After completing the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), companies take on the next crucial step: capturing, managing, and validating ESG data for CSRD-compliant reporting. While the DMA determines which topics are material, the focus now shifts to structured data processing. This blog explores how companies can efficiently transition from analysis to reporting—and how osapiens HUB for CSRD simplifies every step of the process.
