ESG and Third-Party Risk Management
The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a law that requires companies to report on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters, including those that arise from their supply chains, as part of their regular company disclosures. This new reporting was developed to improve consistency in reporting against sustainability goals.
The reporting requirements are called European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and generally align with traditional environmental, social and governance (ESG) categories, including:
