CSRD and ESRS.

The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards — evidence organised by ESRS datapoint, prepared for disclosure and review.

What it asks for

CSRD requires in-scope companies to report sustainability information under ESRS: cross-cutting disclosures (ESRS 2) and topical standards on environment, social and governance matters, selected through a double-materiality assessment, with metrics, targets, policies and value-chain information and limited assurance over the report. The 2026 revision reduces the datapoint set; the structure is unchanged.

How EcoVeraZ prepares it

What is in place, and what is not yet.

Trust Center
Demonstrated in the productPrepared — evidence organised, binding manualPlanned
  • Disclosure pack in the ESRS 2 plus topical-standard structureDemonstrated

    The platform renders a CSRD/ESRS disclosure pack with the material disclosure rows in the standard's structure, from the shared evidence base.

  • Environmental datapoints (E1-5, E1-6, E3-4, E5-5) with an evidence row per valueDemonstrated

    Energy, emissions, water and waste figures come from the same KPI engines and factor library shown in the Evidence Console.

  • Row-by-row binding of each ESRS datapoint to live evidencePlanned

    Today the disclosure rows are prepared by the sustainability team against the evidence base; automatic binding of every row is roadmap work.

  • Double-materiality assessment workflowPlanned

    The assessment is held as a reviewed document; a guided assessment module is on the roadmap.

  • Social and governance disclosures as organised, reviewed evidencePrepared

    S1, S2 and G1 information is held as reported evidence with review status; no automated cross-check exists for it.

  • Limited-assurance hand-offPrepared

    The evidence pack, review history and certificate are exported for the assurance provider; EcoVeraZ does not provide the assurance.

Questions

Answers, at a glance.

Does EcoVeraZ produce a CSRD-compliant sustainability statement?

It produces a disclosure pack in ESRS structure from the evidence base, for the company to complete, review and publish. Compliance, materiality judgements and assurance remain with the company and its auditor.

Which ESRS datapoints have measured evidence behind them today?

Energy (E1-5), gross Scope 1 and 2 (E1-6), water (E3-4) and waste (E5-5) draw on metered and invoiced data; Scope 3 draws on supplier evidence for the categories the supplier module covers.

Does the 2026 ESRS revision change this?

The revision reduces the number of datapoints; the evidence behind each remaining datapoint is unchanged, so the same records serve the smaller set.

Scope, timing and the datapoint set are being revised by the EU; the versions cited were current at the review date and should be confirmed with counsel for each reporting entity. Framework names are the property of their respective owners and are referenced for identification only. EcoVeraZ prepares evidence for disclosure and review; it does not certify compliance and does not issue assurance opinions.
