Ivy Technology Embarks on CSRD Journey with Workshops in Szombathely and Bydgoszcz
Ivy Technology is taking significant strides in its commitment to sustainability by initiating its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) journey. The company held workshops in Szombathely, Hungary in April, and Bydgoszcz, Poland in June, with follow-up sessions to recently held to conduct a preliminary materiality assessment in the relevant datapoints required for disclosure. This move marks the beginning of Ivy Technology’s efforts to align with the new CSRD requirements, which mandate that companies disclose comprehensive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters starting in 2026, based on 2025 data.
The CSRD is a critical component of the European Union's broader strategy to promote sustainable and responsible business practices. It aims to enhance and standardize the reporting of ESG data, ensuring transparency and accountability. For companies like Ivy Technology, this means that ESG disclosures are no longer optional but a legal requirement. This transition will involve significant changes in how companies collect, manage, and report their ESG data.
One of the major challenges Ivy Technology faces in this transition is the complexity and scope of the data required. Collecting accurate and comprehensive ESG data involves coordinating across multiple departments and regions, each with its unique operational contexts. This complexity is compounded by the need for consistency and comparability in reporting, as mandated by the CSRD.
To address these challenges, Ivy Technology is exploring the integration of an ESG platform. This platform is expected to play a crucial role in consolidating data around social and environmental factors. By providing a centralized system for data collection and analysis, the platform will help Ivy Technology streamline its reporting processes, ensuring that the data is accurate, consistent, and comprehensive. This technological solution will not only facilitate compliance with the CSRD but also enhance the company's overall sustainability strategy.
The workshops in Szombathely and Bydgoszcz are just the beginning. These sessions focused on educating the teams about the CSRD requirements, discussing the challenges ahead, and beginning the preliminary materiality assessment. This assessment is a vital step in identifying the most significant ESG issues for Ivy Technology and its stakeholders, guiding the company's sustainability efforts moving forward.
Looking ahead, Ivy Technology's Sustainability team plans to expand these workshops to other sites globally in the coming months. This global rollout will ensure that all Ivy Technology locations are well-prepared for upcoming CSRD like requirements, fostering a company-wide culture of sustainability and responsibility.
By proactively addressing the challenges of the CSRD and investing in the necessary tools and training, Ivy Technology is positioning itself as a leader in corporate sustainability. The company's commitment to transparency and accountability will not only ensure compliance with regulatory requirements but also build trust with stakeholders and contribute to a more sustainable future.
