ESRS (revised 2026) ESRS1-7e: Omission of information and reporting on material opportunities

What does ESRS1-7e require?

Information may be omitted in four cases only: exceptionally, information seriously prejudicial to the commercial position where omission does not prevent a fair and balanced understanding, aggregated disclosure cannot meet the objective, the exemption is disclosed for each omitted datapoint and reassessed at each reporting date; trade secrets covering intellectual capital, intellectual property, know-how, technology or innovation results; classified information; and information protected by other Union or national law or for the privacy or security of a person, each with per-datapoint disclosure and annual reassessment. Beyond those omissions the overall relevance of the disclosure must not be impaired, and the fact that non-EU undertakings report less is no justification. Material opportunities are described so users can understand them, limited to opportunities being pursued or built into the strategy rather than general sector opportunities, with the ESRS 2 financial effects provisions applying.
