Non-Financial Reporting Directive is a European Union legislation adopted in 2014, requires large companies with more than 500 employees to disclose non-financial information. Its aim is to improve transparency and accountability in corporate reporting by focusing on areas such as environmental impact, social responsibility and governance.
Key Aspects of the NFRD:
The directive applies to large companies with public interest and with more than 500 employees including listed companies, banks and insurance firms. Companies are required to report on various aspects, including;
- Environmental matters (energy consumption, pollution, carbon footprint)
- Social and employee-related matter
- Respect for human rights
- Anti-corruption and bribery issue
- Board diversity and governance
The purpose of this directive is to provide stakeholders with a clearer picture of a company’s long-term sustainability and social impact beyond financial profits.
Typical structure of NFRD report:

- Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB): Offers industry-specific standards for disclosing financially material sustainability information.
- Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD): Focuses on disclosing climate-related financial risks.
