CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive)

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU regulation that requires large companies to disclose their environmental and social impact. Its purpose is to make sustainability performance more transparent and comparable, so stakeholders can better assess how businesses contribute to a sustainable economy. Organizations that meet certain size criteria must report on how their operations affect people and the planet, covering risks, opportunities and measurable outcomes.

Why it matters in supply chains

CSRD raises the bar for sustainability reporting by demanding more detailed, standardized and verifiable information. For supply chains, this means companies can no longer rely on estimates or unstructured data. They must provide evidence of actual performance on topics like emissions, resource use and circularity. Beyond regulatory pressure, transparent reporting helps companies prove their sustainability credentials, build trust with partners and investors and gain a competitive edge in markets that increasingly reward responsible business.
