ESG, what is that?

ESG refers to Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance. It's an approach to sustainability that focuses on the three key areas of corporate responsibility: environment, social impact, and corporate governance. ESG-related issues have taken on an increasingly important role in business operations in recent years. Companies are being urged to pay more attention to sustainability and responsibility, and to report on their ESG performance.

From ESG to CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Report Directive)

From 2024/2025, certain companies will already be required to report on sustainability and performance. This information must be reviewed by an accountant. The aim here is to increase transparency about the environment and social impact and thus contribute to the transition to a sustainable economy. This is in line with the Paris climate goals. In short, many companies are already actively working.

For whom?

For a number of years, companies with a public interest and more than 500 employees have started. This includes banks, insurers and listed companies.

In the coming years, however, more and more companies will be coming here, and therefore sectors bee.
Companies that must also comply with this 2024/2025 are companies that meet the following 2 of the following 3 criteria:

  • More than 250 employees
  • More than 40 million in turnover
  • More than 20 million on the balance sheet.

However, companies that do not have to meet these requirements directly are increasingly encouraged to implement these CSRD principles in their business operations and to communicate their performance in this area. This can help companies improve their reputation, attract customers and convince investors.

Support with a digital management system

A digital management system can help companies make their CSDR assurance more efficient. Such a system makes it possible to manage data and information in a structured and transparent way. This can facilitate the reporting process and improve communication of a company's CSRD performance. Here are some of the ways digital management systems can improve CSRD assurance:

Improved data collection and reporting

A digital management system can help companies collect and analyze data related to CSRD. The system can be used to collect data on environmental performance, social impact and corporate governance. This data can then be used to prepare reports and analyse performance.

Transparent and structured reporting

With a digital management system, companies can prepare CSRD reports in a structured and transparent way. The system can be used to structure and report data according to international standards. This makes it easier for stakeholders to understand and compare company performance with other companies.

Better stakeholder communication

A digital management system can help companies communicate their ESG performance with stakeholders. The system can be used to publish CSRD reports on the company's website and to provide information to investors and other stakeholders. This can improve the company's reputation and increase stakeholder trust.

Better risk management

By using a digital management system, companies can better manage risks. The system can be used to identify and manage environmental, social impact and corporate governance risks. This can help companies be proactive in reducing risks and complying with legal requirements.

More efficient business operations

A digital management system can help companies make their business operations more efficient. The system can be used to streamline and automate processes. This can reduce costs and increase productivity. In addition, the system can help companies make decisions based on data and analysis.

Improved regulatory compliance

A digital management system can help companies comply with CSRD regulations. The system can be used to comply with environmental, social impact and corporate governance laws and regulations. This can help companies comply with legal requirements and avoid fines and other penalties.

In short, a digital management system can help companies improve their CSRD assurance by collecting and analyzing data, reporting performance in a structured and transparent way, communicating performance to stakeholders, managing risks, and improving business efficiency. It's important to emphasize that a digital management system is just a tool and companies should continue to strive to improve their CSRD performance through continuous monitoring, evaluation, and improvement.
