EFRAG Eases the ESG Burden : A Smarter Path to Sustainability Compliance

The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) has proposed reducing the number of mandatory disclosures under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) by nearly 50%, which could significantly ease the compliance burden for European businesses. This proposal has been put forth as a result of months of industry feedback that the ESRS, in its current form, may be overly complex and resource-intensive particularly for small to mid-sized enterprises. 

The streamlined proposal focuses on materiality-based reporting, where companies would only disclose ESG metrics deemed relevant to their business model and stakeholder impact. This shift aligns with the European Commission’s goal of maintaining high-quality, comparable ESG data while reducing the administrative load on businesses. 

If adopted, the updated ESRS will allow for greater freedom in how organizations evaluate and report on material topics while still requiring compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This includes more sector-agnostic frameworks, fewer required datapoints, and altered data granularity.  

What does this mean for businesses?

Companies preparing for CSRD compliance should continue building strong ESG foundations but expect greater autonomy in how they scope and prioritise disclosures. The direction is clear: proportionality and practicality in ESG reporting will play a central role in shaping Europe’s sustainability landscape. 

Conclusion

While ESG compliance and reporting is a time-consuming and complex process, EFRAG’s proposed changes are a welcome recalibration that acknowledges the real-world challenges of ESG compliance. While the full impact will depend on the final guidance, this development signals a more business-centric approach to sustainability regulation in the EU. For companies, this is not a green light to scale down efforts, but an opportunity to report smarter, not harder. Let’s use this shift to rethink and realign to make our ESG strategies impactful!
