导读:CSRD和SAF两者并行推进能最大化成效、确保法规合规,并让企业在可持续转型中抢占先机。

可持续航空燃料(Sustainable Aviation Fuel,以下简称SAF)和欧盟推出的企业可持续发展报告指令(Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive,以下简称CSRD)都是环境、社会和治理(Environmental, Social and Governance ,以下简称ESG)领域的热门话题。而且,它们之间的交集可能比你想象的还要多。


无论是CSRD将于何时生效还是欧盟成员国将以何种方式落实该法规,CSRD都是一项庞大的ESG法规,需要企业的全面准备。鉴于披露要求的广泛性,CSRD的准备工作通常涉及到内部资源分配、利益相关者的技能提升与培训、董事会层面的更高参与度、数据基础设施选择、价值链各环节关系的建立,以及跨职能部门的整合。许多企业可能会倾向于先处理CSRD,然后再着手SAF。但事实上,围绕SAF的决策与实施同样可以借助CSRD所建立的流程。





双重重要性与双轨流程


根据CSRD,企业必须使用《欧洲可持续发展报告标准》(ESRS),该标准涵盖一系列ESG主题和数据点。CSRD要求企业进行“双重重要性”评估,将可持续性报告范围从仅关注财务影响(即“单一重要性”)扩展至涵盖整个价值链中的环境和社会影响。这种“双重重要性”方法要求企业评估ESG领域中哪些方面对业务具有重要性或实质性影响

而这正是企业在遵守CSRD披露要求所做的准备工作时,与推动SAF应用之间可能产生交集的领域。


在双重重要性框架下,碳减排为旅游和差旅行业带来了挑战:如何在减少因差旅产生的负面排放的同时,继续保持差旅对业务带来的正面价值?这时,SAF就成为一种战略选择,有助于企业在保持商务差旅的同时减少温室气体(GHG)排放——可以说是ESG中最重要、最具实质性的一部分





有效的温室气体减排


SAF并不是温室气体减排的万能药。真正有效的减排需要全面、多元的策略。然而,作为解决方案的一部分,将SAF纳入差旅政策不仅彰显了企业对可持续发展的承诺,而且其带来的温室气体减排效果也在CSRD报告中占有关键地位。使用SAF可以成为差旅减排战略中最具可操作性的举措之一,它能够带来可衡量的数据,并为CSRD披露提供有力支持。





为长期可持续发展增值


在CSRD披露和SAF上线过程中,通过利用这些相似的流程(沟通、实施和嵌入),可以最大化ESG预算的价值。相比“先应对CSRD,再考虑SAF”,并行推进显然更高效。这样不仅能够在一开始就将可持续发展嵌入业务流程和治理中,还能推动企业以更长远的视角践行可持续发展。


归根结底,CSRD和SAF在准备、报告和推动短期与长期可持续目标方面都有共通之处。两者并行推进能最大化成效、确保法规合规,并让企业在迈向可持续未来的转型中抢占先机。

CSRD and SAF: towards the same goals


Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and the incoming European Union Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are both hot topics in the ESG space. And they cross over more than you might think.


Regardless of discussion around exactly when CSRD will go into effect and how EU member states will transpose the regulation, CSRD is a huge piece of ESG legislation requiring organization-wide preparation. Given the breadth of disclosure requirements, CSRD preparation prompts the need for internal resource allocation, upskilling and education of stakeholders, increased board-level engagement, choices regarding data infrastructure, building relationships throughout the value chain, and integration across functions. Many organizations might be tempted to deal with CSRD first and then address SAF at a later stage. But decision-making and implementation around SAF can leverage the same processes put in place for CSRD, too.





Double materiality, dual processes


Under the CSRD, companies must use the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which specify disclosure across a series of ESG topics and data points. CSRD requires organizations to undergo a "double materiality" exercise to broaden their sustainability reporting beyond financial impacts (commonly known as "single materiality"), to also include environmental and social impacts throughout their value chain. This "double materiality" approach asks an organization to assess which areas within ESG are significant – or material – to the business.

And this is where company preparations to disclose under CSRD can intersect with the push towards SAF.

Carbon reduction presents the travel industry with a challenge regarding double materiality. How do you balance the need to reduce negative materiality of emissions generated by travel while continuing to reap the positive materiality of travel for business? This is where SAF can become a strategic choice that contributes to reconciling continued business travel with reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – arguably one of the most significant and material areas of ESG in this space.




Tangible GHG reductions


SAF isn't the silver bullet in emissions reductions. There is no replacement for a comprehensive and multi-pronged approach to GHG reductions. However, when treated as part of the solution, building SAF into your business travel offering not only demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, but the subsequent reduction in GHG emissions from SAF implementation is also crucial in the context of CSRD reporting. Using SAF can be one of the more tangible elements of a travel emissions reduction strategy, driving activity and robust data that can be captured through the CSRD disclosure.





Adding value for longer-term sustainability


Leveraging these parallel processes – to engage, implement, and embed – around CSRD disclosure and SAF onboarding also maximizes the value derived from ESG budget. Instead of tackling CSRD first, then exploring options around SAF, it makes sense to approach them in tandem. Not only is this more efficient, it also puts a longer-term approach to sustainability into practice, allowing companies to further embed sustainability into business processes and governance from the offset.
