CSRD Compliance: Structured, Auditable, Complete
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive transforms ESG reporting from voluntary to mandatory for nearly 50,000 companies across Europe. ESG:ONE provides the structured workflows, data management, and assurance readiness you need to comply with confidence.
CSRD and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) introduce over 1,100 data points across environmental, social, and governance topics — with mandatory double materiality assessment and third-party assurance requirements. ESG:ONE maps every ESRS requirement to data collection workflows, tracks your readiness across all standards, and prepares your disclosures for limited and reasonable assurance.
Book a DemoWhy CSRD Compliance Is Unprecedented in Scope
CSRD represents the most ambitious sustainability reporting regulation ever enacted. Its scope, granularity, and assurance requirements go far beyond anything organisations have had to produce before — and timelines are aggressive.
ESRS requires disclosure across 12 topical standards covering climate, pollution, water, biodiversity, circular economy, workforce, communities, consumers, and governance — each with detailed data point requirements
Double materiality assessment is mandatory under CSRD, requiring organisations to evaluate both financial materiality and impact materiality — a methodology most teams have never applied
Value chain reporting obligations extend data collection requirements beyond organisational boundaries to upstream suppliers and downstream customers — dramatically increasing the scope of data needed
Third-party assurance is required from the first reporting year (limited assurance), with a transition to reasonable assurance — demanding the same level of data rigour as financial reporting
Timelines are tight: the first wave of companies reports on 2024 data, with subsequent waves bringing in smaller companies on 2025 and 2026 data
ESRS data points must be tagged digitally using the ESRS XBRL taxonomy for machine-readable filing with national registries — a technical requirement many organisations are unprepared for
Key Benefits
Complete ESRS Coverage
Full support for all 12 ESRS topical standards plus the cross-cutting standards ESRS 1 and ESRS 2. Every data point, disclosure requirement, and application guidance paragraph is mapped to data collection workflows and reporting templates within the platform.
Data Point Tracking
Track your readiness across all 1,100+ ESRS data points with a comprehensive compliance dashboard. See at a glance which data points are complete, in progress, or missing — and prioritise collection efforts based on materiality and assurance requirements.
Double Materiality Support
Conduct CSRD-aligned double materiality assessments using ESG:ONE's integrated materiality module. Assess both impact materiality and financial materiality for every ESRS topic, with structured scoring, stakeholder engagement, and audit-ready documentation of your process and conclusions.
Assurance Readiness
Prepare for limited and reasonable assurance from day one. Every data point includes a complete audit trail showing data sources, collection methods, validation steps, and approval chains. Export assurance-ready documentation packages that give auditors everything they need to verify your disclosures.
Value Chain Integration
Meet CSRD's value chain reporting requirements by connecting supplier ESG data, Scope 3 emissions calculations, and downstream impact assessments into your ESRS disclosures. Automated data flows from supplier management and carbon accounting modules populate value chain data points.
