Introduction
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) continues to evolve. In 2025, the EU introduced a broad Omnibus simplification package and a targeted “quick-fix/stop-the-clock” amendment that adjusts aspects of CSRD timing and reduces reporting burden, while keeping the core objective—decision-useful, investor-grade sustainability information—intact. For listed companies across Europe the challenge is the…

That’s where scenario analysis comes in.

As ESG reporting moves from a voluntary exercise to a regulated, investor-critical function, sustainability teams are facing increasing pressure to deliver disclosures that are accurate, comprehensive, and aligned with evolving global standards.
Frameworks like GRI 2025, ISSB’s S1/S2, and other emerging mandates demand more than just well-meaning narratives—they require structured data, comparability, and…
