Let us manage your yearly CSRD reporting with our all-in-one service, which bundles reporting templates, a reporting platform, and yearly writing support.

The challenge…

Companies subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (hereafter 'CSRD') must prepare ‘Sustainability Statements’ as of 2024 that are:

CSRD reporting

Audited
as of 1st year report

CSRD reporting

+50 pages
with +400 data points

CSRD reporting

+2.0 FTEs
needed to maintain

In EFRAG’s guidance1, a tool is clearly cited as critical to ensure auditable compliance. Companies have 3 options:

  • Build
  • Buy
  • Managed by 3rd party

"We know businesses are navigating big challenges — geopolitical disruptions, high energy costs, resource shortages, and the push for sustainability. Add sustainability reporting (e.g., CSRD) compliance to the mix, and it can feel like there’s little room to focus on the business, competitiveness, and innovation. That’s why we want to simplify your CSRD compliance with our turnkey CSRD Reporting as a Service solution."

Client Success Story

Context

A leading banking group is in scope of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and must prepare its first CSRD-compliant sustainability statement. With limited sustainability resources, fragmented digital solutions, and a positive business case for our services, the banking group decided to onboard our CSRD Reporting-as-a-Service solution.

Our services

We deployed our CSRD Reporting Solution within 6-weeks and allowed the banking group’s sustainability resources to directly document their double materiality assessment and launch all data collection in our platform. The full CSRD report or Sustainability Statement was then prepared within our solution and shared with the auditors for review.

Outcome

The result? A robust, CSRD-compliant report, ready for assurance and future audits, delivered efficiently through our platform with a <1 year payback period.

"Choosing PwC's CSRD Reporting as a Service solution was an easy decision for us because it was the most affordable option to prepare our CSRD report, allowed us to focus our resources on our customers’ sustainability priorities, and gave our management peace of mind. PwC takes the guesswork out of becoming CSRD compliant and allows us to focus on what’s really important – our sustainability message."
