GAP analysis for CSRD and ESRS - with a focus on biodiversity

On January 1, 2024, the new EU sustainability directive CSRD comes into force. We help you get ready for the new biodiversity reporting requirements through our CSRD/ESRS GAP analysis.

The EU's new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will impose entirely new requirements on your company's sustainability reporting.

The new directive also includes the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), a new common reporting standard for sustainability reporting. One part of the ESRS, E4, deals directly with biodiversity and ecosystems.

The new rules will enter into force on January 1, 2024 (2025 reporting). This means that your company already needs to prepare the information and data points to be collected in the fall of 2023.

CSRD and ESRS Important for investors and other stakeholders

The new CSRD/ESRS reporting requirements will ensure that investors and other stakeholders have the information they need to assess investment risks arising from climate change and other sustainability issues, such as biodiversity.

Ecogain offers GAP analysis with a focus on biodiversity

Our GAP analysis helps you and your organization to identify the gap between current sustainability reporting and upcoming requirements included by CSRD (ESRS/E4) related to biodiversity.

We analyze governing and accounting documents and then supplement the information with structured interviews and workshops. The work follows an efficient and targeted process:

Analyze current reporting
Identify future requirements and clarify what is needed to bridge the gap to meet the new reporting criteria.
Apply the 'dual materiality' principle to identify your greatest impact.
Link targets to identified areas of greatest impact and define relevant KPIs.
Preparing to implement the new requirements, ensuring follow-up and control

Who needs a biodiversity-focused GAP analysis?

If you represent a company subject to the new sustainability reporting requirements and need to understand your own impact and how it should be interpreted in the context of nature and biodiversity.
If you are a CFO or sustainability manager and need help interpreting the company's impact on nature
If you are a sustainability expert and need support in establishing data points for biodiversity monitoring.

Do you have questions about the new CSRD and ESRS directives or wonder if a GAP analysis is what is needed in your sustainability reporting for next year?
