To give a slight counter point, I had a lead role in the taskforce in charge of putting in place the first Green Taxonomy reporting in a construction company. The Green Taxonomy is one the law which was written at the same time as the CSDDD and the CSRD. It's probably the worst piece of law and one of the most useless thing I have ever seen in my life. When the reporting became mandatory, most of the documents required to decide if your activity was concerned were yet to be published. Application documents were inexistent. The commission had refused to coordinate with national accounting bodies to ensure things would be simple to interpret and the result was a monster. To give you an idea of how batshit crazy it was, as a construction company, we were supposed to evaluate how the regulations on chemical of every countries we operated in align with European limits for every chemicals our suppliers may use while working for us. Go ask your Indonesian third rank suppliers every components that is in their hand soap. All of that to publish a useless report with no actual impact in the field. Only a mad bureaucracy with no idea of how a company operates can produce such bullshit. I am fairly convince the CSDDD was the same. I knew what was in the CSRD and it's so impractical, it's hard to believe. Brussels under Von Der Leyen 1 was apparently completely crazy. It's good to see some sanity prevail.
