The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive is mandatory for thousands of organisations operating in the EU, including UK companies with EU operations, subsidiaries, or listings on EU-regulated markets. CSRD requires double materiality assessments, assurance-ready ESG data, and disclosures aligned to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. Simultaneously, the ISSB IFRS S1 and S2 standards are becoming the global baseline for sustainability disclosure in capital markets. Almost no training provider offers a practical programme that teaches professionals how to implement these requirements rather than describe them. XCSRD fills this gap entirely.
Across four instructor-led days, participants build ESG reporting practitioner capability across the complete reporting lifecycle: CSRD applicability assessment and mandatory timeline, double materiality assessment methodology per EFRAG guidance, ESRS cross-cutting and topic-specific standard application, IFRS S1 and S2 climate disclosure, GRI Standards 2021 alignment, TCFD and climate scenario analysis, Scope 1/2/3 greenhouse gas accounting, ESG data quality and assurance preparation, and ESG reporting governance. Every session applies to real reporting scenarios from listed companies and large private enterprises.
On Day 4, participants conduct a double materiality assessment for a simulated enterprise and design an ESG reporting framework. A senior sustainability reporting practitioner assesses methodology quality and framework design. XCSRD certificate and Practitioner Assessment Report issued together.
