How can AI support me with CSRD reporting?

  • Creation of best practices and sample responses for all ESG KPIs, including ESRS data points.
  • Use of generative AI for text editing to simplify and standardize output according to required frameworks
  • Extraction of any amount of data from reports and other sources to all related ESRS data points, taking into account the respective legal requirements.

How many data points need to be recorded?

The number of data points to be recorded varies depending on the company and individual requirements. For medium-sized manufacturing companies, the scope is currently typically around 300 to 400 data points.

What are the links between CCF and CSRD?

The CSRD makes the corporate carbon footprint (CCF) central by obliging companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and document measures to reduce them in order to create transparency regarding climate risks and opportunities.

Who is usually involved in the double materiality analysis?

Internal stakeholders: Employees, executives, management and, if applicable, the Supervisory Board.

External stakeholders: Customers, suppliers, investors, NGOs, political and regulatory actors as well as the local community and environmental organizations.

What is the double materiality assessment (DMA)?

In the context of the CSRD, the dual materiality assessment considers both the company's impact on the environment and society, as well as the financial risks and opportunities arising from sustainability issues. Material topics must be reported in detail with regard to their sustainability impact and financial relevance.
