Public consultation on simplifying the ESRS extended

On 1 July 2025, EFRAG received a letter from EU Commissioner Albuquerque. In this letter the European Commission announces to move the deadline for EFRAG delivering its technical advice on the revision and simplification of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) to 30 November 2025. The original deadline was 31 October.

The EFRAG Sustainability Reporting Board (EFRAG SRB) therefore decided on 2 July 2025 to extend the period for the public consultation. Originally, a duration of 30 to 45 days was envisaged. The consultation will now last 60 days – from the end of July to the end of September 2025.

EFRAG welcomes this extension. It gives stakeholders more time to review the drafts and provide input. The feedback will complement the insights gained from the dialogue with stakeholders in April and May of this year. Further outreach events are also planned for the end of September and beginning of October.
