OnHand handbook cover for 'Get Ready for CSRD'

Prepare for a new era of social value and sustainability reporting

We’re entering a new era in impact reporting, and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is setting the new standard.

Understand the definition of corporate social responsibility and how CSRD connects to your CSR strategy with OnHand. Our tools help you streamline and showcase your social value and sustainability efforts through one simple platform.

Launched by the European Commission in 2022 and coming into play in 2024, CSRD is set to revolutionise sustainability reporting and drive more corporate responsibility. It’s a game-changer in the business world, ensuring companies are crystal clear about their social impact measurement and environmental efforts.

This handbook will guide you through the essentials of CSRD, including:

  • What CSRD is and its background

  • Who needs to comply and when

  • New reporting requirements

  • Why it matters

  • How it can boost your business

The need-to-know

The CSRD is a new regulation requiring companies to report on the social responsibility of business and environmental impacts across their activities and supply chains.

The European Commission developed this directive in 2022, and it came into action in 2024. Think of it as the overarching framework for sustainability reporting.

On top of this, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are closely linked to CSRD. If CSRD is the overarching system, think of ESRS as the details within the system. These standards provide specific guidelines for measuring social impact and tracking environmental progress.

Why does CSRD matter?

Investors and consumers deserve to know the examples of social responsibility undertaken by the companies they’re supporting.

CSRD matters because it:

  • Closes the accountability gap

  • Supports the Green Deal initiative

  • Ends greenwashing

  • Protects and promotes green investment

For the full picture on why these changes matter to your business, download the handbook.

Even if CSRD doesn’t affect your business right now, the directive demonstrates a serious shift in impact reporting. Investor and consumer expectations have never been higher – and the CSRD will only raise the bar.
