On 6 May 2026, the EU Commission launched a one‑month “Have‑Your‑Say” public feedback on draft final versions of revised European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The revised standards aim to reduce administrative burdens while maintaining sustainability objectives. ISEAL submitted into the consultation.

ISEAL welcomes the EU CSRD’s objectives to enhance transparency with clear and comparable information on a company’s sustainability practices and to drive continuous improvement in sustainability efforts. ISEAL also acknowledges the important role that EU CSRD plays as a driver of high-quality sustainability reporting, including its focus on double materiality.

We call for reference to credible practice and the ISEAL Code, and stronger recognition of the roles of credible standards, including on identifying material issues and providing sustainability data for reporting.
