Authoring a CSRD report
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) report replaces the NFRD reporting program. The CSRD report requires higher standards for sustainability reporting, covering more areas than before, like pollution, water usage, waste management, and biodiversity. You must report qualitative and quantitative information in the report.
To create a CSRD report, you can use the Reports section to create a CSRD instant report that provides quantitative data, and you can use the Author section to create a CSRD corporate report that provides qualitative data. For more information about creating a CSRD instant report, go to Creating a CSRD report.
Note
You must have the CSRD module activated for your account.
Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) for more information about this module.
