ESRS are now a reality
Great news for the sustainability world! The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the new European standards for sustainability reporting, are now a reality.
What are the ESRS?
The ESRS are a set of 12 standards designed to provide a comprehensive and comparable view of a company’s environmental, social, and governance performance. These standards, aligned with GRI guidelines, will be phased in from 2024 and represent a major step towards a more sustainable and transparent economy.
What are the main ESRS?
- General requirements: Establish the basic principles and criteria for the preparation of sustainability reports.
- Environment: Cover topics such as climate change, pollution, water use, biodiversity, and the circular economy.
- Social: Focus on relationships with employees, the supply chain, local communities, and consumers.
- Governance: Address issues such as business ethics, anti-corruption, and transparency.
