Western and Northern Europe take the lead in CSRD awareness, with Central and Eastern Europe lagging behind

‍

Key findings from the study:

• The study reveals that the largest Western and Southern European economies have the highest number of companies under the CSRD regulation. The CSRD awareness is proportional to the number of affected firms in Western Europe, but it is extremely low in CEE, highlighting that the region is lagging in CSRD readiness.

• The solution density, representing the range of CSRD reporting offerings available for regulated companies, shows a wide selection in Western and Northern Europe, but a surprisingly small selection in major Southern European countries.
• The study introduces the estimated proportion of CSRD-engaged companies showing the highest interest from users arriving from the Benelux followed by visitors from the Nordics.
• Denxpert’s forecast suggests a dynamic rise in demand for CSRD reporting solutions in most regions. The fastest growth is predicted to come from the less mature economies of Central and Eastern Europe.

Denxpert’s research concludes that EU companies increasingly recognize the importance - and the approaching deadlines - of the CSRD directive and want to start preparations quickly.
