CSRD sustainability reporting & ESRS consulting

Are you ready for the new sustainability reporting?

The sustainability reporting of the future requires new, uniform reporting standards and an assessment of impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities of sustainability aspects according to the “principle of double materiality”. tec4U-Solutions supports you in implementing the mandatory sustainability reporting for your company in accordance with the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in a targeted and economical manner.

After sensitizing your employees to the requirements of sustainability reporting, we work with your specialist departments in workshops to jointly develop the topics relevant to you for your sustainability report and identify the necessary information and data points on this basis. As we come from a practical background, we guarantee you pragmatic implementation for quick, sustainable success.

Procedure and results of the workshop

1. Awareness-raising workshop with employees

  • Introduction to the topic of “CSRD” (overview of the EU Directive and explanations of the requirements, overview of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), materiality assessment)

  • Affectedness: Which areas of the company are affected by sustainability aspects or can have an impact on sustainability aspects?

  • Overview of the consequences & sanctions for non-compliance with the requirements

  • Result: Sensitization of the specialist departments to the requirements of sustainability reporting

2. Creation of a “long list”

  • Interviews with the departments involved (especially purchasing, sales, production, development, …)

  • Development of a “long list” with all potentially material sustainability topics in relation to the company

    • Material aspects from the internal risk management system, if applicable
    • Basis: sustainability topics from the ESRS
    • Addition of industry and company-specific aspects

  • Result: Collection of all potentially material sustainability aspects as a basis for the materiality assessment

3. Performance of a materiality assessment in accordance with ESRS & preparation of a “short list”:

  • “Principle of double materiality”
