CSRD & ESRS Readiness Diagnostic
Posted on:
Jul 11, 2026
About The Service
The EU's CSRD is pulling tens of thousands of companies into mandatory sustainability reporting, and the first ESRS disclosures are harder than most teams expect. Before you commit budget to a full CSRD program, find out exactly where you stand. This is a fixed-price diagnostic of your readiness against the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, anchored on the climate standard (ESRS E1) and the double materiality assessment that drives everything else. I review what you have today, your data, your governance, your existing disclosures, and tell you what's ready, what's missing, and what to fix first. You get the KS CSRD Readiness Memo: a clear, prioritized map from where you are to a defensible ESRS disclosure. A diagnostic, not a full build. One flat price, one clear deliverable.
Other Information
Customer Challenge
CSRD is the broadest sustainability reporting mandate in the world, and it does not ease you in. Companies in scope must report against the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), backed by a double materiality assessment, assurance-ready data, and governance disclosures most teams have never produced. Many companies discover the size of the gap only after they have committed budget and timelines, when the double materiality assessment comes back messier than expected or the data cannot survive limited assurance. The cost of finding out late is a rushed, expensive scramble against a hard regulatory deadline.
Service Solution
A fixed-price readiness diagnostic against the ESRS, anchored on the climate standard (ESRS E1) and the double materiality assessment that determines everything else you must report. I review your current data, governance, and any existing disclosures, then deliver the KS CSRD Readiness Memo: an honest, senior read on how far you are from a defensible ESRS disclosure and a sequenced plan to close the gap. This is a diagnostic that de-risks your CSRD program before you fund it, not the full program itself. One flat price, one clear deliverable.
Service Activities
What the memo includes: a readiness scorecard against the ESRS cross-cutting standards and ESRS E1 (climate), flagging where you are ready, partial, or missing; a review of your double materiality starting point, the impacts, risks, and opportunities you have identified and the gaps a datapoint audit would expose; a data gap analysis on whether your Scope 1, 2, and 3 and activity data can support ESRS datapoints and limited assurance; a governance and process check against what the ESRS expects; and a fix-first action plan sequenced by impact and deadline. How it works: a free 15-minute fit check by message, then you share what you have with an NDA signed first, then your memo within 15 business days.
Key Results
You know exactly where you stand against the ESRS before you spend on a full CSRD program. You get a prioritized, deadline-aware plan instead of a vague sense that CSRD is coming. And you walk into board and auditor conversations with a senior, documented view of your readiness rather than a guess.
Customer Value
You de-risk the most expensive sustainability program your company will run. You avoid the rushed, over-priced scramble that happens when the gap is found late, you focus budget on the disclosures that actually matter under double materiality, and you get a senior review from someone who works across CSRD, ISSB, CDP, and TCFD, at a fraction of a large firm's scoping fee.
