CSRD & ESG: when compliance data becomes reporting
The CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requires companies to disclose sustainability data along the ESRS standards. Many of these data points arise in PPWR compliance anyway — combining the two saves duplicated effort.
Where the PPWR and CSRD meet
The ESRS E5 standard (circular economy, resource use) requires information on material input, packaging data and recycling rates. Those are exactly the values you already document for the PPWR. The PPWR therefore produces the operational data — the CSRD uses it for reporting.
- Material input by type and quantity
- Recycled content (post-consumer and post-industrial)
- Recyclability classifications and reuse rates
- Packaging weights and volume reductions
- Emissions along the packaging supply chain (Scope 3)
One source, no duplicated effort
When compliance, product and sustainability teams draw on the same audit-proof data pool, a PPWR update flows straight into the ESG report — with no manual transfer.
