The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that mandates companies to report extensively on their sustainability performances and risks, with reports to be prepared according to the European Standards for Sustainability Reporting (ESRS). Companies with more than 1,000 employees and EUR 450m annual revenues are mandated to report under ESRS.

But even companies below the thresholds and also companies outside the EU might find that reporting under ESRS is beneficial.
We have developed our own specialized tools for ESRS reporting which have already successfully supported numerous companies in Switzerland, Germany, and the US in setting up their first ESRS-compliant reporting or preparing specifically for upcoming obligations.

We have developed two specific reporting models for ESRS →

ESRS Light is our streamlined entry point into ESRS reporting for companies not (yet) in scope of CSRD but wanting to align with European expectations and key stakeholder demands. It follows the official ESRS standards while focusing on the topics that truly matter for your business model and avoiding lengthy materiality assessments. The service concentrates on climate (E1), own workforce (S1), and corporate governance (G1) to provide clear, comparable sustainability information that meets the needs of customers, banks, and other stakeholders.

ESRS Ready is our structured program for companies that fall under CSRD or want to systematically prepare for full ESRS reporting. It covers double materiality analysis, test runs for data collection and information systems, and the development of a robust reporting concept, including mock-up reports or an ESRS Light report as an intermediate step. With ESRS Ready, you move efficiently toward your first full ESRS report along a clear timeline, reducing risks, shortening the learning curve, and ensuring that your reporting setup is audit-ready.

GRI Standards remain one of the strongest foundations for voluntary sustainability reporting because they combine global recognition, practical guidance and a clear focus on real-world impacts.

A globally trusted benchmark
Since their first launch, the GRI Standards have become the world’s most widely used framework for sustainability reporting, applied by thousands of organizations across more than 100 countries. This broad adoption creates a common language for companies and stakeholders, making GRI-based reports easier to understand, compare and trust.

Impact-focused and stakeholder-oriented
GRI is built around an impact perspective: organizations are asked to explain how they affect the economy, the environment and people, rather than only disclosing internal policies or intentions. Core principles such as stakeholder inclusiveness, materiality and completeness help companies focus on what truly matters and ensure that reports reflect their most significant impacts in a transparent way.

Flexible, yet structured for voluntary reporters
The modular structure of universal, sector and topic standards allows companies of all sizes and industries to tailor their reporting while still following a clear, internationally recognized framework. This flexibility makes GRI particularly attractive for voluntary reporters who want robust guidance without being locked into a narrow, regulation-only perspective.

Supporting strategy, transparency and credibility
Using GRI encourages companies to systematically collect ESG data, identify material topics and embed sustainability in strategy and governance, rather than treating reporting as a standalone exercise. As expectations from investors, customers and regulators rise, organizations that report in line with GRI can demonstrate credibility, strengthen stakeholder trust and position themselves as leaders in sustainable business practice—even when reporting remains formally voluntary.

The IFRS S1 and S2 standards, authored by the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board) under the roof of the IFRS Foundation are a new global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures, designed to bring decision-useful ESG and climate information onto the same footing as financial reporting. IFRS S1 sets out overarching requirements for disclosing material sustainability-related risks and opportunities across topics, while IFRS S2 provides specific guidance on climate-related disclosures, building on the TCFD recommendations. Together, they help companies explain how sustainability and climate factors affect their strategy, business model, cash flows and cost of capital over the short, medium and long term.

Momentum behind the ISSB Standards is strong: more than 20 jurisdictions worldwide are adopting or aligning with them, including major economies such as China, Japan and the UK, representing over half of global GDP.

We support companies in applying ISSB by translating the high-level requirements of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 into concrete, company-specific disclosure concepts, data models and governance processes. This includes running focused workshops with finance, sustainability and risk teams, building streamlined reporting architectures, and co-developing draft disclosures so that ISSB reporting becomes integrated, decision-useful and audit-ready rather than a parallel compliance exercise.

CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) oversees a global environmental disclosure system. Companies can use it to measure and manage the risks and opportunities they face in relation to climate change, water security and deforestation. Disclosing your results will earn you a CDP score—and a good score will allow you to credibly demonstrate your efforts to save resources and protect the climate. We are highly experienced in preparing CDP submissions. We’ll swiftly calculate your emissions, water usage and other impacts and prepare a convincing report.

The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures’ (TCFD) framework – when applied in the way it was designed to be – is more than a reporting template; it is a strategic analytical tool that helps companies understand how climate change affects their business and which strategic options they have in response. Its framework, built around governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and targets, guides organizations to systematically identify, assess and manage climate-related risks and opportunities across their value chain.

By using TCFD, companies can quantify their exposure to transition and physical risks, test their business model under different climate scenarios and evaluate the resilience of their strategy. This forward-looking analysis highlights where to adapt operations, reposition portfolios or innovate products and services, turning climate risks into concrete strategic decisions rather than abstract threats. At the same time, TCFD-based reporting gives investors better climate-related financial information and signals that the company is proactively managing climate risk and seizing low-carbon opportunities.

We can analyze your climate-related data, structure it along the TCFD pillars and develop a concise narrative that explains your climate risk management approach and strategic responses, particularly with regard to financial impacts.

Integrated reporting goes beyond traditional corporate disclosures and helps you monitor the full range of factors affecting your company’s tangible, intangible, financial and non-financial resources. It provides a strong basis for communicating how you create value over time and for promoting more integrated management across your organization, while we help you decide what to include and how to use the reporting process to drive internal change initiatives.

The concept was championed by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), a global coalition of regulators, investors, companies and standard setters that developed the Integrated Reporting Framework to promote communication about value creation. Today, its ideas and framework continue to shape global reporting practices by encouraging organizations to connect financial and non-financial information in one coherent narrative about strategy, governance, performance and future prospects.
