Compliance Playbook For US Companies In Response To Europe's CSRD
James Felton Keith is CEO at Inclusion Score Inc. and Labor Economist at Keith Institute. His latest book is #DataIsLabor. As Europe tightens the screws on corporate accountability through the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), many American business leaders may assume this legislation is a foreign affair. It's not. U.S. companies with European operations—whether through subsidiaries, branches or major supply chains—will be swept up in the CSRD's broad reporting requirements. And the clock is ticking. Having already started and phasing in through 2028, the CSRD will apply to over 50,000 companies, including thousands of U.S.-based firms. This includes if your company is publicly listed in the EU, has more than €150 million in EU revenues and at least one EU subsidiary or branch or is a large private company doing business in the EU. In other words, you can be subject to CSRD compliance, even if your headquarters is in New York, Houston or Silicon Valley. Compliance is not just about carbon disclosures. It demands a comprehensive environmental, social and governance (ESG) narrative—validated by third-party audits and reported in a digital format aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). Social impact, particularly around human capital and workforce inclusion, is a major pillar. This is where I think many U.S. companies will stumble. American firms often lag behind their European counterparts in measuring and managing workforce equity in a systematic and certifiable manner. To communicate effectively across international borders, companies and governments are turning to the ISO-30415:2021 standard on diversity and inclusion, which provides a clear framework that supports the social reporting requirements of the CSRD. It breaks diversity and inclusion into four business functions: 1. Governance 2. Human resources 3. Product delivery 4. Supplier diversity These all mirror the key dimensions the CSRD asks companies to assess. Among the four, product and supplier diversity is typically the least developed, particularly across the S&P 500 and S&P Europe 350. Overall, though, I find that none of the four DEI categories are being effectively integrated into or conveyed through companies' operational risk management framework or personnel. This is not just a regulatory issue, but an insurance risk management cost. This is a global issue, and it is important to note that Lloyd's syndicates are using the ISO-30415 standard for DEI to segment underwriting of employment and professional insurance lines as grievances and lawsuits rise. According to a recent analysis by Bank of Montreal (BMO) and the Swiss Re Institute, the social inflation rate—the trend of rising insurance claims costs driven by increased litigation—is not expected to slow in 2025, posing a threat to insurer profitability and overall market stability. Under normal conditions, social inflation rates are about 3.7%. However, rates averaged about 7% between 2017 and 2023. For companies under CSRD scrutiny, this means focusing on audit-readiness for social impact statements, maturity models for continuous improvement and workforce data collection and analysis frameworks that can stand up to European regulators. My previous article explores the shift toward systematic DEI management through the adoption of ISO standards. To be clear, the ISO standard is the first and only global consensus on intentional equity and inclusion, designed as a risk management tool for complex organizations—particularly those operating across state and international borders. Companies should seek certification of both individuals and organizational silos in the standard to communicate their maturity to both insurers and regulators. In my experience, people often assume that there have been many "DEI" standards, but that is not the case. What we're seeing instead is the emergence of an industry focused on managing people alongside technology as central to the future of work. The ISO 30415 standard, in particular, is currently being adopted by a range of national and international regulators, including the French Association for Standardization (AFNOR) in France, the British Standards Institution (BSI) in the United Kingdom, the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) in Canada, the Colombian Institute of Technical Standards and Certification (IconTec) in Colombia and the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States. The ISO-30415 Diversity and Inclusion Service Management Forum currently offers certification in more than 100 countries and in four languages. The list of those who will be impacted within the United States is extensive and include: • Big tech (e.g., Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Google) with large European footprints • Pharmaceutical and healthcare companies (e.g., Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Abbott) with global clinical trials and EU sales • Financial services firms (e.g., JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citibank) with EU branches or listings • Multinational manufacturers and energy giants (e.g., General Electric, ExxonMobil, Ford, Caterpillar) • Retail and consumer goods companies (e.g., Procter & Gamble, Nike, Coca-Cola, McDonald's) selling to or sourcing from the EU If your company does over €150 million in revenue in Europe, has EU-based subsidiaries or trades in European markets, you're on the hook, and you will need a social accounting system to demonstrate compliance. Failing to comply with CSRD means more than reputational damage. It could lead to legal penalties, investor pressure and contractual barriers to market access in the EU. On the other hand, companies that take proactive steps to align with ISO-30415 stand to gain: • A competitive edge in global procurement and investment • A clear internal roadmap for DEI implementation • The ability to future-proof their workforce reporting in line with international standards As European regulators shift sustainability from voluntary to mandatory, American businesses must shift diversity and inclusion from a moral initiative to a measurable business function. I believe the ISO-30415 standard is the best tool to get there—and the CSRD is the reason you can't wait.

How Should Businesses Be Approaching Sustainability Now?
There is a palpable air of uncertainty among many multinational corporate sustainability, ESG and risk management teams these days as everyone tries to anticipate the future of sustainability regulation. I've written quite a bit about the mixed messages companies are receiving from regulators in Europe as the EU Member States continue to debate the details of the Omnibus Simplification Package, and in the U.S., where it's still unclear exactly how this historic period of environmental deregulation will affect companies. The fact is that many businesses have invested significant time and resources into sustainability compliance and reporting initiatives while operating under the impression that major reforms like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) would be hitting their stride right now. Instead, they're living through a period of regulatory limbo in which it's not clear what exactly their future sustainability compliance obligations entail. So, what should they be doing in the meantime? The short answer is: now is the time to be reviewing the steps they have made so far, and the most obvious place to start is with is their materiality assessments. In the world of financial reporting, materiality is defined as information that can influence and ultimately inform the financial decision making of an entity. When applied to sustainability reporting, a materiality assessment is a company's foundational definition of the core sustainability issues that matter most to their businesses and their stakeholders. These guide the way they will report and integrate them into overall business strategy and investment. In short, these materiality assessments shine a light on the foundational truths that define a company's values and goals and determine whether or not they are aligned with their strategic objectives. The identification of these material matters is also the starting point to determine the information that should be disclosed in the sustainability statement, which identifies the impacts, risks and opportunities confronting a company and its upstream and downstream value chain. At a time when the rules of the game keep changing and where corporate positions on sustainability can easily become politicized, a well-thought-out and delivered materiality assessment is an important way for a company to assert the business case for its sustainability strategy. Importantly, it is a way for companies to take the emotion out of sustainability and instead focus on the facts and the financial rationale behind their actions, while ensuring their sustainability strategy is dynamic and meets the changing needs of their businesses. Even during this period of regulatory flux, the market drivers behind sustainability have not changed , and in some cases they have even increased in significance. Now is the time for businesses to really look at what other companies in their space are doing when it comes to sustainability reporting. This peer comparison will soon become a key benchmark against which other companies will measure themselves and will also be measured. While sustainability disclosure reporting regulators have been debating the best path forward, many leading companies have already started reporting in compliance with the CSRD. In fact, some 500 companies have already published sustainability reports under the CSRD. The full library of reports can be found here, courtesy of ESG data management software company KEY ESG, which has been cataloging them all. One of the first things that stands out when reviewing these reports is that many of them come from companies in jurisdictions where the CSRD has yet to be fully implemented. In fact, according to a detailed PwC analysis of 100 CSRD reports, about 90% of them came from five European countries, three of which (Germany, Spain and the Netherlands) have not yet transposed the CSRD into national law. Another key finding of the analysis was that these reports are not very standardized. Some are 30 pages; others are 300 and they each focus on different aspects of sustainability-related risks. However, the important takeaway for business leaders who are still refining their approaches to sustainability reporting is that hundreds of manufacturers, technology companies, financial services firms, retailers, utilities and others are already out there walking the walk on sustainability reporting. These early standard bearers will not only have a jump on the intricacies of the reporting process once the mandate is finalized; they will also help establish industry best practices and position themselves as leaders to investors, customers and other stakeholders who increasingly want to know about business risks linked to sustainability. It's easy for business leaders to become distracted in a news cycle like the one we find ourselves in today that seems to be consumed with the idea of delayed implementation and political infighting. The big picture is that, delayed or not, sustainability reporting mandates of some type are coming, whether directly from regulators, or as is currently the case, from other stakeholders such as investors and customers. The sooner companies get themselves aligned with those standards, the better off they will be when the time comes to comply with the law. Moreover, with so many companies already reporting in line with the CSRD, and the informed view is that more and more will do so voluntarily, the prevailing market forces are creating some pressure on businesses that have not yet shared their sustainability reports. Now is not the time to delay. It is the time to refine and hone sustainability practices to focus on what matters most to the business and its stakeholders.
