ChemSec points to hazardous substances reporting gap

GOTHENBURG – Several of Europe’s largest chemical companies have claimed that hazardous substances are not relevant enough to include in their mandatory sustainability reporting under the EU’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

The finding comes from new analysis published by environmental pressure group ChemSec, which has compiled and compared the CSRD reports from the companies ranked in this year’s ChemScore, ChemSec’s global sustainability index which ranks the top 40 chemical companies on their chemical footprint.
