Frequently asked questions
Recent EU simplification measures (often referred to as the Omnibus package) have reduced some ESRS datapoints and adjusted CSRD’s phased scope and timing, with the aim of keeping disclosures focused on material, decision-useful information. Requirements continue to evolve, so companies should confirm which provisions and transition arrangements apply to them based on size, listing status and jurisdiction. Read more >
The FCA's final UK SRS rules apply to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with the first reporting cycle expected in 2028 under a comply-or-explain framework aligned with ISSB standards. Companies should use this period to strengthen reporting governance, establish disclosure ownership, improve data traceability and implement efficient reporting workflows to support future sustainability reporting requirements.

Yes. Large Accelerated Filers and Accelerated Filers registered with the SEC are required to disclose Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and the requirements are designed to align more closely with international disclosure frameworks. UK and European companies with US listings should assess how these requirements interact with their ESRS and UK SRS obligations. Read more >
SASB Standards set out industry-specific sustainability disclosure topics, originally developed by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. They are now maintained by the IFRS Foundation under the ISSB, which integrated SASB and TCFD into a unified global baseline, so SASB content remains a relevant building block for ISSB-aligned and UK SRS disclosures.
