ESRS E1 (Climate Change Disclosure Standard)

Which climate risk platform is right for your business?

Definition

ESRS E1 (Climate Change Disclosure Standard) is the European sustainability reporting standard that sets out how companies must disclose their exposure to climate-related risks, impacts, and transition plans. It sits within the CSRD and covers both physical risks (like flooding) and transition risks (like carbon pricing).

Example in context

You’re supporting a sustainability lead at a utility company preparing their first CSRD report. Under ESRS E1, they need to quantify physical risks across their infrastructure, flag material hazards, and include datapoints like exposure, financial impact, and mitigation actions, all structured and auditable.

Why it matters

ESRS E1 makes climate disclosure much more specific. Companies now need to provide quantitative datapoints, scenarios, and site-level insights, not just high-level commentary. EarthScan Disclose supports this by generating Excel and PDF outputs that align with ESRS E1 requirements, saving weeks of manual work.
