CSRD: EFRAG welcomes the adoption by the European Commission of the Delegated Act on the first set of ESRS.

EFRAG welcomes the adoption of the Delegated Act on the first set of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) by the European Commission on July 31, 2023. The adoption of the ESRS through a delegated act is mandated by the co-legislators in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD – Directive (EU) 2022/2464), adopted in December 2022.

The twelve ESRS provide a proportionate yet comprehensive coverage of environmental, social, and governance issues across sectors. The European Commission’s adoption of this first set of ESRS represents an important step toward relevant and comparable reporting on the impacts of businesses on people and the environment, as well as the financial risks and opportunities related to sustainability for companies.
