CSRD & ESG Compliance Assessment

Once ESG was a marketing chat for the annual report intro. Since 2024 it has been a mandatory reporting standard: CSRD-obliged, externally audited, with double materiality, ESRS data points and both financial and non-financial consequences. Companies that don't engage lose tenders and financing. The CSRD & ESG Compliance Assessment measures in 20 multiple-choice questions whether a candidate knows what the rules ask, which data points matter, and how the reporting relates to existing audit processes. For sustainability officers, controllers, HR, procurement and lawyers guiding clients through this.

3 Reasons we love this assessment

01
From marketing to audit
ESG has moved from communications to finance. The test checks whether a candidate understands it is now about numbers, controls and accountability, not photo campaigns.
02
Double materiality
The concept forcing every CSRD analysis to weigh both the impact on the world and the impact of the world on the business. The test gauges whether the candidate grasps the distinction and can apply it in practice.
03
ESRS data points, no jargon
The hundreds of mandatory data points are daunting. The test shows which belong to the basics (E1 climate, S1 own workforce, G1 governance) and which a candidate should be able to find without printing the manual.
