Updated: CSRD and 2026 changes

CSRD and ESG
without the confusion.

Find out what actually applies to your company in Poland — without digging through hundreds of pages of legislation and conflicting commentary.

Start with the right question

Not every company reports. Many more companies must provide data.

The impact of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive extends beyond entities subject to the statutory reporting obligation.

Direct obligation

Verify whether the company or group is within the current scope and which financial year applies.

Value chain

A client may request data about emissions, employees, energy, policies or materials.

Business requirement

A bank, investor or contracting authority may request ESG information independently of CSRD.

Current law matters

What changed in 2026?

The Omnibus simplification package changed the scope and schedule of some requirements. Reassess the company before designing a report.

Poland

The Act of 27 February 2026 amended the Accounting Act and introduced further EU sustainability-reporting changes.

European Union

Omnibus reduced and simplified part of the framework. The result must be assessed against the current legislation and the company’s group structure.

ESRS

On 3 July 2026 the Commission adopted acts simplifying ESRS and establishing voluntary standards. An adopted act is not in force until its required publication.

CSRD in PolandWho is affected?
CSRD does not require every company to publish a report. Check company size, legal form, group structure and reporting year first. A company outside the direct scope may still receive ESG questions.
ESRSWhat must be disclosed?
ESRS creates a common structure for sustainability information. Material topics are identified before detailed tables are completed.
SMEs and value chainsWhy is a client asking?
Smaller firms often encounter ESG through customers. Prepare one consistent dataset for recurring questionnaires.
Double materialityWhat really matters?
Assess both how sustainability issues affect the company financially and how the company affects people and the environment.
Carbon footprintWhere should you start?
Begin with data already available: energy and fuel invoices, vehicles, transport, materials and key suppliers.
Omnibus 2026Is the old plan still valid?
Scope and timing changed, but commercial ESG requests did not disappear. Recheck legal status and client expectations.
