EFRAG:
Drafts of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ED ESRS) published
The thirteen draft standards are
- two cross-cutting standards, which contain general requirements and principles,
- five standards covering the environment,
- four standards covering social matters and
- two governance standards.
In addition, there are four documents with a total of 57 questions on the draft.
EFRAG is anticipating feedback on the following three key aspects:
- The relevance
(i) of the proposed architecture,
(ii) implementation of the CSRD principles and
(iii) the overall content of the individual drafts, - The possible options for prioritisation/gradual implementation of the ESRS,
- The appropriateness of the individual disclosure requirements, which are prescribed in the individual drafts.
A second set with sector-specific and SME draft standards is to follow.
