The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into force on 1 January 2024, expanding the role of auditors in certifying companies' sustainability reporting. As a result of this directive, companies are required to carry out mandatory assurance of sustainability reporting. In addition, the statutory auditor of companies will also confirm sustainability information.

A sustainability report must be prepared and disclosed if the company or group:

revenue exceeds 450 million euros and

the number of employees exceeds 1,000.

The changes apply to fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2026. However, a company or group may apply the new provisions as early as fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
If a company or group has been required to report on sustainability for the fiscal year beginning in 2024 and continues to be so, the obligation to report on sustainability will continue uninterrupted.

It is also worth noting that sustainability reporting may become relevant for companies in other ways, e.g. if the investor has an ESG-linked gauge in the loan or the entity is part of the reporting entity's value chain. In addition, reporting can still be done on a voluntary basis, even if a venture does not meet the requirements.
