Does CSRD apply to my company?
Ten questions, then the answer financial year by financial year: FY2024, FY2025 and FY2026, FY2027 onwards, and the separate test for non-EU parents. It applies Directive 2013/34/EU as amended by the CSRD, the stop-the-clock directive and Omnibus I, and names the article behind every line. Answer for the group if the entity is a parent that consolidates.
Method: a large undertaking exceeds two of the three Article 3(4) criteria (EUR 25m balance sheet total, EUR 50m net turnover, 250 employees). A wave-1 entity is an EU large public-interest entity with more than 500 employees, which reported FY2024. From financial years starting on or after 1 January 2027 the scope is undertakings and groups exceeding 1 000 employees and EUR 450m net turnover, and listed SMEs are out. Wave 1 is kept for three financial years from 1 January 2024, with a Member State option to exempt those below the new thresholds for FY2025 and FY2026. A non-EU parent is in scope from FY2028 if EU net turnover exceeded EUR 450m in each of the last two financial years and an EU subsidiary or branch exceeded EUR 200m. Article 3(10) makes a change of size category take effect only when a threshold is exceeded, or no longer exceeded, in two consecutive financial years. Same logic as the Bindler workbook. A working tool, not legal advice; the Member State transposing law controls, and it is due by 19 March 2027.
