ESRS standards raise many questions – explore the ESRS Q&A database

January 15, 2025
As you know, ESRS standards raise many questions. Most of them arise when we are in the process of creating a report or preparing data and information for it. Sometimes, however, we face a very specific problem and need a precise answer. Where can we find such answers? Who can provide them?

Piotr Biernacki has been co-creating ESRS standards at EFRAG for over four years. MATERIALITY experts have been applying them in practice for nearly two years, preparing over a dozen reports last year alone. Along the way, we encountered many doubts and dilemmas that we had to resolve by studying regulations, debating with experts, digging through EFRAG documents, and discussing with certified auditors. 

All the knowledge gathered in this way was previously only available to MATERIALITY consulting clients. From today, we are making it available to anyone who needs it. 

We have launched the ESRS Q&A platform at MATERIALITY ACADEMY, which is a database of questions and answers about reporting standards. Most importantly, it is not just a static database of questions, but also includes a mechanism for asking new questions and getting answers to them. 

We sincerely hope that our new platform will meet your needs, especially during this important reporting period. We invite you to visit www.esrs.pl!
