These are the 5 main advantages of reporting Non-Financial Information (NFI) under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS):
The advantages of reporting NFI under ESRS go far beyond just ticking a box.
This standard not only organizes how non-financial information is presented, it also makes life easier for those who need to interpret and compare the data: from investors to public administrations.
Knowing what to report, how, and in what format saves time, avoids misunderstandings, and reduces the margin of error.
It also helps align our strategy with European market demands, where good intentions are no longer enough. You need to show results.
Reporting well today is key to competing tomorrow.
Because without clear data, there are no strong decisions or solid arguments to negotiate, grow, or attract funding, especially in the context of emerging sustainable finance frameworks that are redefining access to capital.
Regulations are already in place, and they’re becoming more demanding.
Reporting under ESRS helps you stay prepared without last-minute improvisation.
Having a clear structure from day one prevents last-minute corrections and speeds up the entire review and submission process.
It’s not just about compliance. It’s about standing out.
Companies that report properly, with solid data, truly stand apart.
Showing that you’re in control of your ESG impact gives you a stronger position with investors, clients, and partners.
We don’t just work for the NFI report.
When data is well-organized, you can reuse it for CSRD, Taxonomy, ISO certifications, or whatever comes next.
This includes commonly requested metrics like your carbon footprint, which are essential across multiple frameworks.
Once everything is measured and structured, you can respond to any requirement without starting over.
This includes commonly requested metrics like your carbon footprint or applying a precise emission factor for calculating scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions.
Reliable ESG data isn’t just useful for reporting. It helps you identify opportunities, risks, and priorities.
Making smart decisions is much easier when your data is structured from the ground up.
More and more people want to work for companies with purpose and clear direction.
When we share real data and concrete objectives, we align teams better and build stronger internal commitment.
Reporting NFI under ESRS means working with a standard that defines what ESG information to disclose and how to disclose it.
It’s not just a technical change. It’s a mindset shift: moving from generic reports to structured, useful, and comparable disclosures.
This saves time, reduces errors, and improves the quality of what we communicate.
We no longer need to adapt to each format request.
Instead, we work from a common base that works for everything.
It also allows us to speak the same language as the rest of the market, which is key when we want to show strength, transparency, and long-term vision.
Sustainability is no longer a checkbox. It’s at the core of business strategy. Failing to understand this means being left behind.
New regulations don’t just require reporting. They reveal who’s doing it right and who isn’t.
If you don’t measure, you can’t improve. And if you don’t improve, you lose competitiveness.
Can we relax? Not really.
More and more investors, clients, and regulators are examining ESG data with a magnifying glass.
It’s not about copy-pasting data.
Reporting properly under ESRS means knowing what data you need, where it is, and how to connect it with each section of the standard.
You need data that is traceable, reliable, and organized. It shouldn’t change format every time someone touches it.
Because one broken data point can ruin the whole report.
And no, this can’t be fixed with a quick Excel spreadsheet.
It requires time, a solid management system, and above all, real, updated data.
The first challenge is not knowing where to start.
Many companies haven’t even identified their ESG data, or it’s scattered across different systems with no control or traceability.
Another challenge is understanding what each section of the ESRS is really asking for.
It’s not just about filling boxes.
You need to justify each piece of data with solid, auditable criteria.
If you don’t do it right from the start, you’ll end up redoing reports again and again.
That’s why the solution is clear: automate processes, centralize your information, and work with data ready to reuse.
That’s how you turn a data mess into a valuable source of information for your NFI, CSRD, Taxonomy, or any future ESG need.
At Dcycle, we are not auditors or consultants.
We are a solution for companies that want to stop wasting time on reports that don’t actually help.
We gather all your ESG data and transform it into useful information.
So you can report your NFI under ESRS, but also comply with CSRD, SBTi, Taxonomy, ISOs, or whatever comes next.
We make it simple.
We connect with your systems, organize your data, and generate reliable and reusable reports. All from a single platform.
Because sustainability is not a “nice to have”, it’s a competitive advantage.
And if you don’t have control of your data, you won’t be able to use it.
That’s where we come in.
NFI is the report where we summarize the non-financial information of the company.
ESRS is the set of standards that defines how to structure and present that information.
One is the content, the other is the format.
Together, they make reporting clearer, more useful, and easier to compare.
Not all, but almost.
For now, it applies to large companies and publicly listed ones, but the scope expands each year.
If it doesn’t apply to you yet, get ready anyway.
Because when the time comes, it’ll be too late to improvise.
The timeline is already in motion.
Large companies start reporting in 2025, using data from 2024. Mid-sized companies follow after that.
The sooner we start, the better we position ourselves. Nobody wants to be racing against the clock when there’s so much at stake.
Yes, and that’s the key.
When your ESG data is well-structured, you can use it for CDP, SBTi, Taxonomy, CSRD, ISOs, or any future requirement.
No need to repeat the effort if you’ve already measured and organized everything properly from the start.
First, you need to have your ESG data located and in good shape. Then, with a solution like Dcycle, you connect it, structure it, and generate ready-to-go reports for any standard.
We’re not consultants or auditors. We’re a solution that gives you control over your ESG information and helps you use it wherever you need it.
That way, you report better, with less hassle and no wasted time.
