EFRAG's long-awaited revised European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS) are now open for public consultation
– promising a 68% reduction in overall disclosures (notably
via the removal of voluntary "may disclose" options), a
simplified structure, and a major shift toward a fair presentation
regime.
Context
On 31 July 2025, EFRAG published the amended ESRS Exposure
Drafts (EDs) as part of the Omnibus revision effort. These
revisions aim to reduce reporting burdens, clarify expectations,
and increase alignment with international frameworks. The revised
EDs, which are open to public consultation until 29 September 2025,
concern all 12 ESRS and are accompanied by detailed logs of
amendments, new implementation guidance, and a glossary.
