What is CSRD? Key Facts & Impact Explained

What is CSRD?

CSRD stands for Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, a European directive that requires organizations to report transparently on sustainability. It encompasses environmental (Environmental), social factors (Social) and governance. Deepler focuses on the social component: how employees experience work, safety, development and culture.

Why are social factors important within CSRD?

Social factors are harder to quantify than financial figures, but equally important for sustainable business operations. Work pressure, inclusion, safety and development help determine whether an organization is future-proof. CSRD calls for insight into these topics because they impact stakeholders and an organization’s ability to perform.

How do you collect social data for CSRD?

You collect social CSRD data by asking employees about their experiences. Short, concrete questions about work pressure, safety, development, leadership and engagement provide useful insights. By measuring and analyzing periodically, you see trends, risks and effects of policies. This makes the social component of CSRD concrete and measurable.

From employee data to CSRD reporting

With structured data from employee surveys, you substantiate double materiality, identify social risks and formulate policies. The data also helps you report progress and evaluate improvement actions. This turns CSRD reporting from a separate exercise into an integral part of HR policy and organizational development.

“Recently, I used Deepler to arrive at an EVP. Great what they were able to achieve in a short time! In a period of two weeks, we collected information and were able to continue with our AMC plan. In any other situation, it takes weeks, if not months, to get this done. Contact is good, friendly and constructive. Very nice club to work with.”

“Ideal tool and company to gain more and better insight into the organization and employees as an organization! And especially with speed! For us, it was also the need to get tools for the topics of retention, to prevent future absenteeism or turnover. I also have experience with other parties and I sincerely value the speed of switching, follow-up and personal contact with Deepler. Absolutely recommended.”

“What makes Deepler special is that it doesn’t get stuck in numbers. It helps you immediately understand where it is and what teams need. For us, this ensured that employees themselves came up with areas for improvement and took responsibility for them. The insights were sharp and useful, but most importantly: the conversation that started afterwards made the difference. Thanks to Deepler, we didn’t get a paper plan, but change that was supported by the people themselves.”
