Preparing for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)

The CSRD - short for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive - was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 16 December 2022 and entered into force on 5 January 2023. This landmark directive will require companies to report on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in a standardized manner. A sense of urgency is imperative, as there is a strict timeline. “But there’s no need to panic,” says Rihab Kaibi, ESG reporting manager and Steven Mulkens, executive director, from KPMG in Belgium’s Sustainability team. “There are clear steps to follow and specialists to guide you in this journey.”
