FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions organizations ask before starting their ESG and sustainability journey.
What is CSRD and does it apply to manufacturers?
Yes. CSRD impacts both large enterprises and SMEs that supply them. If your company sits anywhere in the EU supply chain, you’ll need to prove ESG compliance — not just report it.
When is the CSRD compliance deadline?
The first reports are due in 2025 for FY 2024, expanding to smaller companies by 2027. Early preparation avoids costly retroactive data collection.
What happens if a company doesn’t comply with CSRD?
Non-compliance leads to financial penalties, loss of contracts, and reputational damage. One missing supplier document can cost millions.
What is the difference between ESG and sustainability reporting?
ESG reporting focuses on measurable performance in Environmental, Social, and Governance areas. Sustainability reporting is broader, often including long-term goals and narratives. Under CSRD, ESG disclosures are mandatory and standardized.
How is ESG reporting different from sustainability reporting?
ESG ties sustainability metrics to financial and operational performance, not just impact. It’s about measurable risk, not marketing.
Why does double materiality matter?
It ensures your reporting covers both how your business impacts the environment and how ESG risks impact your revenue — essential for investors and regulators.
How does Arelya help with CSRD compliance?
Arelya’s RISC Framework identifies Tier-2 and Tier-3 supplier risks, quantifies them in financial terms, and builds an audit-ready data trail aligned with CSRD.
Is ESG reporting only for large companies?
No. SMEs are now expected to provide traceable ESG data to their larger clients. Early adopters win contracts by proving reliability and compliance.
How much does CSRD compliance cost?
Costs vary by company size and data maturity. Arelya’s programs start with a 15-minute risk audit to estimate exposure and define a measurable roadmap.
What makes Arelya different from other ESG consultancies?
We don’t just create reports — we create proof. Arelya combines deep ESG & CSRD expertise with the Rylio™ reporting platform to transform raw supplier data into measurable, audit-ready intelligence. The result : ESG compliance that’s traceable, automated, and financially meaningful.
