Assess, build, or remediate an organization's ESG and sustainability reporting program against the major international frameworks: EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD, Directive 2022/2464/EU) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS 1/ESRS 2 and all 12 topical standards); EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD, Directive 2024/1760/EU, as amended by Omnibus I, March 2026); UK climate disclosure rules (FCA PS20/17, PS21/24, PS23/16 SDR, UK SRS S1/S2 published February 2026, SECR); US SEC Climate Disclosure Rules (Release Nos. 33-11275/34-99678, stayed 2024); California Climate Accountability Package (SB 253 CCRSA + SB 261 CSRFA); ISSB/IFRS S1 (General Sustainability Disclosures) and IFRS S2 (Climate-Related Disclosures); EU Taxonomy Regulation (Reg 2020/852); and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Covers double materiality assessment (impact + financial materiality per ESRS 1), single financial materiality (ISSB/TCFD), Scope 1, Scope 2 (market-based and location-based), and Scope 3 (all 15 categories) emissions reporting, supply chain due diligence, nature and biodiversity disclosure (ESRS E4/TNFD), greenwashing risk under EU Directive 2024/825 and the EU, UK, and US enforcement landscape, limited assurance under ISSA 5000, and net-zero and carbon-neutrality claim verification. Use when building a CSRD sustainability statement, assessing disclosure gaps against ESRS standards, preparing for limited assurance, reviewing a net-zero or carbon-neutral claim, scoping Scope 3 value chain emissions, responding to investor ESG due diligence, or navigating multi-regime obligations across EU/UK/US. Triggers on: "CSRD compliance," "ESRS reporting," "double materiality assessment," "Scope 3 emissions," "GHG inventory," "CSDDD due diligence," "net-zero claim," "carbon neutral verification," "ISSB S1 S2," "TCFD report," "SBTi target," "greenwashing risk," "ESG disclosure," "sustainability reporting," "climate risk disclosure," "SEC climate rules," "California SB 253 SB 261," "supply chain emissions," "biodiversity disclosure," "TNFD," "EU Taxonomy alignment," "assurance readiness," "limited assurance ISSA 5000."

This skill assesses ESG and sustainability reporting obligations, identifies compliance gaps, guides double and single materiality assessments, supports GHG emissions scoping, evaluates greenwashing risk, and produces actionable remediation roadmaps for organizations subject to mandatory or voluntary sustainability disclosure. **Covers:** - Framework applicability screening (CSRD, CSDDD, UK SDR/SRS, SEC, California SB 253/261, ISSB) - Double materiality assessment (impact materiality + financial materiality) per ESRS 1 - Single/financial materiality assessment (ISSB S1/S2, TCFD) - GHG emissions inventory review (Scope 1, Scope 2, Scope 3 — all 15 categories) - ESRS topical standard analysis (E1–E5, S1–S4, G1) - EU Taxonomy alignment, eligibility, and KPI disclosure - Supply chain due diligence analysis (CSDDD, LkSG, France Loi de Vigilance, UK MSA) - Greenwashing risk assessment (EU Directive 2024/825, UK CMA/FCA, US FTC) - Assurance readiness (limited assurance per ISSA 5000, CSRD Article 26a requirements) - Net-zero and carbon-neutrality claim verification - Gap classification, severity scoring, and remediation roadmap **Does not:** - Draft a full sustainability report (the output is a gap assessment and action plan, not a finished report) - Provide financial accounting advice or replace a statutory auditor - Provide legal advice or replace qualified ESG/sustainability counsel - Apply to one jurisdiction exclusively — ...
