The CSRD mandates over 50,000 companies to disclose physical climate risks under ESRS E1. To simplify compliance, Jupiter launched the ClimateScore Global CSRD Module, offering hazard analytics, financial impact assessments, and CSRD-ready reports — ensuring fast, precise reporting.

The landscape of corporate sustainability reporting is evolving at an unprecedented pace. At the forefront of this transformation is the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), a sweeping European Union (EU) regulation designed to bring greater transparency and accountability to corporate sustainability efforts. With over 50,000 companies expected to comply by 2026, the CSRD is set to reshape how businesses report on sustainability and climate-related risks.

For organizations, this new regulatory framework represents both a challenge and an opportunity. On one hand, it requires granular, forward-looking climate risk assessments that integrate both financial and impact materiality. On the other, it offers businesses a pathway to enhance their resilience, investor confidence, and long-term strategic planning.

A crucial aspect of CSRD compliance is the disclosure of physical climate risks, which fall under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS E1 pillar). This requirement means organizations must evaluate how hazards like floods, wildfires, extreme heat, and coastal erosion could impact their operations and financial performance. However, navigating these requirements can be daunting — especially for companies without in-house climate science expertise.

Understanding the CSRD and ESRS E1 Physical Climate Risk Requirements

The CSRD builds upon previous sustainability reporting frameworks, such as the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), by significantly expanding the scope and depth of required disclosures. The directive mandates that companies assess and disclose:

Double materiality: Businesses must report on both how climate risks impact their operations (financial materiality) and how their activities affect the climate and society (impact materiality).

Physical climate risks: Organizations must evaluate their exposure to climate hazards, including both acute risks (e.g., hurricanes, floods, wildfires) and chronic risks (e.g., rising temperatures, sea level rise).

Financial impact assessments: Companies must quantify the monetary effects of these risks on their assets, supply chains, and financial outlook.

Forward-looking analysis: CSRD requires organizations to provide climate risk projections over short-, medium-, and long-term horizons, aligning with global climate scenarios.

Who Needs to Comply?

The CSRD applies to:

✔ Large EU-based companies (meeting two of three criteria: €25M+ turnover, €50M+ balance sheet, 250+ employees)

✔ Non-EU companies with significant revenue (€150M+) in the EU

✔ SMEs listed on EU-regulated markets (with phased compliance deadlines)

With these sweeping requirements, businesses across industries — from banking and real estate to manufacturing and energy — must find efficient ways to conduct comprehensive climate risk assessments and integrate them into their sustainability reports.

Addressing CSRD Compliance with the ClimateScore Global CSRD Module

Recognizing the complexity of CSRD compliance, Jupiter has developed the ClimateScore Global CSRD Module — a new compliance workflow custom designed to streamline the ESRS E1 physical climate risk disclosure process.

This module, housed within the newly launched Compliance Hub of ClimateScore Global, delivers a comprehensive and intuitive compliance workflow for companies navigating CSRD's stringent requirements.

Key Features of the Module

The ClimateScore Global CSRD Module is purpose-built to help organizations:

Visualize and analyze CSRD-required hazards — The module provides metrics covering all key climate hazards, including metrics for lesser occurring hazards such as:

• Landslides

• Coastal erosion

• Subsidence
