Easy, compliant CSRD reporting? There's a tool for that

The race towards a more sustainable business has been running for some time. The CSRD, however, is truly propelling companies’ sustainability efforts forward. The clock is ticking: in 2025 already, large, listed companies will have to report on their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices and impacts under the new European directive. Others will follow in the following years. If you haven’t started yet, now is the time to kick off your journey!

The transition to comprehensive ESG reporting, though, can be challenging. After all, the CSRD is new to all of us. That is where Flexso’s innovative Accelerator for CSRD Reporting, comes in. Offering a structured approach and template, it helps you to

• Centralize all your ESG data and related documents in one platform

The CSRD Reporting Accelerator provides 11 Excel files where you can fill out all the quantitative data the CSRD requires you to disclose. In addition to fields for economic, environmental, social, governance and EU Taxonomy data, the files include text blocks to describe your ESG strategy, governance, impact, risk and opportunities, targets and measures (narratives). We even included templates and examples of narratives, which you can use as inspiration. Attach related documents and justification files to support your data.

• Create a digital, CSRD-compliant report

To meet CSRD requirements, companies are obliged to generate reports in a digital format. So, once you’ve inserted all the relevant datapoints, the Accelerator automatically converts the data containers to a pre-built report that is compliant with ESRS guidelines and digitalizes your report.

• Share your CSRD report with internal and external stakeholders, incl. auditors

In order to raise the quality of sustainability information, the EU decided that CSRD reports must get third-party assurance. Our app provides auditors with easy, secure access to your report. Excel-like pivot tables make it easy for them to review the data, to then add comments where needed. To further enhance accessibility, the report can be exported in PDF format, and graphs or tables can be exported offline into Excel or integrated with Excel.

• Analyze insights, in order to continually enhance your ESG performance

While ESG reporting is a necessity, compliance should not be your only reason to map your sustainability performance. Your customers, employees and society, too, expect you to work more sustainably. Your first ESG report is a perfect starting point to identify areas for improvement. Armed with detailed insights from the granular data in the report, you can identify hotspots and define targets, KPIs and actions to enhance your performance.
