ESG Reporting

CSRD: EU Sustainability Reporting Requirements

If you think the CSRD is just an expanded version of the old NFRD, you're in for a shock. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (2022/2464) doesn't just expand the scope from 11,000 companies to 50,000 — it fundamentally changes what reporting means. 1,100+ datapoints. Double materiality. Limited assurance. iXBRL tagging. And for the first time, your sustainability data needs to stand up to external scrutiny.

The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are the rulebook, and they cover environmental, social, and governance topics in granular detail. If you already report under GRI or SASB, there's overlap — but the bar is significantly higher.

CSRD Compliance Software: Automate ESRS Reporting

If you're in scope for CSRD (250+ employees, €50M+ turnover, or €25M+ balance sheet), you're looking at 1,100+ datapoints across ESRS standards. That's not a number you spreadsheet your way through. The first wave of companies reporting on 2024 data already found that manual processes don't scale when you need auditable, double-materiality-assessed sustainability reports with XBRL tagging.

CSRD compliance software won't decide what's material for you, but it'll handle the data collection, validation, and ESRS tagging that makes the difference between a report that passes assurance and one that doesn't.

ESG Reporting Software: A Buyer's Guide for 2026

ESG reporting has moved from voluntary to mandatory for thousands of companies under the EU's CSRD, with the first compliance deadlines already passing in 2025 and phased rollout continuing through 2028. Whether you're subject to mandatory reporting or responding to supply chain requests from larger buyers, getting ESG data collection and disclosure right requires dedicated software.

ESG reporting software automates data collection across environmental, social, and governance metrics, maps them to reporting frameworks (CSRD, ESRS, TNFD, SASB, GRI), and generates auditable disclosures.

Modern Slavery Reporting Software

The UK Modern Slavery Act, Australia Modern Slavery Act, and Canada Bill S-211 require companies to publish annual statements detailing the steps they've taken to prevent forced labour in their supply chains. For companies subject to multiple jurisdictions, this means managing overlapping deadlines, varying requirements, and data from hundreds of suppliers — a task that quickly exceeds what spreadsheets can handle.

Modern slavery reporting software automates supplier due diligence data collection, risk assessment, statement generation, and cross-jurisdiction compliance tracking — replacing manual processes with a single auditable platform.

Biodiversity Software for TNFD & CSRD Reporting

Biodiversity reporting is rapidly moving from voluntary to mandatory. The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has set the framework, the EU CSRD requires biodiversity impact disclosures for affected companies, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets 30x30 protection by 2030. Companies must assess, disclose, and reduce their impact on ecosystems — and spreadsheets cannot handle the complexity.

Biodiversity impact software helps companies collect site-level ecological data, assess dependencies and impacts, generate TNFD-aligned disclosures, and track improvement over time.
