FIEEC Hosts Successful CSRD Workshop, Paving the Way for Enhanced Sustainability Reporting
Paris, France – July 24, 2025 – The Fédération des Industries Électriques, Électroniques et de la Connectique (FIEEC) was pleased to host a highly informative and engaging workshop dedicated to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on July 24, 2025, commencing at 09:10. The event brought together key stakeholders from across the electrical, electronic, and connectivity sectors to foster a deeper understanding of the directive’s implications and to equip companies with the knowledge needed for successful implementation.
The CSRD, a landmark piece of European legislation, aims to significantly improve the quality, comparability, and accessibility of sustainability information reported by companies. It mandates more extensive and detailed disclosure on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters, aligning reporting with evolving stakeholder expectations and the EU’s broader sustainability ambitions.
The FIEEC’s workshop provided a crucial platform for industry professionals to delve into the complexities of the CSRD. Expert speakers shared valuable insights on the directive’s core requirements, including the enhanced scope of reporting, the introduction of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), and the crucial role of assurance. Attendees gained clarity on the practical steps necessary to integrate CSRD compliance into their existing reporting frameworks.
Discussions throughout the day focused on several key areas, including:
- Understanding the ESRS: A comprehensive overview of the newly developed European Sustainability Reporting Standards was presented, highlighting the specific disclosures required across various sustainability topics. The workshop emphasized the importance of understanding the materiality assessment process to identify the most relevant reporting requirements for each company.
- Data Collection and Management: The practical challenges of gathering, verifying, and managing the vast amounts of data required by the CSRD were a central theme. Participants exchanged best practices and explored innovative solutions for robust data governance and reporting systems.
- The Assurance Process: The mandate for external assurance of sustainability reports under the CSRD was a key point of discussion. The workshop provided guidance on engaging with assurance providers and preparing for the assurance process to ensure the credibility and reliability of reported information.
- Strategic Integration of Sustainability: Beyond compliance, the workshop underscored the strategic opportunities presented by the CSRD. By embracing enhanced sustainability reporting, companies can not only meet regulatory obligations but also build trust with investors, customers, and employees, and identify areas for innovation and competitive advantage.
The FIEEC remains committed to supporting its member companies in navigating the evolving landscape of sustainability and corporate responsibility. This workshop on the CSRD is a testament to that commitment, providing a valuable opportunity for knowledge sharing and collaboration within the sector.
The positive engagement and the insightful questions raised by participants demonstrate the industry’s proactive approach to embracing the CSRD and its potential to drive meaningful progress towards a more sustainable future for the electrical, electronic, and connectivity sectors. The FIEEC looks forward to continuing its support for its members as they implement these important new reporting requirements.
