Mastering your CSRD and ESG Reporting: Join CtrlPrint at Edie 25

At CtrlPrint, we understand that compliance with these frameworks is not just about ticking boxes — it’s about demonstrating transparency, comparability and long-term value creation. That’s why we’re attending EDIE 25 (March 26-27th) , the UK’s leading event for sustainability, to help businesses navigate these challenges and maximise the opportunities that come with structured, machine-readable reporting, and this is how we do it.

Why CSRD Matters — Even for UK Companies

CSRD must be included in the Management Report. What we are currently seeing is CSRD disclosures are finding their way in an integrated fashion, into the annual reports.

EFRAG recommends that CSRD sustainability disclosures be included in the annual report to maintain regulatory compliance, enhance assurance, improve comparability, and strengthen investor confidence and governance oversight. This approach integrates financial and non-financial information, providing a clearer and more holistic view of a company's long-term sustainability and overall stability.

CSRD is being rolled out in stages, affecting an increasing number of companies over the next few years. As of 2024, it applies to large EU-listed companies currently reporting on Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), with further phases extending to other large entities and, eventually, smaller companies. Importantly, UK companies with significant operations or subsidiaries in the EU will need to comply. This means UK businesses that wish to remain competitive and maintain access to European investors should be preparing their sustainability report in line with CSRD.

A key feature of CSRD is double materiality, which requires companies to assess and report not only how sustainability issues impact their financial performance (financial materiality) but also how their operations affect society and the environment (impact materiality). This dual aspect means that businesses provide a whole view of their ESG performance, reinforcing the importance of structured, secure, and transparent reporting to meet stakeholder expectations.

With the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) coming into effect on January 17, 2025, financial institutions and their service providers, including those handling ESG and sustainability data, must adhere to strict cybersecurity and incident reporting requirements. Since ESG data is now a key factor in investment decisions and can directly impact share prices, DORA. mandates that sustainability data be handled with the same level of security as financial data. This means businesses must ensure that their ESG reporting processes operate in a secure and resilient environment to protect against cyber threats and data integrity issues, underlining the material importance of such data.

Given ESG reporting playing a critical role in investment strategies, businesses that don’t meet the growing demand for securely handled, machine readable and structured sustainability disclosures risk being behind the curve.

Join Our Workshop: Mastering your CSRD and ESG Reporting

One of the biggest hurdles in sustainability and financial reporting is the integration of compliance frameworks like CSRD into existing workflows. Many organisations struggle with data collection, regulatory understanding, and internal engagement. Our workshop at Edie 25 is designed to address these pain points head-on.

Led by our Product Specialist, Rahime, alongside former MEP of 22-years and architect of Europe’s first rules for corporate sustainability reporting, Richard Howitt. The session will provide practical insights into overcoming common reporting challenges, ensuring compliance and making the most of ESG data as a value-creation tool.

With over 16 years of experience in corporate and regulatory reporting, Rahime has worked with top financial institutions such as Pictet Asset Management and State Street Global Advisors, helping organisations bridge the gap between regulation and practical application.
