CSRD: Germany lags behind in implementat • Table.Briefings

Romanian capital Bucharest: Germany is doing far too little to implement the CSRD, while comparatively poor Romania is even exceeding the targets set by Brussels.

The EU has set uniform standards for sustainability reporting. However, the EU member states are at different stages of national implementation of the directive, which had to be completed by the beginning of July.

Germany is one of seven countries in Europe that did not meet the deadline for implementing the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on July 6. This is according to the „Transposition Tracker“ published by the New York law firm Ropes & Gray, which documents the progress of national legislation on a monthly basis. It examines the 27 EU countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The deadline marked the end of the 18 months that the states had for the introduction of the EU directive.
