The corporate sustainability reporting directive became part of the government's budget consolidation package
As a surprise to everyone concerned, the current Budget Consolidation Package, to become effective for the most part as of January 2024, includes a partial implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

i.e. to publish the sustainability report.
