CSRD · Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

Your enterprise customers must report Scope 3. The next question is coming to you.

The EU's CSRD directive requires large companies to disclose environmental impact across their entire supply chain. That means they need structured environmental data — from you.

The Scope 3 cascade

How the requirements reach you

CSRD places requirements on large enterprises. But Scope 3 means they need data from their entire supply chain — and that includes you.

The enterprise

Covered by CSRD

Must report ESG data according to ESRS — including Scope 3 emissions from the entire value chain.

The data requirement

Scope 3 requires supplier data

The enterprise cannot report without data from their suppliers. They send questionnaires, set requirements, and request documentation.

Your company

You need to have answers ready

Environmental aspects, goals, KPIs, supplier assessments. Structured data that shows you have things under control — not a sustainability policy PDF.

The solution

Environmental management that's already structured

ISO 14001 in AmpliFlow gives you the data your customers will ask for. Not as a separate CSRD project — as part of your daily environmental work.

Environmental aspects and impacts

Identify and document your significant environmental aspects. When enterprise customers ask "what are your biggest environmental risks?" you have the answer ready — structured and traceable.

Stakeholder analysis

Map which stakeholders are affected by and influence your environmental performance. CSRD's double materiality assessment requires exactly this kind of foundation.

Goals and tracking

Set environmental goals with measurable KPIs and track progress over time. Your customers want to see concrete targets — not just nice words in a sustainability policy.

Preparation

What you need to have in place

Whether you are preparing for your own requirements or your customers' — this is what is needed.

Environmental aspects register

Document which environmental aspects your operations have — energy consumption, emissions, waste, chemicals. The foundation for all environmental reporting.

Stakeholder analysis

Identify who places requirements on you and who is affected by your operations. Customers, authorities, society.

Environmental goals with KPIs

Concrete, measurable goals linked to your significant environmental aspects. Deadlines, responsible persons, and follow-up.

Documented procedures

Processes for waste management, energy efficiency, chemical handling — documented and accessible, not hidden in folders.

Supplier register

Keep track of your suppliers and their contact information. Your customer needs Scope 3 data — and you need to know which suppliers are part of your chain.

Audit history

Traceability on what you have done, what you have improved, and where you stand today. Internal audits strengthen your credibility.

FAQ

Questions about CSRD and the supply chain

What is CSRD?

CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) is the EU directive on sustainability reporting. It requires large companies to report on their environmental and social impact according to the ESRS standards. The directive is being phased in from 2024 and progressively covers more companies.

Are we directly covered by CSRD?

Most small and medium-sized companies are not directly covered. But if your customers are large companies that are covered, they will need environmental data from you for their Scope 3 reporting. That is the cascade effect — and it is already underway.

What is Scope 3 and why does it concern us?

Scope 3 covers indirect emissions in a company's value chain — what happens at suppliers, transport providers, and customers. When an enterprise reports Scope 3, they need data from every supplier in the chain. That likely includes you.

How does ISO 14001 help with CSRD requirements?

ISO 14001 provides a systematic structure for environmental management that overlaps with CSRD requirements. Environmental aspects, goals, monitoring, auditing — everything CSRD requires reporting on already exists in an ISO 14001 system. It is not a coincidence, it is the same logic.

Is AmpliFlow enough for CSRD reporting?

AmpliFlow is not a CSRD reporting tool. It is a management system that helps you structure the environmental work that CSRD requires reporting on. You collect data, set goals, and document — then your enterprise customer uses that data in their report.
