The CSRD mandates sustainability reporting — often multilingual
The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) significantly expands sustainability disclosure obligations. A growing number of companies and groups must produce a detailed report — and make it available to subsidiaries, investors and authorities in several languages.
These documents blend regulatory jargon, financial data and environmental concepts. A loose translation invites inconsistencies between language versions and a compliance risk. This is exactly the kind of content where generic machine translation falls short.
What is the CSRD?
The CSRD is the directive governing sustainability disclosure by companies in the European Union. It is built on the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) and introduces the principle of double materiality: the company's impact on the environment and society, and the impact of sustainability issues on the company.
The scope and timetable are being phased in and continue to evolve. We adapt our support to your situation, whether you are publishing your first report or refining an existing process.
Why specialized translation?
A sustainability report is not marketing copy. You must faithfully convey standardized concepts (ESRS indicators, emission scopes, taxonomy), respect financial and legal terminology, and ensure consistency from one version to the next. A single imprecise translation of an indicator can distort how non-financial performance is read.
Documents we translate
- Sustainability reports and non-financial performance statements
- Double materiality assessments and transition plans
- Carbon footprints and GHG emission inventories (scopes 1, 2, 3)
- EU green taxonomy disclosures
- CSR policies, codes of conduct and ethics charters
- Sustainability sections of integrated annual reports
The limits of generic machine translation
- • Confusion between standardized ESRS terms and everyday synonyms
- • Errors on units, emission scopes and numerical data
- • Terminology inconsistencies across chapters and languages
- • Loss of the precise legal meaning of commitments and obligations
