CSRD: ESG Data Collection
I. Definition
CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) is a European regulation that requires companies to report detailed sustainability information.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data collection refers to the use of technology to gather, structure, and analyze sustainability data.
Using AI helps companies manage ESG data more efficiently for CSRD reporting.
II. Context
The CSRD requires large amounts of accurate and traceable ESG data.
This data often comes from many sources inside and outside the company.
AI can support ESG data collection by:
- automating data gathering,
- ensuring data consistency,
- reducing manual errors,
- improving reporting speed.
With AI, companies can better align ESG data with:
- regulatory reporting under CSRD,
- sustainability frameworks like GRI,
- global disclosure standards such as ISSB,
- investor-related disclosures under SFDR.
Using AI for ESG data collection helps companies build reliable and structured sustainability reporting processes.

IV. Example
A company must prepare its sustainability report under CSRD.
It uses AI to collect ESG data from internal systems and suppliers.
The company then:
- structures data according to GRI,
- aligns disclosures with ISSB,
- supports transparency for SFDR reporting.
This makes CSRD compliance easier, faster, and more reliable.
