What is ESG?

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) is a concept for evaluating companies’ activities in three key areas: environmental protection (E), social responsibility (S), and corporate governance (G). In practice, this means analyzing a company’s impact on the environment, such as CO2 emissions, waste management, and energy consumption, as well as taking into account its social activities, such as working conditions, respect for human rights, and cooperation with local communities.

Environmental
(environmental protection)

  • Greenhouse gas emissions and the company’s carbon footprint.
  • Energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources.
  • Water management and consumption of natural resources.
  • Waste management and recycling.
  • Protection of biodiversity and minimization of negative impact on ecosystems.

Social
(social issues)

  • Working conditions, health, and safety of employees.
  • Respect for human rights and anti-discrimination.
  • Diversity and inclusivity in the workplace.
  • Activities for local communities and social development.
  • Responsibility in the supply chain, including ethical sourcing of raw materials.

Governance
(corporate governance)

  • Transparency of decision-making processes and management structure.
  • Business ethics and anti-corruption measures.
  • Management board accountability to stakeholders and society.
  • Management remuneration policy and its link to ESG performance.
  • Internal audit and compliance with legal regulations and industry standards.

FAQ

  • What is ESG and why is it so important?

    • ESG stands for Environmental, Social, Governance and refers to the assessment of a company’s activities in three areas: environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. ESG reporting is important because it affects a company’s reputation, facilitates access to financing, enables risk management, and builds competitive advantage in the market. More and more investors and business partners consider ESG to be a key factor in deciding whether to work with a company.

  • Who will be required to report ESG data in Poland from 2025?

    • From 2025, ESG reporting requirements will apply to large companies that meet at least two of the following three criteria: they employ more than 250 people, have revenues exceeding EUR 40 million, or have a balance sheet total exceeding EUR 20 million. This obligation will gradually be extended to medium-sized and small listed companies (from 2026) and selected non-EU entities (from 2028).

  • What information should be included in an ESG report?

    • The ESG report should cover three main areas:

      – Environmental (E): greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, waste management, protection of natural resources.
      – Social (S): working conditions, human rights, diversity and inclusion, community outreach.
      – Governance (G): management transparency, anti-corruption, management structure, and accountability to stakeholders.

  • What are the consequences of non-compliance with ESG reporting requirements?

    • Companies that fail to meet the reporting requirements under the CSRD Directive may be subject to financial penalties of up to several million zlotys. In addition, they may face administrative sanctions, such as restricted access to public procurement. Company management may be held personally liable for non-compliance, which increases the importance of adequate preparation.

  • How to prepare your company for ESG reporting?

    • To effectively prepare for ESG reporting, a company should:

      – Conduct an audit of current practices and identify gaps in activities.
      – Develop or update its ESG strategy.
      – Implement ESG management systems and IT tools to support data monitoring.
      – Conduct training for employees and involve key departments in the process.
      – Regularly monitor progress and prepare the first report in accordance with ESRS standards.

  • How does the CSRD differ from the NFRD?

    • The CSRD replaces the existing NFRD (Non-Financial Reporting Directive) and introduces more detailed and uniform requirements for ESG reporting. The CSRD expands the scope of entities subject to reporting requirements and introduces the requirement to apply the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which ensures greater transparency and comparability of data.

    • The implementation of ESG reporting and strategies brings many benefits to companies, including:

      – Better access to capital thanks to the preferences of investors and financial institutions.

      – Improved management of risks related to regulations, climate change, and social expectations.
      – Cost savings through more efficient use of resources and process optimization.
      – Attracting talent and increasing employee engagement.

  • What are the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)?

    • ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) is a set of standards that must be applied by companies reporting ESG in accordance with the CSRD directive. They specify what data should be disclosed in specific ESG areas, ensuring uniformity and comparability of reports between companies from different sectors and EU countries.

  • Do small and medium-sized enterprises have to report ESG?

    • From 2026, ESG reporting requirements will also apply to small and medium-sized enterprises listed on the stock exchange. These companies will be able to take advantage of simplified reporting requirements and, if necessary, defer this obligation until 2028. SMEs that are not listed on the stock exchange are not currently subject to direct obligations, but regulations may be extended in the future.
