From the reporting year 2024 onwards, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into effect, including the reporting requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) on all material sustainability matters regarding impacts, risks and opportunities related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.

The ESRS, as set out in Commission Delegated Regulation 2023/2772/EU, is the first set of ESRS. They are sector-agnostic and contain 12 distinct standards. The standards are divided into two cross-cutting standards and ten topical standards. The cross-cutting standards define the general disclosures and requirements that apply to all the topics subject to the CSRD, regardless of materiality. The topical standards provide the disclosure requirements for environmental, social and governance topics.

The Sustainability Statements also include the disclosures in accordance with article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation), see section 6.2.5.
