Sustainability Reporting
Standards in support of Sustainability Reporting
CEN and CENELEC are working hard to support companies across many sectors to report on their sustainability performance under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
This work is important for efficiency, clarity and consistency in the development of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) by linking them as closely as possible with CEN, CENELEC, ISO and IEC standards.
The CSRD requires companies to report on their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, which represent an opportunity to improve performance in these areas.
Investors and financial markets are increasingly paying attention to the sustainability of the companies in which they choose to invest.
For a long time CEN, ISO, CENELEC, IEC standards have been helping organizations’ achieve their ESG objectives and in future will enable them to improve the robustness of their sustainability reporting.
