Asset management Inflation and tax planningThe recent onset of rapid inflation is an unwelcome development that is having a widespread impact on US businesses and tax planning.
The Project Task Force on European Sustainability Reporting Standards (PTF-ESRS) has had the sole responsibility of preparing draft ESRS and EFRAG has now launched these EDs for public consultation.
These EDs will represent the first set of standards required under the CSRD proposal and cover the full range of sustainability matters, which are environment, social, governance and cross-cutting standards.
EFRAG is seeking feedback on:
- The overall ESRS architecture, content and substance, and specifically:
- on the practicality and efficiency of the proposed approach to materiality
- whether the ESRS and the proposed disclosure requirements do promote relevant, verifiable, understandable, comparable information and ultimately are adequate to support the production of faithful information
- whether the ESRS and the proposed disclosure requirements do strike the right balance between relevance, feasibility, preparation costs and decision-usefulness
- the completeness of the ESRS, in terms of datapoints and of disclosure requirements, per each sustainability topics / subtopics, and
- The implementation prioritisation/phasing-in opportunities and options to ensure the ESRS strike the right balance between covering all CSRD requirements and stakeholders’ expectations, paying particular attention to sustainable finance related needs, while achieving a reasonably ambitious enhancement of current reporting practices.

Our thoughts
We welcome the release of these proposed sustainability reporting standards because they will enable European preparers that are captured by the CRSD to provide sustainability disclosures that should meet the information of a wide number of stakeholders. These EDs are intended to build on and be compatible with those issued by the ISSB, which should reduce the amount of effort needed to comply with both sets of standards. Grant Thornton will be reviewing these EDs and providing written comments back to EFRAG for its consideration by the due date.
If you would like to discuss any of the points raised, please speak to your usual Grant Thornton contact or your local member firm.
