Revised ESRS & CSRD 2027: How to Start Preparing
How to Start Preparing For 2027
This session bridges that gap. We deliver the regulatory precision you need to stay compliant, structured entirely around the operational decisions your team must make over the next 90 days. While the reduction in mandatory datapoints under the revised standards is a welcome relief, a leaner framework does not automatically shorten the time required to establish data ownership across a corporate group, align definitions with finance, or generate audit-ready evidence. That foundational work is precisely why preparation must begin in October.
What to Expect
- The Post-Adoption Reality: Exactly where the revised ESRS stand legally, what scrutiny periods remain, and what milestones must happen before they take full effect.
- What Set 2 Means for Seasoned Reporters: Key changes in ESRS Set 2 and strategic takeaways for teams already running mature ESRS Set 1 processes.
- Inside the Draft EFRAG Datapoint List: A close look at the freshly published draft list of datapoints. What changed, what dropped out, and how to use it deliberately to produce compliant, readable reports.
- The First-Timer's Execution Blueprint: A chronological sequence covering double materiality, cross-functional data ownership, gap analysis, and system architecture.
- Live Software Walkthrough: A targeted demonstration of denxpert's latest CSRD software modules designed to automate audit-ready data capture.
Who Should Attend?
This session is built specifically for corporate professionals leading sustainability compliance:
- Sustainability & ESG Managers preparing a first CSRD disclosure for FY2027.
- CSRD Project Leads & Reporting Coordinators tasked with cross-departmental execution.
- Group Sustainability Reporting Managers at multinational organizations managing EU subsidiaries or branches.
Key Takeaways
Following the European Commission's adoption of the revised European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) on July 3, 2026, companies across all reporting waves face a compressed window to determine scope, assess information materiality, and mobilize data collection for financial year 2027.
Most CSRD content on the market falls into two extremes: dense legal commentary written exclusively for external advisors, or high-level overviews that offer zero tactical help for building an internal action plan.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are the revised ESRS final?
The European Commission adopted the delegated act on July 3, 2026. It is currently undergoing a two-month scrutiny period by the European Parliament and the Council (with a potential two-month extension). The standards become legally effective immediately upon publication in the Official Journal, anticipated later in 2026.
When does my first report covering FY2027 take place?
Companies entering scope under this wave report on financial year 2027, with formal publication occurring in 2028. The revised ESRS apply to financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
Will the recording be available if I cannot attend live?
Yes. All registrants receive full access to the recording, slide deck, and supplemental resource materials shortly after the session concludes, regardless of live attendance.
