Our own checklist, written for buyers.
- Confirm you are still in scope. Compare your employees and turnover with the new thresholds before paying for a full CSRD suite.
- Ask how the tool handles revised ESRS. Look for versioned data points, not a fixed template.
- Check framework mapping. If you also report to ISSB, GRI or CDP, one data set should feed all of them.
- Ask about the voluntary standard for smaller companies. If your customers will request data from you, you may need a lighter output.
- Read the reviews and ask for audit support. Limited assurance is coming for many reporters, so check that you can export an audit trail.
