These frameworks are now live obligations, from King V and the JSE to the CSRD rules reaching South African suppliers, and they overlap. ESGware maps each one to twelve ESG themes, so one well-evidenced answer serves every framework that asks for it.
Europe's largest companies must now report in detail on their whole value chain under the CSRD and the ESRS. That obligation flows straight to their suppliers, South African ones included: if you sell to an EU or UK group, their report depends on data they will ask you for, on their timeline.
The most widely used standards for reporting an organisation's impacts on the economy, environment and people.
Industry-specific disclosure standards, now maintained by the IFRS Foundation, focused on financially material sustainability topics.
