CSRD is here to stay: how will brands comply to the new transparency reporting rules?

The European Union recently implemented new reporting rules, also known as Non-Financial Reporting Directive, for companies that are designed to increase transparency and accountability, as well as increase traceability in the supply chain. All EU companies are now required to disclose information about the sourcing of their raw materials and the conditions under which they are obtained through the use of impact labels. This includes information about the environmental and social impacts of these materials, as well as any potential human rights abuses. This increased transparency will help companies identify and address potential risks in their supply chain, and improve their overall sustainability performance.

Considering that the EU’s most extensive sustainability reporting directive CSRD will enter into effect in January 2025 and will cover the fiscal year 2024, it’s important for companies to accelerate their processes in order to become CSRD complacent.

In order to comply with these requirements, brands must conduct a thorough assessment of their products to understand their environmental and social impacts. Brands must also ensure that the information provided on the impact labels is accurate and verifiable, and must be able to provide evidence to support the claims made on the label. This will require companies to develop robust systems for tracking and reporting the environmental and social impacts of their products throughout the supply chain.

Brands must also develop a strategy for communicating this information to consumers through the use of impact labels.
