In February 2025, the European Commission presented an amendment proposal for the CSRD, CSDDD, and EU Taxonomy: the ‘Omnibus Directive’. This proposal suggests simplifying the regulations as part of a broader strategy to reduce administrative burdens. What does this mean for your ESG program?
For many large companies, the first year of CSRD reporting is almost here! SmartTrackers already helps many companies map the data points for their CSRD reporting. Are you interested in how our platform works? Then watch the recording of our online working session on January 28.
On November 7, SmartTrackers was represented at the inspiring Work Smarter Event, organized by our parent company, Visma. In addition to a focus on innovation and networking, there was also room to discuss current topics such as sustainability and regulations.
Many companies are currently working on the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which mandates sustainability reporting. Following the double materiality analysis, the next step is to gather the right data. Where and how do you collect the necessary data? And how do you ensure that this information is properly stored and processed for reporting?
The demand for effective ICT solutions in the ESG space continues to grow. To meet this need, SmartTrackers is committed to investing in expanding its development capacity. To provide our users with more transparency on our monthly progress, we’ve recently started maintaining a changelog in our user guide.
The concept of 'avoided CO2 emissions' is gaining traction. Companies are highlighting it in sustainability reports, and it appears to be a key focus of the CO2 Performance Ladder 4.0. Leo Smit writes about the importance of quantifying avoided CO2 emissions and the opportunities it provides to take a more flexible approach to CO2 reduction within the business chain.
As the CO2 Performance Ladder is becoming more international, so is our client base. Earlier this year, JONS Civil Engineering became the first Irish company with a CO2 Performance Ladder certificated project. We are proud to have supported this project!
The SFDR is not only used the way it was initially intended, namely as a disclosure framework. It is, in fact, more commonly used as a labeling and marketing tool. But what is this SFDR? And why is it important that we start using it correctly?
CSDDD: Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. A European legislation that holds companies in Europe accountable for their impact. The CSDDD exist simultaneously with the CSRD, which is most of all about reporting.
