What is CSRD?
CSRD is a European directive that requires organizations to prepare ESG reports (Environmental, Social & Governance). It covers:
- Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
- Sustainability goals and policies
- Reporting on suppliers and the entire value chain
In short, CSRD forces organizations to make sustainability measurable and demonstrable.
Which organizations fall under CSRD?
CSRD applies to large enterprises and listed SMEs. Organizations fall under the directive if they exceed at least two of the following three criteria:
- 250 employees
- €50 million in revenue
- €25 million in total assets
Smaller listed companies will also be gradually required to report.
Why IT and hardware are crucial for CSRD
IT and hardware are key components of Scope 3 emissions, including:
- Mobile devices (POS systems, scanners, tablets)
- Data centers and servers
- Hardware lifecycle: usage, repair, replacement
Without structured management and data on hardware, reliable CSRD reporting is nearly impossible.
Important: preventing downtime while demonstrating sustainability. This is where our mobile managed services add value.
