CSRD reporting: Confident and efficient compliance with sustainability reporting requirements

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is changing the rules of corporate reporting. What was optional yesterday is now mandatory: a transparent, audit-proof, and comprehensive presentation of your sustainability performance. 

With our CSR software ID-Report, you can not only meet this challenge in compliance with regulations, but also create strategic added value for your company.

Although the Omnibus Act has the application of the CSRD forpostponed companies, it is still worthwhile to start implementation early and some thus prepare strategically for its implementation.

Starting point: The new reality of the CSRD
The CSRD expands reporting requirements for thousands of companies in Europe. It requires detailed disclosure of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects in accordance with the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This development increases the pressure to systematically collect and validate sustainability data and integrate it into the management report.

The problem: Complex requirements, manual processes
Many companies face the challenge of consolidating data from a wide variety of sources. Manual processes, unstructured data, and a lack of standards lead to high costs, a lack of transparency, and poor data quality.

The consequence:
This is an error-prone, inefficient process that ties up valuable resources and jeopardizes audit reliability.

The challenges of CSRD reporting

Implementing CSRD requirements is more than just a regulatory obligation – it is a strategic challenge. Companies must create a valid and comprehensive information base that meets the strict requirements of the ESRS. This requires collaboration between a wide range of departments, the involvement of external stakeholders, and the consolidation of data from different systems and locations.

The complexity of data collection, ensuring data quality, and the need for complete documentation for external auditing pose major hurdles for many organizations. Without a centralized, automated solution, CSRD reporting quickly becomes a confusing and resource-intensive project.

ID-Report: Your solution for integrated CSRD reporting

This is exactly where our CSR software ID-Report comes in. We give you the freedom to focus on strategic sustainability tasks by automating data collection processes and controlling tasks. ID-Report is your central platform for efficient and verifiable sustainability management. The path to your compliant CSRD report is based on three pillars:

Comprehensive information gathering

A valid and comprehensive information base is the foundation for effective sustainability measures. With ID-Report, you can define your information needs individually and directly involve internal and external stakeholders. The software generates intelligently guided online surveys based on your specifications or accesses existing systems directly via interfaces. This creates a central, structured information pool covering all sustainability-related aspects of your company.

Since ID-Report is provided as a private cloud solution, we can offer your IT department a wide range of access options. In addition, we can also develop solutions for information gathering for you customized.

Intelligent data processing

Collecting data across different locations and language areas often leads to inconsistent results. ID-Report automatically analyzes key figures and data using AI methods and effortlessly processes even different response formats or qualitative (textual) content . With the integrated data analytics module, you can generate real-time evaluations across different dimensions, perform CO₂ calculations, or make comparisons across different time periods.

A central information system

The establishment of a high-quality, centralized information and management system enables flexible and efficient work. ID-Report serves as a central source of information for a wide range of areas and addresses the ad hoc needs of different management levels. You can create reports and web-based views independently directly in ID-Report and compile interactive online reports at short notice, publish a sustainability report, or create your CO2 balance sheet.
