On April 14, 2025, Workiva highlighted the European Commission's CSRD Omnibus proposals, launched on February 26, 2025, which suggest potential changes to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. These proposals include updates to company size thresholds and may remove the mandate for sector-specific sustainability reporting standards.
The Omnibus I package also proposes introducing a proportionate voluntary sustainability reporting standard for out-of-scope companies and reducing 'trickle-down effects' by implementing a 'value chain cap.' Additionally, there is a proposal for a two-year delay for Wave 2 and Wave 3 companies in preparing CSRD-aligned annual reports.
Despite these potential simplifications and delays, core aspects of the CSRD are expected to remain unchanged, including the emphasis on integrated financial and sustainability disclosures, the double materiality principle, the requirement for limited assurance over non-financial reporting, and digitally tagged sustainability reporting. These proposals, if finalized, could alter the pace and scope of CSRD adoption, impacting Workiva's European market strategy.
