Confusing ESG acronyms? FOR EU : 1. What is the difference between ESRS and CSRD? While the CSRD(Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and ESRS(European Sustainability Reporting Standards) are interconnected, they serve distinct functions. In essence, the ESRS is a reporting standard that will be used to meet the requirements of the EU CSRD. So whilst the CSRD sets out reporting requirements and obligations, the ESRS provide the framework and methodology for reporting. 2. What is the difference between CSDR and SFDR?
