Sustainability Reporting and CSRD

Contact us

As sustainability issues gain importance, companies are facing increased demands to transparently and systematically report on their social sustainability efforts. The new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires companies to disclose their impact on both people and society. Mitt Liv provides expert support in sustainability reporting, with a focus on inclusion and diversity, to help you meet these requirements and strengthen your accountability.

Why is sustainability reporting important?

Sustainability reporting is not just a requirement; it is also an opportunity to showcase your company’s commitment to a fair and sustainable world. Transparent reporting enhances your brand, builds trust among stakeholders, and attracts employees who value social responsibility. Reporting on your organisation’s social sustainability initiatives, both internally and externally, is key to increasing transparency and trust.

CSRD raises the bar for corporate sustainability reporting, including social aspects such as diversity, equality, and inclusion. To meet these requirements, companies must clearly demonstrate how they address these issues and their long-term impact both internally and externally.

Our services for social sustainability reporting:

Goals, data collection, and analysis

We support you in identifying relevant key performance indicators and setting measurable goals to track progress and focus efforts where they make the most impact. Using Mitt Liv’s Inclusion Survey©, you gain reliable data and tools for analysis, implementation, and follow-up, with guidance on everything from internal communication to goal setting. We also offer advice on diversity measurement.

Targeted initiatives to achieve your goals

We help you identify which processes need to become more inclusive and which skill-building initiatives are necessary to reach your sustainability targets. This ensures that your social sustainability efforts are both effective and aligned with your business priorities.

Alignment with ESRS standards

We ensure your initiatives are clearly aligned with the ESRS standards, focusing on reporting related to employees, value chain labour, societal impact, consumers, and end-users. This approach ensures your work not only meets legal requirements but also strengthens your corporate responsibility and brand.

About CSRD

With the new EU law, Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), coming into effect in 2024, sustainability reporting will undergo significant changes and expand substantially. More than 50,000 companies across the EU will fall under the scope of CSRD by 2026. 

A key aspect of the directive is that companies and organisations will need to align with the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). These standards are designed to ensure that companies report on their impact on people, the environment, and climate in a comparable, reliable, and high-quality manner.

This expanded scope of reporting will increase transparency and comparability between companies, as the requirements for disclosing information on sustainability aspects will be more extensive than ever before.

FAQ

What do you mean when you talk about “diversity”?

Diversity is a term that refers to the amount of significant differences and non-normative perspectives that exist in a group or organisation. One possible approach is to base an assessment of diversity on the seven grounds of discrimination (gender, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age) as well as other factors such as experience, educational background and language skills, although diversity is really much more than this – in principle, diversity relates to everything that constitutes a significant difference and makes a person unique in relation to his or her surroundings.

What do you mean when you talk about “inclusion”?

Inclusion is a term that refers to the active actions that individuals encounter at their workplace every day – behaviours, personal treatment, group norms, leadership styles and structures – which determine the extent to which individuals can be themselves while also feeling that they belong to the team or group. At an inclusive workplace, individuals are treated as part of the fellowship of the group while also being valued for their uniqueness.

What is the difference between diversity and inclusion?

We usually say that diversity has to do with the strategic work undertaken by an organisation to ensure that there is a mix of significant differences – and thus different perspectives – represented in the organisation. Inclusion relates to the behaviour we practice each day at our workplace, and how we interact with each other. Research shows that the existence of both diversity and inclusion in an organisation can contribute to a greater level of innovation, creativity and well-being, which in turn contributes to higher profitability and greater business value.

Does Mitt Liv work with different types of diversity, for example gender equality?

We work with aspects of all 7 grounds of discrimination, and gender equality is one of these aspects. We have a broad and holistic view of the term diversity, which means that we work with diversity from a broad perspective (please take a look at how we define diversity in the question above). Naturally we provide support to your organisation based on the aspects we identify together as areas where there is a need for more focus.

Do we have to be a Mitt Liv partner to be able to use your services?

No, you don’t. However, we recommend a partnership as the optimal form of collaboration when the services stretch over an extended period (12 months or more), as a partnership provides a structure that enables us to ensure a proactive and long-term work process. But if a partnership doesn’t feel like the right form of collaboration for your activity then of course you are welcome to use our services without actually becoming a Mitt Liv partner.

Are your methods scientifically based?

Yes, to the extent that research exists within a certain area or subject, we use and refer to such research in our activities, and we constantly keep up to date on the latest developments. Our courses refer to credible studies and meta-analyses in many respects. Mitt Liv also has an active and close collaboration with researchers throughout Sweden, and this has aided us in many respects, including during the development of our impact measurement tools and the content of our mentoring program, as well as in various consulting projects.

Do you offer courses and lectures digitally?

Yes, of course! Mitt Liv has worked on providing a number of our services digitally since 2007. This experience and knowledge means that our current digital solutions are flexible, user-friendly and interactive. Please feel free to contact us – our staff will be delighted to tell you more!

In which languages can you provide your services?

Our consulting services and our mentoring program are available in Swedish and English. We can also offer translations to other languages for a number of our tools, such as our self-directed courses and our D&I game.

Can we purchase individual lectures?

Yes, you can. Please feel free to contact us – our staff will be delighted to tell you more!
