Listed companies

According to ESEF (European Single Electronic Format) reporting requirements starting from the year 2021 – all listed companies are required to report their financials in XHTML. 

IFRS consolidated financial statements are required to be tagged using Inline XBRL (iXBRL) format that shall be embedded in the XHTML document version. According to ESEF it is required to tag main financial statements and ~ 230 text blocks of all financial information notes. For tagging IFRS taxonomy should be used. Tagging process should be done using a specialized XBRL International-certified tool. For ESEF conversion, we offer the CoreFiling Seahorse tool (read more about it below).

Large companies subject to CSRD

The requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) envisage the digitization (electronic format) of the sustainability report. So your sustainability report, which will be part of the management report in the annual report, will have to be submitted to the regulatory authority and published on the website in the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF). It means that the management report will be in XHTML format and the sustainability report will be tagged according to the Inline XBRL (iXBRL) specification using the ESRS XBRL taxonomy. You can take a look at the ESRS XBRL taxonomy by contacting us. Read more about the digitization of sustainability reports here: ESEF format for digital sustainability reporting. What does that mean for the companies?

In 2022 Orients Digit in cooperation with CoreFiling have created the first publicly available digital sustainability report template in Europe. To tag the report, the project of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) taxonomy was used. Check it here.
