The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is transforming how thousands of businesses disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. The first wave of reporting under the European Union’s enhanced framework is already underway, requiring organisations to adopt Double Materiality Assessments (DMA) and align with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
The CSRD extends beyond the EU, applying to non-EU companies with significant operations in the region. Its aim is to provide consistent, comparable, and verifiable sustainability data to stakeholders and investors. The directive requires businesses to integrate ESG reporting into governance, risk, and strategy processes, significantly raising expectations on transparency and accountability.
To support companies with these new requirements, Tunley Environmental will host a webinar titled “Navigating CSRD: What’s Changing and How to Get Ready” on Thursday, 11 September 2025, from 16:00 to 17:00 BST. The session will provide practical guidance on understanding CSRD’s requirements and exploring how compliance can strengthen corporate sustainability strategies.
Key topics to be addressed
- Overview of CSRD and its environmental reporting requirements
- The purpose and process of Double Materiality Assessments
- Practical insights into the five ESRS environmental standards (E1–E5)
- Steps to begin preparing for CSRD compliance
The webinar is aimed at senior leaders and teams responsible for sustainability, compliance, and finance functions. It is also relevant for organisations looking to align with global reporting trends.
Dr Aaron Yeardley, Co-Head of Science at Tunley Environmental and lead presenter, said: “I am genuinely excited about the CSRD. It forces businesses to face sustainability head-on. I really like how it builds real accountability into everyday operations. It touches on all key environmental topics, yet it ensures each company focuses only on the ones that are material to their specific impacts and risks.”
