How to Develop a CO₂ Report according to CSRD

The CSRD's expansion of the NFRD will gradually subject around 50,000 European companies to reporting requirements beginning in 2024. 

Baseline CO₂ reporting is the foundation of credible sustainability strategy. Without an accurate and transparent carbon footprint, organisations cannot set realistic reduction targets, comply with regulation, or demonstrate progress to stakeholders.

At Dreher Consulting, we help German and DACH-region organisations establish a robust CO₂ baseline that aligns with recognised standards and supports future reporting, governance and strategic decision-making.

Here is who will be affected and when...

When Will CSRD Affect Your Business?

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is expanding step by step, covering over 50,000 companies across Europe by 2028. Whether you’re a large listed firm or an SME, knowing your timeline is critical to plan compliance and avoid disruption. Thousands of companies across Europe will fall under CSRD in the next 3 years. Knowing your timeline now helps you prepare.

1.  Emissions Assessment

Identify all relevant emission sources across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 through a structured materiality analysis.

2. Data Collection

Gather verified data from internal systems and supply chain partners with expert guidance throughout the process.

3. Customised Data Integration

Connect your existing systems and tailor data collection to your organisation’s digital maturity, from manual inputs to automated API feeds.

4. AI-Powered Emissions Calculation

Use advanced algorithms and validated datasets to calculate Scope 3 emissions precisely and accelerate reporting timelines.

5. Regulatory-Compliant Reporting

Generate reports aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and leading frameworks such as GRI, CDP, TCFD, SASB and SECR, ensuring transparency and readiness for CSRD.


Receive expert support and harness AI technology to calculate scope 3 emissions, which often constitute over 80% of your emissions profile.

These emissions are notoriously challenging due to their origin outside your business's direct control, such as those generated from activities such as supply chain operations, product use, and waste disposal.
