  1. Understand requirements: Familiarise with CSRD and ESRS mandates​​.
  2. Set up data collection systems: Implement systems to track sustainability data across operations and supply chains​​.
  3. Adopt reporting frameworks: Integrate ESRS and other sustainability frameworks into the reporting process​.
  4. Leverage technology: Utilise CSRD software for automation and compliance​​.
  5. EngagesStakeholders: Involve relevant parties in the reporting to ensure accuracy and transparency​​.

Why is it important to have carbon management capacities in your CSRD solution?

Having an integrated carbon management solution is essential because it allows companies to seamlessly incorporate carbon-related disclosures from ESRS E1 directly into their CSRD reports. This is particularly important as, for most companies, E1 disclosures, which include carbon data, are material and therefore must be reported.

Carbon data points are part of the most complex to determine, requiring accurate calculations using verified methodologies and subject matter expertise. Unlike many other ESRS data points, which are often based on existing business activity data within a company's systems, carbon data must be precisely calculated, making an integrated solution crucial for accurate and efficient reporting.
