Platform
CSRD is the first curated knowledge space, not the only one.
The construction — curated sources, versions held apart, a citation for every statement, isolated spaces per engagement — is not specific to the CSRD. It was simply built there first, because that is where the need was greatest.
What is available today is the CSRD and ESRS sustainability reporting knowledge base. Further knowledge spaces covering adjacent regulations and assessment schemes are in preparation. The order follows the need that people testing the product name in live projects — not a product plan drawn up at a desk.
In preparation
Adjacent regulations and assessment schemes.
Product and supply chain regulation
- PPWR — packaging and packaging waste
- EUDR — deforestation-free supply chains
- ESPR — ecodesign for sustainable products
- EU Construction Products Regulation
Named as a need in advisory practice: companies relieved of CSRD obligations meet the same requirements again through the product route.
Assessment, climate and due diligence
- EcoVadis — scoring logic and evidence
- Climate risk — physical and transition risk
- EMAS and the EU Emissions Trading System
- ESG due diligence and red-flag screening
These topics arise in the same engagements as the CSRD but are handled today with other tools and without an evidenced source base.
Principle
Why separate spaces rather than one system for everything.
The temptation to throw every legal area into one collection is strong. Doing so loses precisely the property that makes the difference.
Origin stays determinable
An answer has to be able to say which legal act and which version it came from. In a collection that contains everything, that attribution is lost.
Maintenance stays feasible
Superseded legal versions get removed, not supplemented. That is manual work and only feasible within bounded holdings.
Behaviour stays professional
Every legal area has its own rules for what to do when data is missing. One shared behaviour for all of them would be wrong for each.
Frequently asked
Are these knowledge spaces available yet?
No. What is available today is the CSRD and ESRS sustainability reporting knowledge base. The areas named here are in preparation; the order follows demand from the ongoing tests.
Why not one system for everything?
Because the curation is the service. A collection containing everything can no longer guarantee which legal area and which version an answer came from. Separate knowledge spaces preserve exactly that property.
Can I suggest a particular area?
Yes. Every area named so far came out of conversations with people testing the product. If you have a need, that is the most direct way to move it up the order.
