CSR and ESRS Reporting

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is about companies taking responsibility for the environment, social issues, and good governance. With the new ESRS standards (sustainability reporting under CSRD), there are now specific requirements for which HR data companies must document—especially within social issues (S1).

This article provides an overview of the HR key figures that BitaBIZ can deliver for use in your company’s CSR and ESRS reporting.

The purpose is to help companies understand:

which relevant HR data is available in BitaBIZ,
how this data can be used as documentation for social issues (S1),
and which key figures are in development as part of our ongoing updates.

Many companies use BitaBIZ as their primary source for documenting work hours, flexibility, leave, and vacation—areas directly linked to the ESRS standard requirements for reporting on employee working conditions, well-being, and absence levels.

In the tables below, you’ll find:

The CSR key figures BitaBIZ can deliver out-of-the-box

Which reports the data comes from in the BitaBIZ report library

This article is designed as a practical tool for:

CSR and sustainability teams
HR departments
Auditors and controllers

The goal is to make it easy for you to see how BitaBIZ supports your company’s documentation of social issues—and where BitaBIZ can be expanded with additional key figures in the future.
