CSRD compliance made simple

Why Choose Horizon ESG as Your CSRD Reporting Software?

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive represents a fundamental shift in how European companies disclose their environmental and social impact. With over 1,000 data points across 12 ESRS standards, preparing a compliant report without dedicated CSRD reporting software is an enormous undertaking that strains internal resources and increases the risk of non-compliance.

Horizon ESG’s CSRD compliance software was designed from the ground up to address these challenges. Rather than retrofitting a generic reporting tool, we built a purpose-built ESRS reporting platform that mirrors the structure of the standards themselves — from cross-cutting requirements (ESRS 2) through to topical standards covering environment, social, and governance themes.

Navigating Double Materiality with Confidence

Double materiality assessment is the foundation of CSRD reporting, yet many organisations find it the most challenging step. Our CSRD reporting software provides a structured framework that guides you through both financial materiality (how sustainability issues affect your business) and impact materiality (how your business affects people and planet). The platform documents your methodology, stakeholder engagement, and conclusions — all critical for assurance readiness.

Connected Data Across All ESRS Standards

CSRD compliance requires data from across your entire organisation — carbon emissions, workforce metrics, governance structures, supply chain due diligence, and more. Our CSRD compliance software ensures these data streams are connected, so a single update flows through to every relevant disclosure. This eliminates the inconsistencies that auditors flag when data is managed in disconnected spreadsheets.

Built for Assurance from Day One

CSRD requires limited assurance from 2025, with reasonable assurance expected to follow. The ESRS reporting platform includes built-in controls, approval workflows, version histories, and evidence linking that satisfy assurance provider requirements. Your auditor can trace any disclosed figure back to its source data in clicks, not days. Combined with our AI-powered automation, you can draft narrative disclosures faster while maintaining the evidence trails auditors require.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ESRS standards does Horizon ESG cover?

Our CSRD reporting software covers all 12 ESRS standards — the two cross-cutting standards (ESRS 1 and ESRS 2) plus all ten topical standards spanning environment (E1–E5), social (S1–S4), and governance (G1). The platform includes pre-built data collection templates for every mandatory and voluntary disclosure point, updated as EFRAG issues new guidance.

Is the platform suitable for companies reporting under CSRD for the first time?

Absolutely. The CSRD compliance software includes guided onboarding that starts with a readiness assessment, identifies your applicable standards based on your double materiality results, and creates a structured project plan with timelines. Many first-time reporters use Horizon ESG to go from zero to a complete ESRS-aligned report in a single reporting cycle.

Can the ESRS reporting platform handle group-level consolidation?

Yes. For corporate groups, the platform supports subsidiary-level data collection with group consolidation. Each entity completes its own disclosures, and the CSRD reporting software automatically aggregates and reconciles data at group level — handling intercompany eliminations, boundary alignment, and consistent methodology application across all entities.
