Sustainability reporting, CSRD and ESG tenders
Public bodies and state-owned companies tender sustainability reporting work for the same reasons private companies do: disclosure rules, investor expectations and their own commitments. In the European Union the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive has brought double materiality assessments, data systems and assurance readiness into scope for many public undertakings. Elsewhere the demand comes from green bond reporting, development bank requirements and national ESG rules.
Notices range from a single materiality assessment or a first sustainability report to multi-year support covering data collection, software, report drafting and assurance. Development finance institutions also tender ESG work of a different kind: environmental and social safeguards, supplier ESG programmes and impact reporting for their lending. Read the scope carefully, because ESG means quite different things to a ministry, a public bank and a utility.
This page lists open tenders that mention CSRD, sustainability reporting or ESG. It suits sustainability consultancies, reporting software vendors, impact and safeguards specialists, and the advisers to public banks and state-owned companies.

Frequently asked
Do public bodies need to report under the CSRD?
Public undertakings that meet the directive's company criteria can be in scope, and many public bodies choose to report in a similar way. Notices often ask for a gap analysis first.
What does ESG mean in a development bank tender?
Usually environmental and social safeguards: assessing and managing the effects of financed projects, supplier standards and impact reporting, rather than corporate disclosure.
Are green bond reporting tenders included?
Yes, where the notice mentions sustainability reporting or ESG. Green bond frameworks and second-party opinions also appear on the climate finance page.
