains. The goal is to make businesses legally responsible for their impact on human rights and the environment, even beyond their own operations.

“A key facet of CSRD-aligned reporting is assessing double materiality. This means that businesses should assess the impacts which their operations and value chain have on people and the environment (impact materiality), as well as the financial relevance of environmental and social risks to their financial performance (financial materiality).”
Edie, 2025

EU companies were meant to start including CSRD in their annual reporting in 2026 or 2027 and they will not need to do so until 2028. This postponement is designed to provide companies with more time to prepare for comprehensive sustainability reporting, ensuring they can meet the directive’s standards effectively.
