EFRAG Releases Draft Simplified Sustainability Standards

By Randi Morrison posted 8 days ago

  

EFRAG recently submitted its draft simplified ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) to the European Commission. A key component of the Commission’s Omnibus I simplification directive, the ESRS simplification is aimed at reducing sustainability reporting requirements for companies subject to the CSRD. Among other things, EFRAG’s release notes a 61% reduction of data points that are required if material, and deletion of all voluntary disclosures, as well as enhanced interoperability with the ISSB Standards. This “At a Glimpse” fact sheet highlights key changes from the current requirements. The Society weighed in on the consultations that informed the proposed revisions in May and September.

See this Gibson Dunn memo, EFRAG’s newly launched ESRS Knowledge Hub, and additional resources on our Sustainability page.
