CSRD reporting
The largest Dutch companies are currently subject to European CSRD legislation and are required to report on their impact. Even if you do not currently need to submit a CSRD report, it is important to prepare in advance. Gathering the right data and insights takes time—approximately 6 to 12 months for a company of average size. Would you like to know what CFP can do in this regard? Please contact us.
The CSRD enhances transparency around sustainability through monitoring and reporting. As an organisation, you also benefit from a greater understanding of your sustainability objectives. The CSRD has a broad scope and focuses on environmental, social aspects, and good governance – fully in line with ESG criteria.
The first steps towards a CSRD report
A CSRD report must adhere to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). These guidelines contain over 1000 data points, some of which are only mandatory if they emerge from the materiality analysis.
The first step towards CSRD compliance starts with a solid foundation: understanding CO2 emissions and conducting a clear materiality analysis. CFP Green Buildings assists organisations in compiling carbon reports and mapping out sustainability priorities. This not only provides a valuable basis for future CSRD reports but also helps organisations make strategic decisions and proactively respond to new legislation.
Our consultants work closely with your team to identify key ESG themes and analyse the impact of your activities. By starting early with CO2 data and materiality analyses, you are well-prepared for upcoming reporting obligations and create a strong foundation for further sustainability efforts.
CSRD materiality analysis
Double materiality plays a crucial role within the CSRD and requires organisations to map out both the risks to their business and their impacts on the environment and society. A CSRD report must incorporate both perspectives.
CFP assists organisations in conducting a CSRD Materiality Analysis. In close collaboration with your organisation’s stakeholders, we identify the key sustainability risks and opportunities. This is done based on analyses, surveys, and/or discussions to gain insights into stakeholders’ expectations. Do you need help complying with CSRD legislation? We are here to support you.
EU Taxonomy
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system that determines which economic activities can be considered sustainable. It aids companies and investors in making sustainable investments more transparent and in complying with ESG guidelines. For financial institutions and property managers, the Taxonomy is an important tool in financing and reporting.
CFP Green Buildings assists companies and banks with the practical application of the EU Taxonomy, including in the issuance of green bonds and the analysis of real estate portfolios. With the Green Buildings Tool, we provide insights into the sustainability of underlying assets and ensure transparency towards investors.
