The CSRD has transformed sustainability reporting from a voluntary exercise into a regulated, audited compliance obligation. With ESRS requiring double materiality assessments, 1,100+ granular data points, and limited assurance from day one, most organisations are discovering their existing ESG processes are nowhere near adequate. This playbook gives you the complete operational toolkit to achieve and maintain CSRD compliance.

WHAT YOU GET: A THREE-PHASE JOURNEY

Phase 1: Diagnose. Seven domain assessments (30 questions each, 210 total) evaluate CSRD readiness across double materiality, ESRS data architecture, governance, value chain reporting, assurance readiness, internal controls, and disclosure quality.

Phase 2: Set Goals. Five PM template workbooks with implementation roadmaps, data gap remediation plans, stakeholder coordination matrices, and regulatory deadline trackers.

Phase 3: Implement. Nine operational runbooks covering double materiality assessments, ESRS data collection, GHG calculations, assurance preparation, and transition plan development.
