Simplification of the sustainability declaration: Fewer reporting obligations, clearer requirements
The Omnibus Package 2025 significantly reduces the requirements for the sustainability declaration. The European Commission plans to reduce the number of mandatory ESG data points by up to 50% and remove unnecessary reporting requirements.
In concrete terms, this means:
- Less affected companies: In future, the reporting obligation under the CSRD will only apply to companies with more than 1,000 employees (previously 250 employees). As a result, the obligation will no longer apply to around 80% of the companies previously required to report.
- Streamlining reporting standards: The number of mandatory ESG metrics will be reduced from currently over 1,100 to around 500 data points.
- Simplification for SMEs: Companies with fewer than 1,000 employees no longer need to prepare detailed sustainability reports. Instead, a new voluntary standard (VSME) will be introduced, which will make reporting much easier.
- Postponement of reporting obligations: For smaller listed companies (waves 2 and 3), the start of reporting will be postponed by two years to 2028.
With these measures, the Omnibus package ensures practical and efficient sustainability reporting that creates regulatory certainty, reduces bureaucracy and still ensures a high level of transparency.

EU Omnibus Simplification Package
With the Omnibus Package 2025, the EU is reducing bureaucracy for companies and simplifying the requirements of the CSRD and CSDDD. The revised reporting lowers administrative hurdles without watering down the Sustainable Development Goals.
Targeted adjustments, such as restricting the reporting obligation to large companies and revising the ESRS, will make implementation more practical and efficient. These facilitations enable a focused sustainability strategy that creates regulatory certainty and promotes innovation.
ESG Risks & Assessment Methods
ESG risks include environmental, social, and governance factors that can impact a company’s financial performance and reputation. To effectively manage these risks, companies rely on structured assessment methods such as risk mapping, scenario analyses and stakeholder surveys.
Benchmarking compares ESG performance to industry standards, while regulatory analysis helps ensure compliance with current and future regulations. This systematic approach strengthens the company’s resilience and enables strategic management of sustainability risks.
Risk management and financial performance of the company
Effective ESG risk management is crucial for the long-term success of a company. Investors and regulators increasingly expect companies to integrate ESG criteria into their business strategy.
The early identification and management of sustainability risks helps to avoid financial losses and strengthen stakeholder trust. Companies that proactively manage ESG risks benefit not only from regulatory certainty, but also from improved resilience and sustainable value creation.
