EU law is briefly outlined. Please note that no guarantee of accuracy or timeliness can be given. For further information, please refer to the websites of the European Union and chambers of commerce.
The CSRD ("Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive") regulates corporate reporting obligations. According to EU regulations, large and listed companies must publish regular reports on the social and environmental risks they are exposed to and on the impact of their activities on people and the environment. The directive was to be implemented by EU member states by July 6, 2024. Infringement proceedings are underway against Germany and Austria, among others, for failing to meet this deadline. Since November 2024, the European Council has been discussing mitigations under the term "Omnibus Initiative." The EU Commission is expected to present proposals for mitigations in the first half of 2025 to reduce reporting requirements related to the CSRD, CSDDD, and the Taxonomy Regulation by at least 25%.
