The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that mandates companies to report extensively on their sustainability performances and risks, with reports to be prepared according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). EU companies with more than 1,000 employees and >€50m turnover or >€25m assets, or non-EU companies with >€450m net turnover generated in the EU, are currently or will be mandated to report under ESRS. But even companies below the thresholds might find that reporting under ESRS is beneficial.

We have developed specialized tools for ESRS reporting, which have successfully supported numerous companies in Switzerland, Germany, and the US in publishing their first ESRS-compliant reports or preparing for upcoming obligations.

We have developed two specific reporting models for ESRS →

ESRS Light is our streamlined entry point into ESRS reporting for companies not (yet) in scope of CSRD but wanting to align with European expectations and key stakeholder demands. It follows the official ESRS standards while focusing on the topics that truly matter for your business model and avoiding lengthy materiality assessments. The service concentrates on climate (E1), own workforce (S1), and corporate governance (G1) to provide clear, comparable sustainability information that meets the needs of customers, banks, and other stakeholders.

ESRS Ready is our structured program for companies that fall under CSRD or want to systematically prepare for full ESRS reporting. It covers double materiality analysis, test runs for data collection and information systems, and the development of a robust reporting concept, including mock-up reports or an ESRS Light report as an intermediate step. With ESRS Ready, you move efficiently toward your first full ESRS report along a clear timeline, reducing risks, shortening the learning curve, and ensuring that your reporting setup is audit-ready.

GRI Standards remain one of the strongest foundations for voluntary sustainability reporting because they combine global recognition, practical guidance and a clear focus on real-world impacts.

A globally trusted benchmark
Since their first launch, the GRI Standards have become the world’s most widely used framework for sustainability reporting, applied by thousands of organizations across more than 100 countries. This broad adoption creates a common language for companies and stakeholders, making GRI-based reports easier to understand, compare and trust.

Impact-focused and stakeholder-oriented
GRI is built around an impact perspective: organizations are asked to explain how they affect the economy, the environment and people, rather than only disclosing internal policies or intentions. Core principles such as stakeholder inclusiveness, materiality and completeness help companies focus on what truly matters and ensure that reports reflect their most significant impacts in a transparent way.

Flexible, yet structured for voluntary reporters
The modular structure of universal, sector and topic standards allows companies of all sizes and industries to tailor their reporting while still following a clear, internationally recognized framework. This flexibility makes GRI particularly attractive for voluntary reporters who want robust guidance without being locked into a narrow, regulation-only perspective.

Supporting strategy, transparency and credibility
Using GRI encourages companies to systematically collect ESG data, identify material topics and embed sustainability in strategy and governance, rather than treating reporting as a standalone exercise. As expectations from investors, customers and regulators rise, organizations that report in line with GRI can demonstrate credibility, strengthen stakeholder trust and position themselves as leaders in sustainable business practice—even when reporting remains formally voluntary.

The IFRS S1 and S2 standards, authored by the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board) under the roof of the IFRS Foundation are a new global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures, designed to bring decision-useful ESG and climate information onto the same footing as financial reporting. IFRS S1 sets out overarching requirements for disclosing material sustainability-related risks and opportunities across topics, while IFRS S2 provides specific guidance on climate-related disclosures, building on the TCFD recommendations. Together, they help companies explain how sustainability and climate factors affect their strategy, business model, cash flows and cost of capital over the short, medium and long term.

Momentum behind the ISSB Standards is strong: more than 20 jurisdictions worldwide are adopting or aligning with them, including major economies such as China, Japan and the UK, representing over half of global GDP.

We support companies in applying ISSB by translating the high-level requirements of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 into concrete, company-specific disclosure concepts, data models and governance processes. This includes running focused workshops with finance, sustainability and risk teams, building streamlined reporting architectures, and co-developing draft disclosures so that ISSB reporting becomes integrated, decision-useful and audit-ready rather than a parallel compliance exercise.

CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) oversees a global environmental disclosure system. Companies can use it to measure and manage the risks and opportunities they face in relation to climate change, water security and deforestation. Disclosing your results will earn you a CDP score—and a good score is a credible demonstration of your efforts to save resources and protect the climate. We are highly experienced in preparing CDP submissions. We’ll swiftly calculate your emissions, water usage and other impacts and prepare a convincing report.

The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures’ (TCFD) framework—when applied in the way it was designed to be—is more than a reporting template; it is a strategic analytical tool that helps companies understand how climate change affects their business and which strategic options they have in response. Its framework, built around governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and targets, guides organizations to systematically identify, assess and manage climate-related risks and opportunities across their value chain. The Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) follows the same logic, extending this approach to nature-related risks such as biodiversity loss, land use and ecosystem degradation—recognizing that natural systems underpin much of the economy in ways that are only now being quantified.

By using TCFD, companies can quantify their exposure to transition and physical risks, test their business model under different climate scenarios and evaluate the resilience of their strategy. The TNFD complements this by helping organizations assess their dependencies and impacts on nature, using its LEAP approach (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) to surface nature-related financial risks and opportunities across the value chain. Together, both frameworks provide a comprehensive picture of environmental risk—climate and nature are deeply interconnected, and managing one in isolation increasingly means missing material risks in the other. This forward-looking analysis highlights where to adapt operations, reposition portfolios or innovate products and services, turning environmental risks into concrete strategic decisions rather than abstract threats. At the same time, TCFD- and TNFD-based reporting gives investors better environmental financial information and signals that the company is proactively managing both climate and nature risks while seizing sustainable opportunities.

We can analyze your climate- and nature-related data, structure it along the TCFD and TNFD pillars and develop a concise narrative that explains your environmental risk management approach and strategic responses, particularly with regard to financial impacts.

Corporate sustainability is only as strong as the way it is communicated. Our services turn complex standards, data and risk analyses into clear stories that help your stakeholders understand where you stand today and where you are heading. No matter which standard we work with, we always combine technical expertise with a communication perspective: Which information really matters for investors, customers, employees and society—and how can it be presented in a way that is comparable, decision‑useful and trustworthy? In this way, reporting becomes more than a compliance exercise; it becomes a strategic communication channel that shows how sustainability is integrated into your business model, governance and financial performance.

We support you in building consistent messages across formats—from ESRS‑aligned reports and GRI disclosures to ISSB‑ready investor information, CDP responses and climate or nature narratives along the TCFD/TNFD pillars. This helps you avoid fragmented ESG communication, reduce the risk of greenwashing and answer the different questions that capital markets, regulators and society are asking you—with one coherent storyline. Good communication is also about accessibility. We help you prioritize what to disclose, structure your content and translate technical analyses into language and visuals that different stakeholder groups can understand and use. The result is transparency that builds trust, supports your positioning as a credible sustainability leader and creates a solid basis for ongoing dialogue with your stakeholders.
