The European Commission has announced plans to simplify climate reporting and reduce the burden placed on businesses by legislation that includes the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The Commission’s Omnibus I proposals — COM(2025) 80 and COM(2025) 81 (February 2025) — aim to delay all CSRD and CSDDD reporting until 2028, remove a large number of smaller (mid-cap) businesses from their scope, and simplify required data points. While these changes reduce reporting requirements, they also introduce fast and complex revisions to existing rules. Data center operators should monitor the progress of the Omnibus closely.
