Sustainability: why the time is now

Private businesses often feel a responsibility to operate in a sustainable manner that creates both commercial and societal value. While sustainability is often seen as a 'nice-to-do', it is increasingly becoming recognised as a business imperative.

Sustainability as an opportunity for innovation

PwC's 27th Annual Global CEO Survey showed that only 52% of private business CEO respondents said that they had made progress on innovating new, climate-friendly products, services or technologies compared to 72% of listed company respondents. Acting sustainably is both the right thing to do and a real opportunity for innovation and long term profit.

1. Important: Every legal entity within a group, not just the ultimate parent company, must answer all the questions in the tool below to understand their potential CSRD status. 2. The Delegated Act (DA) amending the Accounting Directive to adjust the size criteria for micro, small, medium-sized, and large undertakings or groups has been published in the Official Journal following the end of the scrutiny period. The DA is part of the European Commission’s journey to reduce reporting requirements in the EU, alike the proposal for a decision amending the CSRD to postpone the second set of ESRS, and adjust the size thresholds (balance sheet and net turnover) by around 25%, reducing the scope of application of the Accounting Directive, the CSRD, and the Taxonomy Regulation. EU Member States are to apply the new thresholds at the latest from FY2024 and have the option to allow undertakings to apply the provisions from FY2023. Please contact the CSRD specialist in your territory to discuss your company’s specific requirements in more detail.
