| CSRD is more current than ever and requires data sharing between, for example, manufacturer and builder/installer. As a manufacturer, you have calculated the CO₂ emissions of your products, but how do you ensure that these figures reach your customers? As a builder/installer you need CO₂ emission data for the items you purchase, but how do you get access to this information? | ![]() |
More than 350 professionals participated in the webinar ‘Efficiently sharing CO₂ data for CSRD reporting’ on February 12. A success that shows how much this complex theme concerns people. This webinar was specifically aimed at the technology sector. A similar session will follow in April, for construction companies. The reason for the webinar is the Corporate Sustainability Directive (CSRD). This European directive obliges companies to publish a sustainability report. The rules have applied to large companies since 2024. “But SMEs will also have to deal with it in the short term,” says Maurits Cammeraat (digiGO Digital Ecosystem Manager and discussion leader during the webinar). In order to comply with the CSRD, it is essential that all parties in the technology and construction sector can smoothly share sustainable data with each other. digiGO, together with Techniek Nederland, Bouwend Nederland and FME-FEDET, has investigated how this can best be handled. “We are working on a roadmap for sharing environmental product data.”
Please follow 2BA on LinkedIn and stay up to date with the latest news regarding data sharing from, among others, the CSRD.
It is currently already possible to publish the CO₂ emission data via 2BA. One of the first steps in the solution is that from 18 March the CO₂ emissions data will also be available via the 2BA Unifeed search engine. In addition, we are working with Ketenstandaard Bouw en Techniek on a REST API to communicate the data without ETIM xChange. The necessary additions and/or changes will also be communicated with ETIM International so the latest exchange standard ETIM xChange is also fully compatible.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that requires large companies to report in their management report on their impact on environmental aspects and HR and social aspects, i.e. people and the environment.
