The CSRD will increase the number of companies in Europe that need to report on sustainability from 11,000 to nearly 50,000 companies.
Crucially — for the first time — one of the key mandatory topics for companies to disclose will be related to their resource use and circular economy performance.
However, the recent Nature benchmark from the World Benchmarking Alliance shows that few companies are ready for this new obligation. Whereas 77% of European companies touch upon the topic of circular economy in their sustainability reports, only 22% of them include one or more of the quantitative indicators that are included in the CSRD.
To help European companies prepare for new legislation, Circle Economy and World Benchmarking Alliance organised the webinar ‘Is your company ready for Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)?’. The webinar explored the challenges brought about by CSRD as well as the best practices of circular economy performance reporting.
