On 22 December 2023, the first set of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)) was published in the Official Journal of the EU.
These sector-agnostic reporting standards specify the sustainability information that companies will need to report on in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
They are directly applicable in all Member States and will apply from 1 January 2024 (for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2024).
For more details on the ESRS, see our previous blog post.
