Assurance-ready evidence

Every datapoint documented. Every source traceable.

CSRD reports go through external assurance. When assurers test your sustainability statements, Business Radar gives you the evidence behind every figure, with the date and source attached.

  • Full audit trail: timestamps, source data, risk classification
  • Exportable reports for assurance and internal records
  • A clear record of what you knew and when you knew it

Frequently Asked Questions about ESG Monitoring with Business Radar

Contact us
How does Business Radar support our double materiality assessment?

CSRD requires the assessment to be fact-based, grounded in actual and potential impacts rather than internal opinion. Business Radar delivers classified, scored intelligence across 210+ risk categories mapped to ESRS sustainability topics, with sentiment classification and relevance scoring, so both the impact and the financial side of materiality rest on documented evidence.

Does this cover our value chain or only direct suppliers?

Your reporting scope rarely stops at direct relationships, and neither does the monitoring. Corporate linkage and subsidiary mapping via Dun & Bradstreet, combined with UBO data, connect developments to the entities behind your value chain, so risk carried by subsidiaries and related companies does not stay hidden.

Will the evidence hold up under external assurance?

That is what it is built for. Every datapoint carries a full audit trail with timestamps, source data and risk classification, and reports are exportable for assurance and internal records. When assurers test a sustainability statement, you can show what you knew, when you knew it, and where it came from.

We are a Wave 2 company. When should we start?

Your first report covers FY2027, which makes 2026 the preparation window. A defensible double materiality assessment needs a monitoring baseline behind it, and building that baseline takes months, not weeks. Starting now means your first reporting cycle draws on a full year of structured evidence.

Does Business Radar produce the CSRD report itself?

No, and that is deliberate. Business Radar is the intelligence and evidence layer underneath your reporting: it monitors, classifies and documents the developments your materiality assessment and disclosures rest on. It works alongside your reporting tools and processes rather than replacing them.

Can we connect this to the systems we already use?

Yes. Work in the platform directly or bring signals into your own systems via the API and exports. Mass entity import means your full reporting scope can be loaded and monitored from day one instead of entity by entity.
