Take a look at our previous reports:

Disclosure requirements in ESRS covered by the Sustainability Statement

The table below presents the progress made on implementing the provisions of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards as published by the European Commission on July 31, 2023.

We also identified the topical ESRS standards assessed as not material during the reporting period: E2 Pollution, E3 Water and Marine Resources, E4 Biodiversity and Ecosystems, E5 Resource Use and Circular Economy, S2 Workers in the Value Chain, and S3 Affected Communities. As these topics were assessed as not material, the corresponding Disclosure Requirements were omitted and marked as “Not material” in the ESRS Content Index. Climate change (ESRS E1) was assessed as material, therefore, E1 Disclosure Requirements were included in this report.
