Coompass stands at the forefront of this evolution, offering innovative solutions that align with the latest ESG standards. As the world shifts toward a more sustainable future, understanding and adopting these standards has never been more crucial. And this is why we strongly believe that ESG adoption here to stay.
As the European Union tightens its grip on corporate sustainability through the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the countdown for companies to enhance their ESG practices has begun. These directives are not just regulatory hurdles; they are fundamental shifts in how businesses will operate and be judged in the future.
Timing Is Everything
We believe that the momentum for ESG adoption is accelerating. The ability to efficiently manage and report on ESG activities is becoming a cornerstone of corporate responsibility. As companies strive to meet their sustainability goals, the need for a robust, user-friendly platform like Coompass is clear. Our mission at Coompass is to redefine ESG standards through innovative solutions that empower companies to not only meet but exceed their sustainability and social responsibility goals. We provide an integrated platform for managing corporate volunteer programs, enhancing transparency, efficiency, and impact, while driving measurable community engagement.
The need for strong ESG reporting and management has never been more urgent, driven by recent European directives that are reshaping corporate sustainability practices. Two crucial directives, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), are establishing new standards and broadening the scope of corporate responsibility.
These new ESG directives impose a strict timeline for companies to align their operations with sustainability goals and reporting standards. Companies must act now to ensure they are compliant and can leverage ESG practices as a strategic advantage.
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which became effective on January 1, 2024, significantly expands the scope of mandatory EU corporate sustainability reporting. Unlike its predecessor, the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), which applied to only 11,700 companies, the CSRD is expected to have an impact on over 50,000 organizations.
But who’s really impacted by the CSRD?
- Large EU and EU-Listed Companies: This includes companies with over 250 employees, more than €40 million in net turnover, or over €20 million in total assets.
- Non-EU Companies: Those with a turnover of €150 million or more in the EU and at least one subsidiary or branch in the Union.
Exclusions include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) unless they are listed on regulated markets. The CSRD will be rolled out in phases:
- Large Public Interest Companies: Must comply starting January 1, 2024, with reports due in 2025.
- Other Large Companies: Must comply starting January 1, 2025, with reports due in 2026.
- Listed SMEs: Compliance starts January 1, 2026, with reports due in 2027, with an opt-out option until 2028.
Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
The CSDDD focuses on the due diligence obligations companies have regarding human rights and environmental impacts throughout their supply chains. This directive mandates companies to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse impacts of their activities and value chains, further emphasizing the need for comprehensive ESG management systems.
