The CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) is one of the major regulatory changes for companies operating in Europe. In August 2025, the European Commission and EFRAG introduced key updates — including the “stop-the-clock” directive and Omnibus discussions — that directly affect timelines, scope, and obligations.
For many SMEs, managers, and verifiers, the challenge is clear: CSRD and ESRS can feel overwhelming. Data collection, double materiality, and digital reporting demand time, resources, and expertise that are often limited.
The challenges we observe
- SMEs drowning in spreadsheets and client ESG questionnaires.
- Managers uncertain about material data and disclosures.
- Verifiers preparing CSRD assurance under ISO 17029 without clear reference points.
- Confusion about deadlines, scope, and the role of SMEs in supply chains.
