⏰ The #CSRD and #ESRS are in in place, while most companies focus on measuring their emissions and carbon footprint, a critical aspect of ESRS is that reporting covers additional Environmental aspects (such as biodiversity) as well as Social and Governance aspects. 🧐 So it is not “just” Environnemental Sustainability as many seem to believe, it is truly overall Sustainability, or ESG. 🟢🔵🟠 Great summary from the team at Ashurst #sustainability #sustainabilityreporting #esg #esgreporting

For sustainability reporting, a new initiative aims to streamline GRI and ISSB sustainability reporting standards. This will allow more robust sustainability reporting on a global scale. https://lnkd.in/dD_sycmu

🌍 Urgent Update: Sustainability Reporting Deferred 📉 The European Council has deferred sector-specific sustainability reporting standards under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by two years, impacting EU and non-EU companies. This delay raises concerns about slowing progress on environmental goals. While intended to aid implementation focus, it prompts questions about urgency in addressing environmental impacts. As we face climate change's realities, maintaining momentum is crucial. While the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) set a foundation, this delay calls for renewed urgency in sustainability efforts. Let's refocus on accelerating progress towards a sustainable future, emphasizing transparency and accountability. #SustainabilityReporting #CSRD #EnvironmentalConcerns 🌍📉 https://lnkd.in/eCnrVcCV

Let's have a look into the development and progress of the #ESRS sustainability standards. The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are a set of standards that are being developed to support the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (#CSRD). The CSRD is a new EU directive that have made it mandatory for large and listed companies in the EU to report on their sustainability performance. The ESRS provides the framework for this reporting. The standards have been finalised and adopted by the European Commission to be the official sustainability reporting standards for the EU.

Strengthening Environmental Reporting Under BRSR Companies filing Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reports (BRSR) are taking a positive step towards greater transparency and accountability. However, there is still room for improvement in the quality and comprehensiveness of these reports. The BRSR can be a powerful tool for promoting corporate sustainability. However, the current reporting framework is not as effective as it could be. Recommendations for strengthening environmental reporting under BRSR : 🌀Requiring companies to report on a wider range of environmental indicators. 🌀Making it mandatory for companies to set and disclose sustainability targets. 🌀Ensuring that BRSR reports are independently verified. By implementing these recommendations, we can make BRSR a more effective tool for promoting corporate sustainability.

The European Commission has published the final text of its first set of twelve European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRSs)1. It's somehow disappointing, and here's why: Although the ESRSs provide information for investors to understand the sustainability impact of the companies in which they invest, the final rules are significantly watered down and can be considered a step back in ambition and robustness compared to its earlier drafts. The Commission decided to move away from mandatory core disclosures for topics like biodiversity transition plans. These changes were made to facilitate convergence at a time where the reporting landscape is consolidating, but end up leaving key sustainability topics that have historically been overlooked still part of the voluntary disclosures. In terms of timeline, disclosures will be required as early as the 2024 reporting period for the first wave of companies. Sustainability practitioners will appreciate that the ESRSs take account of discussions with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)) in order to ensure a very high degree of interoperability between EU and global standards and to prevent unnecessary double reporting by companies. #sustainability #esgreporting #esrs #issb #gri #biodiversity #climatecrisis #esgdisclosure #materiality
