On 5 January 2023, the European Union enacted the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Adopted by the European Parliament in November 2022, the directive provides a reporting standard for large companies operating in the EU to disclose metrics for emissions, water use, and associated risk management strategies.
