Banks ask about emissions, customers send ESG questionnaires and investors want a sustainability strategy. A sound ESG strategy and reliable data increasingly decide financing terms and access to large customers' supply chains. At RSM Croatia, we help you turn regulatory, lender and customer demands into a real business advantage.

The Omnibus package (Directive (EU) 2026/470) has narrowed mandatory CSRD reporting to the largest undertakings. Yet banks and large customers still ask smaller companies for data, and those that have it in order find it easier to secure loans, grants and contracts. Our ESG services therefore cover two connected areas.

ESG strategy

Double materiality assessment

Identifying the ESG topics that matter most to your business and stakeholders.

EU Taxonomy alignment

Assessing eligibility and alignment, key for green loans and EU funding.

ESG analytics turns scattered data on energy, emissions, people and governance into indicators that drive board decisions and shape how banks and customers rate your company.

Sustainability report

Under the CSRD and the simplified ESRS, or the voluntary VSME standard for SMEs.

Our approach

We start from your business, not a template: where you stand, what banks, customers and regulation expect, and which priorities come first. The result is a strategy your board understands and data financiers trust.

ESG FAQs

After the Omnibus package, the CSRD obligation applies only to undertakings with more than 1,000 employees and more than EUR 450 million in turnover. Below these thresholds, reporting is not a legal requirement, but banks and customers often still ask for it. We will check how the rules and timelines apply to your company.

VSME is a voluntary sustainability reporting standard designed for SMEs. It lets you respond to bank and customer requests in a simple, comparable way.

An assessment that looks both ways: how your business affects people and the environment, and how ESG topics affect your company's financial position and performance. It is the foundation of any serious ESG strategy.

Under the GHG Protocol, emissions are split into Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased energy) and Scope 3 (value chain). We help you collect the data, calculate emissions and set reduction targets.
