Communications in a chaotic world – insights into Euronext reporting

It’s been a roller coaster year for European reporters. Preparations for implementing the CSRD have been followed by proposed delays and changes to the requirements, while Trump’s election has impacted climate and DEI reporting in the US and beyond.

Emperor’s latest Euronext research explores how listed companies across Europe have navigated this chaotic landscape to meet the new CSRD requirements while at the same time delivering integrated and differentiated reporting. We also consider the impact this has had on their reporting network and broader communications.
Our publication provides a snapshot of reporting across seven European exchanges in 2025 and showcases best practice examples and innovative approaches that can serve as inspiration to companies of all sizes.

Key takeaways from our research include:

1. While most reports have increased in length as a result of the new sustainability statements, some companies have managed to shorten their reports by refining content in other sections.

2. Best practice reporters have tailored their disclosures and reporting structure to make content meaningful and relevant to meet stakeholder needs.

3. Companies have begun to address their material issues across their reporting to demonstrate alignment with their broader corporate strategies and business models.

4. The majority of companies have introduced infographics and other visual elements
to simplify complex information, and enhance engagement and understanding.

5. There’s an opportunity to make more of the website and other tailored channels and formats to tell a clear and consistent story that supports the compliance-led disclosures in the annual report.
