ESRS (revised 2026) ESRS1-3a: Information materiality and the two-step determination of what to report

What does ESRS1-3a require?

Information is material when omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence primary users' resource decisions or other users' decisions about the undertaking's impacts, risks and opportunities. The undertaking first identifies the topics tied to its material impacts, risks and opportunities, either top-down from its strategy, business model, sectors, geographies and value chain (with a specific assessment where materiality is not evident) or bottom-up at the level of individual impacts, risks and opportunities, or a mix; it then reports ESRS 2, the general disclosure requirements on policies, actions, metrics and targets and the relevant topical DRs for each material topic or sub-topic, adding entity-specific information where needed. Immaterial prescribed information is not disclosed (other than clearly identified supplementary information), only the material information for a material sub-topic is reported, and the use of any relief is disclosed as the relevant chapter requires.
