CSRD
The CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) represents a major shift in the regulation of transparency obligations related to sustainability. Transposed into French law and in force since January 1, 2024, it imposes precise and standardized requirements for the communication of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information. This reform responds to the growing demand for corporate social responsibility, allowing stakeholders to have a clearer and more reliable view of the non-financial impacts of organizations.
Who is affected?
Since January 1, 2024, the directive applies to listed companies meeting the following criteria:
- More than 500 employees.
- A turnover of over €50 million or a balance sheet total of more than €25 million.
These companies must prepare a sustainability report for the 2024 fiscal year, to be published in 2025.
From January 1, 2025, the scope expands to companies exceeding two of the following three thresholds:
- More than 250 employees.
- A turnover of €50 million or more.
- A balance sheet total of €25 million or more.
These companies will need to prepare a sustainability report for the 2025 fiscal year, to be published in 2026.
