CSRD / ESRS Readiness

Practice: Sustainability · Type: Regulation

The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires in-scope companies to report sustainability information under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), including double materiality. Celeredge assesses CSRD readiness — double-materiality assessment, ESRS data points, governance and assurance-readiness — and ranks the reporting gaps.

Benefits​

  • Scored on CSRD / ESRS Readiness's own scale — not a generic rubric.
  • Every score is traceable to the client's own policies, reports and data.
  • Reporting gaps ranked by severity, ready to become the disclosure plan.
  • Surfaces double-materiality and assurance-readiness gaps before the auditor does.
  • A board-ready slide deck and a detailed report generated automatically.

When to use it​

  • When a company is newly in scope for CSRD and must report under the ESRS.
  • To run or pressure-test a double-materiality assessment ahead of disclosure.
  • To find ESRS data-point gaps before the first reporting cycle.
  • To check governance and assurance-readiness ahead of limited or reasonable assurance.

What it assesses​

Celeredge maps the client's evidence to CSRD obligations and the ESRS, flags missing or immature disclosures, and ranks the gaps. It covers:

  • Double-materiality assessment
  • ESRS data points
  • Governance
  • Assurance-readiness

Expected output​

Celeredge produces per-dimension maturity scores on CSRD / ESRS Readiness's own scale. Each answer carries a confidence signal and citations back to the client's evidence, and gaps are ranked by severity. The run generates a board-ready slide deck and a detailed HTML report. See Maturity Scoring, Reports and Deck Studio.

FAQ​

What is CSRD / ESRS Readiness?​

The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires in-scope companies to report sustainability information under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), including double materiality.

What does a Celeredge CSRD / ESRS Readiness assessment deliver?​

An evidence-based readiness assessment scored on CSRD / ESRS Readiness's own scale, with gaps ranked by severity and an auto-generated, board-ready slide deck and detailed report — every score traceable to the evidence behind it.

How does the assessment work?​

Clients upload their own evidence — policies, reports and data. An AI interviewer asks targeted follow-ups to fill anything missing, the platform scores against the framework, ranks the gaps, and generates the deliverables.

Celeredge runs an independent readiness and alignment review against this framework. It is not a certification audit and is not endorsed by the standard's owner. Framework and standard names are trademarks of their respective owners.
