ESRS implementation guidance documents
Background
In March 2023, Commissioner McGuinness asked EFRAG to prioritise implementation support for those preparing their first sustainability statement according to the ESRS. Accordingly EFRAG deprioritised its ongoing work on the sector-specific standards to support implementation of the sector agnostic ESRS adopted as delegated act on 31 July 2023 ('ESRS').
EFRAG is currently working on an IG on transition plans.
Final IG 1 to 3 (May 2024)
EFRAG issued the final documents on 31 May 2024:
EFRAG IG 1 Materiality Assessment
EFRAG IG3: Detailed ESRS Datapoints:
IG 3 List of Datapoints as an Excel Workbook
IG 3 Explanatory Note
IG 3 Addendum: Technical adjustments (December 2024)
These documents are non-authoritative and support implementation.
EFRAG also issued the following feedback statements on the feedback received:
