The European Commission’s Omnibus Simplification Package is shaking up the sustainability reporting world. This new proposal aims to streamline key ESG regulations – including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Taxonomy, and the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) – by reducing complexity, cutting redundancy, and easing the reporting burden. For companies, it promises simpler compliance. For ESG consultants and platforms? A clear signal: adapt fast or get left behind.
With the Commission targeting a 25% reduction in reporting burdens for large companies and 35% for SMEs, ESG service providers are rethinking their business models. Many are now racing to pivot – building or adopting smarter tech tools to keep pace with evolving client expectations. And at the center of this shift is a growing demand for automation, AI, and integrated ESG data workflows.
The Omnibus Package puts pressure on ESG consultants and platforms to simplify, streamline, and scale. The days of sprawling, resource-heavy compliance projects are being replaced by leaner, smarter approaches. Clients expect efficient support that saves them time, reduces admin, and delivers decision-ready ESG insights.
ESG reporting platforms are responding by ramping up automation. From auto-generated disclosures to real-time dashboards and data validation features, many are repositioning themselves as end-to-end compliance accelerators. The value proposition is clear: less manual effort, better data quality, and faster time-to-compliance.
To keep up with demand, consultancies and platforms alike are embracing artificial intelligence. Across the board, we’re seeing new AI-enabled offerings, partnerships, and platforms that can do the heavy lifting on ESG analysis – from parsing disclosure documents to running double materiality assessments and generating CSRD reports.
This shift isn’t just about speed. It’s about scalability and strategic advantage. With AI in the mix, ESG teams can serve more clients, analyze more documents, and maintain consistency and accuracy – even as regulatory expectations continue to evolve.
Clients still in scope for CSRD or preparing for CSDDD are now asking for solutions that reduce costs and scale efficiently. They want flexible, tech-enabled services that can integrate into their existing systems.
As a result, consultancies are increasingly turning toward white-labeled platforms, modular AI tools, and off-the-shelf integration options. This allows them to deliver high-quality ESG work without inflating project timelines or headcounts – a win-win for both the firm and its clients.
All of this is creating a moment of opportunity for third-party ESG AI platforms that can plug directly into these evolving workflows. This is where Briink comes in.
