From 2024, large companies in the EU will be required to report on their sustainability, climate or corporate social responsibility performance. This is laid down in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
The CSRD regulates in detail (in more than 1,000 criteria) what information must at least be included in the report, and this demands quite a lot from companies. We list a few sections:
CO₂ emissions from your IT hardware in scope 1,2 and 3
Figures on resource inflows, such as the number of kg of recycled material, renewable material and energy used
Figures on the outflow of resources, materials and products; how many raw materials, materials and products are thrown away? And how many of these are reused, repaired, dismantled, remanufactured or recycled?
Figures on waste, such as how many kg or what percentage is reused, recycled, incinerated and landfilled
To what extent are human rights guaranteed in the chain
To what extent have your choices contributed or will contribute to circularity (index)
What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) over its lifetime?
