Program Overview: What is CSRD and ESRS Sustainability Reporting?
CSRD & ESRS Sustainability Reporting is a 28-hour instructor-led program for finance, sustainability, and reporting teams that must produce audit-ready sustainability disclosures. Across seven modules, participants work through CSRD foundations and scope, ESRS standards architecture, double materiality assessment, data collection with value chain mapping, disclosure drafting with digital tagging, and assurance readiness with internal controls. It closes with an end-to-end reporting build on a realistic company case.
Training pairs every concept with a guided lab: three practice sessions alternate with instructor walkthroughs, so participants run a double materiality assessment, map data collection across a value chain, draft ESRS-aligned disclosures, apply digital tagging, and test assurance readiness. Each lab works on realistic company data, with the instructor reviewing drafts, challenging materiality judgments, and coaching the control discipline auditors expect. Peer review sharpens every disclosure before it is finalized. The program culminates in a five-hour capstone where teams deliver a complete end-to-end sustainability reporting build.
Reporting teams that assemble CSRD disclosures for the first time usually find the gaps late: materiality unassessed, value chain data missing, disclosures drafted without evidence, and assurance findings that force restatement. The standards are detailed and the deadlines are fixed. This program builds the reporting capability in the right order: scope understood, materiality assessed, data collected with controls, disclosures drafted to the standards, and assurance readiness verified before the auditor arrives.
The capstone reporting build is the program's working product: each team produces a complete sustainability reporting package for a realistic company, covering scope, double materiality assessment, data collection mapping, drafted ESRS disclosures with digital tagging, and an assurance readiness review. The instructor examines the package the way an assurance provider would, so weak evidence gets caught in the lab. Teams return with disclosure templates, materiality frameworks, tagging checklists, and a reporting routine ready for the next cycle.
Seven modules and 28 hours: CSRD scope, ESRS architecture, double materiality, data collection, disclosure drafting, assurance readiness, and a capstone reporting build. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced before the team moves on.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab guides included for every participant.

Connect Sustainability Disclosures With Materiality Decisions and Traceable Reporting Evidence
Edstellar develops CSRD and ESRS reporting capability through scope mapping, double materiality, and datapoint management. Participants draft disclosures and connect them to sources, controls, and tagging requirements. The final reporting pack is reviewed for consistency and traceability, showing how judgments and underlying records support the proposed sustainability statement.

Consult
We explore reporting responsibilities and data maturity to identify gaps in ESRS navigation, materiality judgments, datapoint ownership, and disclosure evidence.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish CSRD scope and ESRS architecture before double materiality and data inventories, then disclosure drafting, tagging, and assurance evidence in the reporting build.
- Step 03
Align
We connect ESRS reporting expertise with finance and sustainability ownership, ensuring audit participants can challenge materiality records and data-control evidence together.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample-company topics, value-chain data, and disclosure drafts to representative reporting contexts while recording scope assumptions and limitations in source information.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants score material topics, assign datapoint owners, and draft tagged disclosures, receiving feedback on decision records, quality controls, and source-to-statement consistency.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the reporting pack for documented materiality, complete data lineage, coherent disclosures, and evidence that links reported information to responsible owners and controls.
