How Datamaran is Supporting CSRD Regulation Compliance

Sustainability reporting is continuing to evolve and expectations of regulators, investors and stakeholders are continuing to shift.

As the European Commission continues to advance its reporting frameworks, companies are under increasing pressure to demonstrate that their ESG and non-financial priorities are both relevant and defensible. 

Datamaran states that many companies still rely on static assessments that quickly become outdated, creating a gap between strategy and reality.

In response, Datamaran has enhanced its Core platform to help organisations monitor, prioritise and govern sustainability risks and opportunities more precisely and efficiently.

Strengthening ESG intelligence

According to the European Commission, EU law requires companies above a certain size to disclose information on potential risks and opportunities arising from social and environmental issues, as well as their impact on people and the environment.

The aim is to help investors, civil society organisations and stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability performance of companies as part of the European Green Deal.

The latest updates to Datamaran Core are designed to transform sustainability strategy from an ad hoc exercise into an ongoing, evidence-based and data-driven process. 

Updating external signal monitoring capabilities can allow companies to track regulatory developments, peer disclosures and value chain changes in real time, helping identify emerging sustainability risks before they escalate. 

The platform’s enhanced Dynamic Stakeholder Intelligence Matrix also enables organisations to assess evolving stakeholder expectations and proactively address potential gaps between business strategy and external priorities.

“These enhancements give organisations a structured, data-driven way to continuously identify, prioritise and monitor the risks and opportunities that shape their business,” says Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and Co-Founder of Datamaran.

“What’s different in 2026 is that companies want to do this in a more streamlined, cost-effective and integrated way."

Advancing sustainable collaboration

Datamaran’s upgraded collaboration architecture introduces role-based workflows and stakeholder survey tools, supporting broader participation across business functions. 

The release also strengthens the platform’s double materiality capabilities through features such as the IRO Industry Landscape, which benchmarks impacts, risks and opportunities against audited CSRD peer reports.

In addition, AI-generated IRO recommendations provide organisations with evidence-based suggestions that can be integrated directly into reporting workflows, supporting more efficient and audit-ready sustainability processes.

"Datamaran Core brings structure, transparency and continuous intelligence into the process,” says Ian van der Vlugt, VP, Market Leader, Insights & Training, at Datamaran.

“Whether it’s for enhancing governance and strategy or for specifically complying with ISSB or CSRD, the platform has you covered.”

Supporting long-term resilience

Built on intelligence gathered from nearly 10,000 companies, regulatory sources across more than 190 jurisdictions and global media coverage, Datamaran Core is positioned to help organisations navigate increasingly complex sustainability requirements. 

The platform supports compliance frameworks, including CSRD and ISSB, while enabling companies to strengthen governance and continuously validate strategic priorities against external developments. 

As more businesses prepare for expanded sustainability disclosure obligations, AI-driven platforms such as Datamaran are playing a growing role in helping organisations build resilience, improve transparency and embed sustainability into long-term decision-making.

"With Datamaran, we have an objective, data-driven process that brings rigour and defensibility to our strategy,” says the Director of a Fortune 500 Financial Institute.
