What exactly is double materiality and why is it relevant for my company?

Double materiality is the core of CSRD reporting and looks at sustainability from two perspectives: Impact materiality assesses how your company affects the environment and society (inside-out). Financial materiality analyzes how sustainability issues affect your business financially (outside-in). From 2025, reporting companies must assess both dimensions.

Is my company affected by the CSRD?

The CSRD applies in stages: From 2025 for large companies with more than 500 employees (already subject to NFRD). From 2028 for companies with more than 250 employees OR €50 million turnover OR €25 million balance sheet total (two out of three criteria). From 2029 for listed SMEs, although many will be exempt under the Omnibus Package.

What are physical vs. transitory climate risks?

Physical risks are direct impacts of climate change such as extreme weather, flooding, heat. Transitory risks are risks from the transition to a climate-neutral economy such as CO2 prices, new regulations, technology change.

Can the tool replace a full CSRD analysis?

No, the quick check is an initial orientation aid. For CSRD-compliant reports, you need a full materiality analysis in accordance with the ESRS standards and professional advice.

What does CSRD compliance cost overall?

The costs vary greatly depending on the size and complexity of the company. Initial estimates range from €50,000-500,000 for initial implementation.
