⭕Regarding EFRAG IG 3 ESRS Datapoints
This list cannot be used as a basis for the preparation of the machine-readable sustainability reporting – it does not represent the digital ESRS XBRL taxonomy.
EFRAG IG 3 contains the line items only for tables as a whole, which will be used to further disaggregate datapoints in the machine-readable format.
EFRAG IG 3 may be considered an intermediate step on the way to delivering the ESRS XBRL Taxonomy with a human-readable reports that will be easier to digitalise.
A datapoint encompasses a clearly separable and specific piece of information required by the ESRS Disclosure Requirements (DRs), generally at the level of each paragraph, subparagraph and sub-subparagraph.
In this Excel list (IG 3)
- 161 datapoints are mandatory irrespective of the materiality assessment
- 622 datapoints are subject to the materiality assessment
- 269 are voluntary datapoints marked as ‘may disclose’
In the Draft ESRS XBRL Taxonomy issued in Q1, the number of datapoints are more than the double.
