Kern van de disclosure

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain the actions it is taking, and the resources it is using, in relation to the sustainability matters it has identified as material. In practice, the report should show what is being done, where it is being done, and what support is being put behind it, rather than simply listing policies or intentions.

The practical focus is on giving a clear picture of coverage and effort across the business. That means explaining whether actions apply across the whole organisation, selected business units, specific sites, or parts of the value chain, and whether the resources involved are limited to a few flagship initiatives or spread more broadly. The aim is to help readers understand how seriously the material matters are being addressed in day-to-day operations.

Voorbereiding

Belangrijkste voor te bereiden informatie

Voorbereidingsveld Wat vast te leggen Aanwijzing voor bewijs Eigenaar
Action name The short name used internally for the action being described, so readers can identify which initiative the disclosure refers to. Project register, programme charter, board paper, or internal initiative tracker. Sustainability / programme management
Action coverage Which part of the business, asset base, geography, or activity the action applies to, stated in the same way the organisation tracks it internally. Project scope note, business-unit plan, asset list, or operational boundary document. Sustainability / business owner
Action timing The period or dates for the action, including when it started, when it is expected to finish, or the reporting window it covers. Project timeline, milestone plan, implementation schedule, or status report. Programme management
Completed steps What has already been done under the action, in enough detail to show the main measures already carried out. Progress report, workstream update, implementation log, or meeting minutes. Programme management / operational lead
Next steps The actions still to come, including the main tasks the organisation intends to carry out next. Action plan, roadmap, project plan, or approved work programme. Programme management
Expected results The outcomes the organisation expects the action to deliver, stated in practical terms and linked to the initiative. Business case, benefits plan, target-setting paper, or project benefits tracker. Sustainability / programme management
Resource type The kinds of resources being used or allocated, such as money, staff time, equipment, services, or other support. Budget note, resourcing plan, procurement record, staffing plan, or project budget. Finance / programme management
This year spend The amount of resources allocated in the current reporting year for the action, using the organisation’s reporting currency and period. Current-year budget, actuals report, cost centre extract, or management accounts. Finance
Future spend range The expected allocation for later periods, shown as a range rather than a single figure where that is how the organisation plans it. Medium-term plan, pipeline budget, forecast range, or investment case. Finance / strategy
Linked accounts lines The financial statement line items that connect to the resources for this action, using the same account or line naming as the finance records. Trial balance, chart of accounts mapping, annual report note, or financial statement cross-reference. Finance / financial reporting
Funding conditions Any conditions, approvals, external support, or other dependencies that the funding relies on before the resources can be used. Funding agreement, approval memo, grant terms, investment committee paper, or dependency log. Finance / treasury / programme management
Other support used Any non-cash support used for the action, such as donated services, in-kind help, seconded staff, or equipment provided without charge. In-kind support log, HR secondment record, supplier agreement, or internal contribution tracker. Programme management / finance

Hoe u dit voorbereidt

Start by setting the boundary for the disclosure: decide which activity, project, or initiative you are describing, and make that choice explicit so the reader knows what is in and out of scope.
Define the terms you will use before drafting the entry. Clarify what you will count as the named action, the period it covers, the work already completed, the work still planned, and the results you expect to see.
Gather the support for each part of the disclosure. Pull together the records, approvals, plans, budgets, and other source material that back the description of the action and the resource information.
Prepare the actual disclosure text and figures. State the action in plain language, then set out what has been done, what remains to be done, the expected result, the kinds of resources involved, the amount used in the current year, the range planned for later periods, the linked financial statement line items, any reliance on funding, and any non-financial resources used.
Record any exclusions, changes, or assumptions that affect the numbers or narrative. If something was left out, reclassified, or adjusted, explain it clearly so the reader can understand the basis of the disclosure.
Check the draft against the official source before sign-off. Confirm that the wording, scope, timing, resource references, and supporting detail still match the underlying requirement and that nothing material has been missed or overstated.

De gegevens opvragen

Request the action plan and resource data from Finance / FP&A

Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.

What actions are being taken or planned on the material sustainability topics, and what resources are being committed now and next year to support them?

Use your organisation’s own planning and budgeting language first, then map it to the sustainability reporting categories. For example, ask for project names, workstreams, cost centres, capex/opex, headcount, and funding notes in the terms your teams already use. Check the official source before sign-off.

Zwak verzoek

Please provide the ESRS 2:GDR-A actions and resources disclosure data for all material sustainability matters, including the action name, scope, timeframe, actions taken, planned actions, expected outcomes, type of resources, current-year allocation, future allocation range, related financial statement line items, funding dependencies, and non-financial resources.

Waarom dit misgaat: It uses framework language that many teams do not use day to day, so the owner may not know which plans, budgets, or trackers to pull from. It also bundles too many concepts without telling them how to express the information in their own operational terms, which makes the request harder to action and harder to verify.

Beter verzoek

Please send the current and planned initiatives for [business area / topic] for [reporting period], using your normal project, budget, and forecast terms. For each initiative, include what it covers, what has already been done, what is planned next, the expected result, the resource type, this year’s allocation, the expected range for next year, any linked finance lines, any funding assumptions, and any non-cash support. Attach the budget extract, forecast, or project summary you used.

We prepared the coverage figure from the underlying action log, then checked that each item included what was done in the year, what is still to come, and the timing attached to each part.An assurer may test whether the figure mixes completed work with future plans, or whether dates and status labels were applied consistently across the disclosed actions.Action register or tracker; project plans and milestone dates; internal review notes showing how in-year and future items were separated; sign-off pack used before publication.
We grouped the environmental actions using our chosen avoid-reduce-restore style logic, and kept a short mapping note showing why each item sat in its category.An assurer may probe whether the grouping was applied consistently, whether any item was placed in the wrong bucket, or whether the basis for classification was documented.Classification matrix or mapping table; working papers showing the rationale for each action; reviewer comments and resolution notes; version history of the draft disclosure.
We limited the disclosed actions to the scope we had agreed for the report, and recorded the boundary decisions where an activity was included, excluded, or only partly covered.An assurer may ask whether the scope was set too narrowly or too broadly, and whether exclusions were deliberate, approved, and traceable.Scope memo; boundary and inclusion/exclusion log; management approvals; links between the disclosed actions and the underlying programme list.
We stated whether each action was delivered by us alone or together with other parties, and kept evidence of the roles each party played.An assurer may check whether collaboration claims are supported, whether partner involvement was overstated, or whether responsibility was unclear.Partnership agreements, joint project plans, emails or meeting minutes showing shared delivery, and internal ownership records for each action.
We described the actions in a way that separates what happened this year from what is planned later, and we checked that the timeframes were internally consistent across the narrative and tables.An assurer may test whether the timing is coherent, whether future milestones are realistic, and whether the same dates appear consistently in all parts of the disclosure.Programme timetable; board or committee papers approving the plan; draft-to-final comparison; cross-check of dates against the main report tables.
We linked each action to the policy aim it is meant to support, and kept a note explaining the expected result we were relying on.An assurer may probe whether the stated contribution is too vague, whether the expected result is plausible, and whether the link to the policy aim is evidenced rather than asserted.Policy documents; business case or project rationale; outcome statements; internal approval papers showing the intended contribution.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten in de rapportage

The information is presented without a date or as-at point.
The scope or boundary of the statement is left undefined.
Key terms are used inconsistently across the report.
Material changes since the previous period are not disclosed.
Assertions are made without supporting detail or a source record.
Boilerplate is used that does not actually answer what is asked.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten

Fouten om te vermijden bij het verzamelen van gegevens

Wrong ownerThe request goes to a policy lead or reporting contact instead of the team that actually runs the action or controls the budget, so the answer comes back second-hand and incomplete.
Framework language onlyPeople ask for the data using disclosure labels rather than the organisation’s own project, programme, or cost-centre terms, which makes the source team unable to map the request cleanly.
No clear boundaryThe collector does not state which business units, sites, or subsidiaries are in scope, so teams send mixed figures that cover different parts of the group.

Illustratieve voorbeelden

Synthetisch, geschreven door LRA — niet afkomstig uit een bedrijfsrapport en geen tekst uit een standaard.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — manufacturing

During the year, we ran a plant-efficiency programme across our two main sites, with work focused on energy use, water handling and waste reduction; the plan runs from Q2 2026 to Q4 2028 and is expected to cut operating emissions and disposal costs while improving process reliability.
- We spent 12.0 million in the current year, made up of 9.0 million cash spend and 3.0 million staff time and internal support; the cash element sat mainly in property, plant and equipment additions and operating expenses, while the people element was not separately capitalised.
- For the next three years, we expect to commit between 28.0 million and 34.0 million in total, with 18.0 million to 22.0 million likely to be capital spend and 10.0 million to 12.0 million likely to be operating spend; this is partly dependent on grant support of up to 6.0 million, and we also rely on internal engineering teams and existing production data systems rather than any external non-financial support.

Synthetic, internally consistent example for practitioner review only.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — retail

We are carrying out a store-network waste and packaging redesign across 180 outlets, with the work scheduled from January 2026 to December 2027 and aimed at lowering material use, reducing disposal charges and improving customer-facing sorting systems.
- In the current year, we allocated 4.8 million, comprising 3.6 million for supplier and fit-out costs and 1.2 million for internal project teams; the spend was recognised mainly through operating costs, with a smaller share in leasehold improvements.
- Over the next two years, we expect to allocate between 9.5 million and 11.0 million in total, including 6.5 million to 7.5 million of cash spend and 3.0 million to 3.5 million of internal labour and systems work; delivery depends in part on a possible local authority rebate of up to 1.5 million, and we are also using store manager training and our existing inventory platform as non-financial inputs.

Scenario’s om door te werken

A preparer is drafting the section for a material water-risk topic. The team has one project already underway, one project approved for next year, and a target that the business expects to reach if both go ahead.

VHow should the preparer decide what to include so the write-up covers the action itself, where it applies, when it happens, what has already started, what is still planned, and the outcome the company expects?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A finance team has agreed this year’s spend on a biodiversity programme, but the sustainability team also wants to mention a possible increase in funding next year if a grant is approved. The draft currently gives only one total figure and no explanation of what it covers.

VWhat should the preparer do to show the resources used now, the likely range for later funding, and any link to the financial statements or outside funding that affects the plan?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A company has launched a supplier-training programme to reduce labour-rights risks. The draft says the programme is ‘under way’ and lists a budget, but it does not say whether the budget is staff time, cash, software, or external support, and it does not mention any future funding uncertainty.

VHow should the preparer decide whether the resource description is complete enough for the disclosure?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A preparer is combining several climate-related measures into one paragraph because they all sit under the same material topic. One measure has already started, one is approved but not yet started, and one is only a proposal with no funding decision. The paragraph also mentions a target outcome but does not tie it to each measure.

VWhat is the right way to decide whether the paragraph gives a fair picture of actions taken versus actions still only intended, and whether the expected result is linked closely enough to the measures described?
