Sustainability & ESG
At Forvis Mazars, we believe that generating profit can go hand in hand with sustainable business. We can help you set up a socially responsible business strategy, taking you from design to implementation to sustainability report and audit.
Sustainable and responsible business practices, known as ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), help organisations effectively manage risk, increase profits, reduce costs and improve their reputation and brand.
Key business stakeholders, including clients, employees, suppliers and investors, are increasingly paying attention to these parameters and making decisions based on how your business approaches ESG issues.

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)
As a framework for sustainability reporting, Set 1 of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) lay the foundations of the standardised common language for sustainability-related matters throughout Europe.
EU Taxonomy
The EU Regulation 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy Regulation) came into force in July 2020 and is part of the obligations for entities that are obliged to prepare an ESG report under the CSRD. The scope of the entities concerned is therefore the same as that set for the CSRD. The Regulation clearly defines what conditions an activity must fulfil in order to qualify as sustainable, i.e. compliant.
Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
In 2024, the EU completed the approval process for the Corporate Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which focuses on preventing and mitigating negative human rights and environmental impacts within corporate supply chains. The Directive substantially expands the responsibility of companies for the impacts not only of their direct business activities, but especially for the impacts of the activities of their subsidiaries and business partners. The new rules will affect companies operating in EU markets, with the effectiveness of the regulation differentiated according to the criteria of number of employees and company turnover. The first wave of companies is expected to be subject to the new requirements by 2027. The CSDD represents a key step towards strengthening corporate accountability for problematic aspects of their supply chains.
