Introduction

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is reshaping business reporting, requiring companies to integrate sustainability into strategy, governance, and operations. Effective January 2024, it mandates transparency on risks, opportunities, impacts, and metrics aligned with the EU Green Deal and Paris Agreement goals.

To help companies navigate this transformative shift, Irish Medtech and Engineering Industries Ireland has launched the first of three reports focusing on CSRD’s environmental standards. This initial report explores ESRS E1: Climate Change, offering practical guidance for compliance and leadership in sustainable practices, ensuring Ireland's medtech hub continues to thrive and supporting our industry’s energy transition and decarbonisation journey.
