EFRAG Aiming to cut CSRD Datapoints by at least 50%

Following the Omnibus review earlier this year, EFRAG has taken encouraging steps toward streamlining the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). In a recent announcement, they confirmed an ambitious goal—to reduce the number of data points by up to 50% while still preserving the integrity of the core sustainability objectives.

This shift presents an opportunity. By simplifying the reporting process, we may actually re-energize companies and stakeholders who’ve felt overwhelmed, helping to refocus efforts on meaningful, actionable sustainability outcomes.

The ultimate goal remains the same: driving real progress on climate change, human rights, and governance. A more focused approach could help organizations concentrate on what truly matters—and accelerate impact where it counts most.
