ESRS (revised 2026) ESRS1-9: Connected information, connectivity with the financial statements and incorporation by reference

What does ESRS1-9 require?

The statement shows the connections within itself (governance and strategy to topical disclosures, material impacts, risks and opportunities to their policies, actions, targets and metrics) and with the financial statements and other reports; information relevant to several DRs is placed once and cross-referred rather than repeated. Monetary or quantitative information also presented in the financial statements is cross-referenced to them, aggregates or components of financial statement amounts are explained against the most relevant line items, the same currency is used, and data and assumptions are consistent with those behind the financial statements with significant differences explained. A DR or datapoint may be incorporated by reference to another section of the management report, the financial statements, the corporate governance statement, the remuneration report, the universal registration document, Pillar 3 disclosures (matched to the consolidation scope) or an EMAS report (prepared on the same basis), provided the information is a clearly identified separate element addressing the DR, published at or before the management report, in the same language, under at least the same level of assurance and the same digital tagging, and without harming the readability and cohesiveness of the statement.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 2 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • P23 Coherence and linkage with the financial statements

ISSB Standards · 1 control

  • S1-23 S1.23: Consistency of data and assumptions with the financial statements

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
