Are you ready for the CSRD?
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) marks a significant step forward in sustainability reporting. With expanded scope, mandatory ESG disclosures and assurance requirements, businesses must be prepared to align with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
LRQA’s Pre-verification Services help you assess readiness, identify gaps and build robust reporting processes to ensure compliance. Pre-verification can help organisations avoid penalties and ensure compliance with CSRD requirements. By improving transparency and reliability in ESG reporting, you can build stakeholder trust, enhance your reputation and gain a competitive edge as a leader in sustainability.
