#Go4ESG – How to prepare for ESG reporting?

The EU CSRD imposes an obligation on companies to produce ESG reports, according to an agreed calendar. If we think we still have time, we are sadly mistaken. Non-financial reporting is an engaging process that additionally requires time for adequate preparation.

New uniform standards - the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) - have also been adopted to which we will report in a consistent manner. »

#GO4ESG – BREEAM and EU Taxonomy

Although being separate schemes - both the EU Taxonomy and BREEAM certification apply to properties. Currently, BREEAM certification is compliant with the Taxonomy criteria at quite a high level - most of the Taxonomy criteria are fully or partially included in BREEAM certification as well. BRE Global declares that their certification will be increasingly compliant with the Taxonomy and they are committed to its further development. They have also announced a review of certification once the technical criteria for all EU Taxonomy targets have been published. These ambitious declarations will allow BREEAM to become increasingly compliant with EU legislation. »

#Go4ESG – CSDD

In addition, the European Union's emission reduction targets, require a thorough analysis of value chains. The answer to these problems is the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which addresses corporate sustainability due diligence and fills in the gaps in previously adopted legislation (EU Taxonomy, CSRD). »
