General information on sustainability reporting
Sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly important as companies are being held more and more accountable for transparently presenting their impact on the environment and society. With the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU has created a binding framework that obliges companies to report their ESG data in detail.
The aim of the CSRD is to encourage companies to adopt more sustainable and responsible business practices and to support the EU Green Deal. It replaces the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and expands the requirements for sustainability reporting. Companies must collect and disclose information on topics such as CO2 emissions, energy consumption, social standards and governance practices.
The importance of sustainability reporting for companies
Sustainability reporting is a crucial means for companies to transparently present their environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities. Companies must document their sustainability strategies transparently and systematically collect and process ESG data. This not only influences decision-making with regard to environmental and social standards, but also offers companies the opportunity to position themselves as sustainable and responsible. Transparent reporting strengthens the trust of investors, customers and other stakeholders and helps to minimize risks.
The CSRD will make around 15,000 companies in Germany and around 50,000 companies in Europe subject to reporting requirements in the coming years.
Reporting in accordance with the CSRD began in 2025 for companies that were previously subject to the NFRD or CSR-RUG. These are large listed companies of public interest with an annual average of more than 500 employees and either a net turnover of at least 40 million euros or a balance sheet total of at least 20 million euros. Affected companies must report on their 2024 financial year.
From 2026, large companies with limited liability that meet two of the following three requirements must also report for the preceding financial year 2025: more than 250 employees, a net turnover of at least 50 million euros or a balance sheet total of more than 25 million euros.
From 2027, the obligation will also apply to listed SMEs as well as small and non-complex credit institutions and tied/proprietary insurance companies. In their case too, two of three criteria must be met: more than 10 employees on average, at least sales revenue of 900 thousand euros or a balance sheet total of more than 450 thousand euros. A postponement of the reporting obligation for the 2026 and 2027 financial years is possible for these SMEs, provided it is justified in the management report. In addition, simplified standards, known as LSME (Listed Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) standards, apply to these companies.
From 2029, all non-EU companies with a net turnover of more than 150 million euros in the EU and with at least one subsidiary or branch in the EU must report. In addition, special standards for companies in third countries will apply to these companies.
Reporting in accordance with the GRI or DNK standard is voluntary.
