Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

2:00 am

Dr. Rachel Widdis:

That is the reporting side of it, yes. I am talking about the due diligence side. For the very large companies that have to not harm human rights and the environment, the company in Galway is likely not to figure because it will not be a big risk. For the reporting, I do not know that level of granularity, but what I can share, if it is of interest, is that it has been said to me that the accountancy firms' approach to the ESRS, which is really the devil in the detail of the CSRD, has generated a bit of a pushback as well because it has been so tough and there have been many complaints.
