Benchmarking Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities Disclosed in CSRD Reports

[Benchmark Module]

Datamaran’s IRO Benchmark capabilities enable you to analyze and compare the Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs) disclosed in CSRD reports across your selected peer group or industry leaders. This allows you to assess how your organization’s disclosures align with market practices and emerging standards.

How to Run an IRO Benchmark Analysis

To generate your IRO benchmark and explore how your peers are disclosing IROs, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Benchmark module.

  2. If this is your first analysis, click Get started. Otherwise, click Create new from the menu next to your existing analysis name.

  3. Enter a name for your analysis.

  4. Select the companies you wish to benchmark against.

    Note: CSRD benchmarks will be based only on the specific companies selected, if they publish a CSRD-compliant report.

  5. Click Save & Run analysis to begin generating your benchmark.

  6. Once complete, a chart will display, visualizing how your ESG disclosures compare to those of your selected peers.

  7. Navigate to the IRO tab. This section presents a table showing which companies have disclosed Risks, Opportunities, and Positive or Negative Impacts by ESRS topic, relative to your latest CSRD report (if available). The numbers reflect the IROs available for each ESRS topic.

    Note: If your company has not yet published a CSRD report, the first column will appear blank.Screenshot 2025-08-19 at 14.33.44
  8. Click on any ESRS topic in the table to dive deeper into your IROs and see how they align with peer disclosures. Use filters to refine your view as needed.
    When available, the ESRS sub-topic will be shown under the IRO statement.
