The new non-financial reporting requirements (CSRD) – A comprehensive overview
Companies in the EU now have a greater responsibility for social, environmental and human rights aspects. The new non-financial reporting requirements (CSRD) oblige large companies and corporations to report information on their impact on society and the environment. This is intended to create transparency and comparability for investors and other stakeholders.
