The CSRD Evidence Register by Dazzle, what the first cycle actually costs

The CSRD Evidence Register

What the first reporting cycle actually costs, from 2 teams who finished one

All 14 documents • Built from a live panel with Dazzle clients PostNL and Samskip • Free download


 

Most CSRD guidance tells you what the standard requires. It does not tell you where your time goes, which documents never finish, and which ones you can stop worrying about. This register follows the 3 questions we put to 2 teams who have a full reporting cycle behind them: what took the most time, what they would skip if they started again, and where bringing someone in earned its keep.

What is inside:

  • Every document, grouped by what it actually costs you, so you can see where the work concentrates
  • The 4 that never finish, and why planning them as projects sets you up to fail
  • Where both teams got stuck, and why it was colleagues more than the technical work
  • Where outside help paid for itself, and where it did not
  • The full recording of the panel, with timestamps per question

Who it is for: Sustainability managers, ESG leads and reporting teams preparing their first CSRD cycle, or tightening the second one.
