The Challenge: Assessing CSRD Requirements and Building a Process from Scratch

The Eaton team knew that they’d need a process for Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) reporting. They also knew that whatever process they chose needed to fit their organizational structure and unique needs, including allowing for multiple owners of the same KPIs across the organization, streamlined internal and external audits and the ability to gather a library of approved responses and documentation to make reporting seamless, year after year.

The Solution: A Repeatable, Cross-Functional CSRD Reporting Process

The team used an internal gap analysis to identify which disclosures were mandatory, their current disclosure status, the level of effort required and the data sources and systems that would be necessary to complete the various disclosures.

After they had established their reporting requirements and internal needs, they chose to work with the Benchmark Gensuite team to adjust and re-deploy their instances of Disclosure Director to fit their newly clear internal roles and applicability screening.

The Benchmark Gensuite team helped Eaton to engage the entire team with:

Multiple webinars to educate internal audiences

Steering committee, working group and stakeholder updates

Previewing draft assignments with Program Area Managers prior to full deployment

The Result: CSRD Success, Now and in the Future

Benchmark Gensuite’s Disclosure Director offered the team a flexible yet easy-to-implement solution that empowered the team to:

Assess their CSRD requirements, including which questions to answer and the data to include

Build a centralized repository of responses that can quickly and easily be applied to the CSRD format
