Structured data, audited disclosures, and standardised formats. Your finance team is about to own a process that didn't exist a few years back. The platform you already use for financial reporting can handle these new requirements. [Book a meeting](https://www.finarchs.com/contact-us?hsLang=en) [See how we work](https://www.finarchs.com/about-us/how-we-work?hsLang=en) ![iStock-1824279555](https://www.finarchs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/iStock-1824279555.jpg?width=724&height=483&name=iStock-1824279555.jpg) What's changing ## Sustainability reporting is becoming mandatory, structured, and audited The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires companies to report on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics using the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This isn't a voluntary exercise or a section in your annual report written by the communications team. It's structured data collection, materiality assessment, quantitative KPIs, and disclosures that will be subject to audit. For finance or sustainability teams, this means a new reporting process that looks a lot like financial reporting: collect data from across the organisation, validate it, consolidate it, and publish it in a standardised format. ![trend-up-square](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/trend-up-square.svg) ### CSRD scope Large EU-based companies and non-EU companies with significant EU activity. Norway is adopting equivalent requirements. ![briefcase-check](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/briefcase-check.svg) ### ESRS standards Detailed reporting standards covering climate, pollution, biodiversity, workforce, and governance topics ![coins](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/coins.svg) ### Quantitative KPIs Emissions, energy consumption, waste, workforce diversity, safety incidents, and more — collected, calculated, and reported ![invoice](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/invoice.svg) ### Audit-grade evidence Sustainability disclosures will be subject to limited assurance initially, moving towards reasonable assurance The challenge ## Non-financial data. Financial-grade process. The data you need for sustainability reporting is scattered across the organisation — HR systems, facility management, production systems, supplier records, utility invoices. It's not in your ERP and it's not in your consolidation. But it needs the same rigour: collected consistently, validated, consolidated across entities, and reported in a format auditors can verify. Most companies we talk to are collecting ESG data in spreadsheets, often coordinated by a sustainability officer with limited access to the systems and processes that finance teams use every day. That's neither efficient nor sustainable when the requirements become mandatory and audited. ### Structured data collection Input forms and workflows for non-financial data from across the organisation ### KPI calculation engine Emissions, intensity ratios, and other metrics calculated from collected data — not manually assembled ### Multi-entity consolidation ESG data consolidated across subsidiaries, sites, and jurisdictions — same logic as financial consolidation ### Disclosure-ready output Sustainability disclosures produced alongside financial disclosures on the same platform ### Audit trail Every data point traceable to its source — who submitted it, when, and what it was based on ### Data governance Controlled process for who provides data, who adjusts it, and who signs off What we deliver ## Financial and non-financial reporting on one platform The same platforms that handle your consolidation and financial disclosure can collect, calculate, and report sustainability data. We extend what you have. ![briefcase-check](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/briefcase-check.svg) ### ESG data model design We configure the data structures for your sustainability metrics — emissions, energy, water, waste, workforce, governance — mapped to ESRS requirements and your group's materiality assessment. ![trend-up-square](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/trend-up-square.svg) ### Data collection workflows Structured input forms for contributors across the organisation — facility managers, HR, operations, procurement. Each contributor enters their data in a controlled process with validation and deadlines. ![rocket-launch](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/rocket-launch.svg) ### Calculation & consolidation KPIs calculated from collected data — Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, intensity ratios, year-on-year comparisons. Consolidated across entities using the same group structure as your financial consolidation. ![invoice](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/invoice.svg) ### Dashboards & monitoring Real-time visibility into ESG performance — kilowatt hours consumed, tonnes emitted, safety incidents reported, diversity metrics tracked. The same dashboard approach your finance team already knows. ![line-up-circle](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/line-up-circle.svg) ### ESRS-aligned disclosures Sustainability disclosures produced in the structure and format required by ESRS — integrated with your financial disclosure management so that your annual report is produced from a single source. ![coins](https://www.finarchs.com/hubfs/coins.svg) ### Audit-ready documentation Full traceability from published disclosure to underlying data point. When limited assurance becomes mandatory, the evidence is already in place — who collected it, how it was calculated, and who approved it. Same platform, new capability ## Already consolidating with us? You're halfway there. If your financial consolidation runs on OneStream, Oracle EPM, or Tagetik, your entity structure, your data collection processes, and your reporting infrastructure are already in place. Sustainability reporting extends the platform with new dimensions, new datasets and new reports — not a new tool. That means the sustainability officer and the finance team work in the same environment. Financial and non-financial KPIs sit side by side. And the annual report pulls both from a single source of truth. ### Entity structure already in place Your group hierarchy, subsidiaries, and consolidation logic are already configured ### Add ESG data dimensions New data collection forms for sustainability metrics — connected to existing entities and segments ### Calculate and consolidate KPIs related to ESG are computed and consolidated alongside financial data — same process, same controls ### Report financial and non-financial together Annual report, board pack, and regulatory filings draw from both financial and sustainability data Who this is for ## New requirement, familiar faces Sustainability reporting is landing in the Office of Finance whether it started there or not. Here's what changes for each role. For the CFO ### Own the process before it owns you CSRD puts sustainability reporting under the same governance as financial reporting. You need a controlled process, auditable data, and confidence that what you publish can withstand scrutiny. Building that on a platform you already trust is the most pragmatic path. For the Sustainability Officer ### Reliable data in, compliant filings out CSRD calculations are only as good as the data behind them. A structured data collection and calculation process means you spend time on interpretation and planning, not on chasing numbers from subsidiaries and building spreadsheets. For the Group Accounting Manager ### One platform, one close, one report When sustainability disclosures sit on the same platform as financial consolidation, the annual report becomes a single coordinated process. No separate data collection exercise running in parallel. Financial and non-financial data consolidate together. FAQ ## Questions about *sustainability reporting* This is a new process for most clients. Some clients have separate sustainability teams, other rely on their finance teams. Here's what we hear when companies start thinking about sustainability reporting. ### Can you report according to multiple standards or frameworks? Companies that use multiple standards and frameworks in their sustainability reporting can face greater complexity. However, the common denominator of all high-quality sustainability reporting is accurate data and effective management. Consolidating all of your organisation’s impact data in one reporting platform can, therefore, help to ensure a consistent reporting process.  ### How can we support an efficient reporting process? Sustainability reporting should be about more than compliance. When the reporting process is well integrated into your operations, it can become a valuable strategic asset – enabling you to target carbon emission hotspots and streamline your efforts to reduce environmental impact.  ### Does the system come with pre-configured KPIs based on ESG frameworks? Yes - they do, but you need to activate the datapoints that are relevant to you and your operations (typically based on a double materiality assessment). You can also add your own custom defined KPIs in addition to the pre-configured datapoints. ### How long does it take to configure the solution? It really depends. On the number of datapoints, on the quality of your data and the efforts from your own team. Implementing a solution for sustainability reporting can take everything from a few weeks to a few months.  Get started ## Ready to talk? 30–45 minutes, digital or on-site — no commitment.
