Disclosure, ESG

Shift Critical's latest blog breaks down the European Commission's proposed "Omnibus" amendments to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and what they mean for business. Key changes include:

- SME Flexibility: Voluntary reporting for SMEs and limits on value chain data requests.
