ESG Compliance & Sustainability Reporting

Sustainability reporting has entered a new phase. Regulations are broadening, standards are becoming more detailed, and businesses are expected to justify their commitments with data and consistency.

At Ergoprolipsis, we work with organizations to understand their obligations and build reporting systems that are clear, verifiable, and aligned with their business model.
Our goal is simple: help you communicate sustainability performance with accuracy and credibility — turning compliance into an organized, value-driven process.

Where Do You Stand?

Where does your business stand today?

The right reporting approach depends on your structure and exposure:

  • Are you a large or listed company falling under EU sustainability reporting requirements?
  • Are you preparing to meet investor or procurement ESG expectations?
  • Are you an SME that wants to organize internal policies and communicate accountability to partners?

Understanding your position is the first step toward a tailored compliance plan.

CSRD & ESRS

CSRD & ESRS – Europe’s unified sustainability reporting framework

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is the new EU directive replacing the NFRD. It requires large companies to publish sustainability reports using a single set of standards (ESRS).

The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) define how companies disclose performance across environmental, social, and governance dimensions.

It covers large and listed companies, gradually expanding to smaller entities.
A company falls under CSRD if it meets at least two of the following:

  • More than 250 employees
  • Turnover above €50 million
  • Assets above €25 million

⚠ Note: Thresholds are under revision. The EU’s “Simplification Omnibus Package” is expected to raise limits and streamline disclosure requirements by end of 2025.

  • Sustainability reports become equivalent to financial statements
  • Introduction of double materiality (impact of and on the business)
  • Integration of stakeholder engagement and value chain considerations
  • Digital submission and XBRL tagging
  • Alignment with international frameworks such as GRI and TCFD
VSME for ΜΜΕ

VSME – A voluntary sustainability framework for smaller businesses

The Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs (VSME) helps small and medium-sized enterprises structure their ESG approach with simpler, more proportionate requirements.

Targeted at SMEs aiming to strengthen their ESG standing and prepare for future demands, without disproportionate costs:

  • Companies with more than 10 employees
  • Turnover above €900,000 or
  • Assets above €450,000

  • Early preparation for future compliance
  • Competitive advantage in supply chains with ESG demands
  • Easier access to green finance and programs
  • Stronger reputation and stakeholder trust

GRI Standards

The global foundation for ESG disclosure

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) provides the most widely adopted sustainability reporting framework worldwide.

It offers a consistent, comparable way to communicate an organization’s environmental, social, and governance performance.

GRI Standards

GRI Structure

GRI follows a modular structure adaptable to different sectors and company sizes:

  • Universal Standards (GRI 1–3): general disclosures and material topics
  • Topic Standards (200–400): thematic issues such as energy, waste, human rights, labor, etc.
  • Sector Standards: tailored guidance for high-impact industries, including hospitality and services.
GRI Standards

Relationship with CSRD and other frameworks

  • Officially recognized by the European Commission as CSRD-compatible when used with ESRS
  • Aligned with initiatives such as UN Global Compact, SDGs, TCFD
  • Suitable for companies addressing international audiences
GRI Standards

Why use GRI
