CSRD: From Nightmare to Opportunity

Leading GRC Manufacturer Tackles CSRD a Little Differently

    Uninterrupted collaboration across departments and business units

Leading Danish GRC manufacturer, BB Fiberbeton, which are part of the JFK Group, went into the task of CSRD-reporting with one particular mindset:

They wanted more than just reporting for the sake of reporting.

BB Fiberbeton is a smaller company within the JFK group, and as such, it's important for them to prioritize as many of their resources as possible towards business-critical operations.

And so rather than view CSRD-reporting as a mandatory legal requirement, they looked for ways to turn it into a business-critical operation.

The more value the reporting could offer to the business, the more resources they could afford to spend on the task.

"Our nightmare scenario was to slowly drown in a morass of Excel sheets. Thankfully, CSRD Navigator helps guide us through the process with ease and efficiency."

Many Departments, One Cohesive Process

They could not, however, afford to throw caution to the wind.

Several different departments across both BB Fiberbeton and five other companies under the JFK Group umbrella needed to contribute to their own as well as a shared report.

But it wasn't possible for anyone to assume full-time responsibility for the project. As a result, they were looking at a collective administrative nightmare.

In short, they needed a complete overview and complete control over all the necessary data across various departments and stakeholders, and they lacked the internal capabilities to coordinate the different initiatives into a cohesive whole.

This is where CSRD Navigator entered the picture.

As Ann Katrine puts it, "We didn't have one person or business unit with an over-arching overview of the project. Instead we had many different stakeholders and experts spread across many different places. So, our solution was to use CSRD Navigator in such a way that let us work together while apart."

Navigator's platform keeps track of everyone's involvement in the CSRD-reporting process, stores all relevant data, and clarifies all the necessary actions that each individual department needs to take next.

This way each department contributes their parts independently, which the system helps combine into the greater whole.

Next Step: Gap Fit Analysis

The DMA has already been finished. Next up is the Gap Fit Analysis.

The main challenge here is figuring out the best way to proceed, again considering the fairly unique constellation of companies under the JFK Group umbrella.

And this is one area where CSRD Navigator sets itself apart from its competitors.

Uniquely, as part of Rambøll, we and our clients can at any time draw on our vast network of internal, world-leading experts in almost any field.

As such, in order to properly prepare for the Gap Fit Analysis and ensure everything is done in the most efficient manner, BB Fiberbeton have set up weekly round-tables with Rambølls CSRD-team led by Joachim Delventhal.

Guaranteed Legal Compliance — Always

In Along with the primary benefits of a system like CSRD Navigator, be that guides, frameworks, easy reporting, and step-by-step process management, a crucial perk is professional, specialized legal assistance.

CSRD Navigator exists for the express purpose of freeing companies from the administrative and legal grunt work, so that they may dedicate more time and resources to developing the DMA and other business-critical operations.

As such, our system is a perfect fit for both BB Fiberbeton and the JFK Group as a whole, as well as any other business looking to ensure full compliance while also keeping an eye on the business-related opportunities that the CSRD-reporting work might unveil.

We are the only ones to offer Navigator with the support of Ramboll's leading industry and area experts as a backup for the CSRD-solution.
