Carbon Accounting for Irish Businesses
Get audit-ready sustainability data — built for CSRD, designed for Irish SMEs.
Irish businesses now need audit-ready carbon data.
The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has been transposed into Irish law. Large Irish companies are already in scope — and the pressure is moving down the supply chain to SMEs. If your clients are subject to CSRD, they need your Scope 3 data.
Irish SMEs outside mandatory CSRD scope can report using the VSME voluntary standard, GreenKPO supports both frameworks. See how LSL Auctions produced their first audit-ready report in under a week.
GreenKPO is built for exactly this moment: a practical, fast-to-deploy carbon accounting platform that turns your business data into a compliant, audit-ready emissions report.
Irish regulatory context
CSRD in Ireland
Ireland transposed CSRD via the European Union (Corporate Sustainability Reporting) Regulations 2024, which came into force in July 2024. Key compliance notes for Irish businesses:
CSRD transposed into Irish law

Wave 1 — already reporting
Large Irish companies subject to the NFRD began reporting on FY2024 data in 2025.
Wave 2 — next in scope
Large Irish companies (>250 employees or >€50M turnover) are being phased in, subject to Omnibus I 'Stop the Clock' revisions.
Omnibus I impact
The Omnibus I Directive in 2025 narrowed mandatory CSRD to companies with >1,000 employees and >€450M turnover. Voluntary reporting remains critical for supply chain compliance.
Scope 3 supply chain pressure
Even if you are not directly in scope, your large clients need your emissions data to complete their own Scope 3 reporting under ESRS E1.
VSME standard
For SMEs outside mandatory scope, the Voluntary Standard for non-listed SMEs (VSME) is emerging as the reference framework — GreenKPO supports it.

Act now
Why Irish SMEs should act now
Even with Omnibus I narrowing the mandatory CSRD scope, the pressure on Irish SMEs is real and increasing:
Large clients subject to CSRD are already requesting Scope 3 data from their Irish suppliers.
Accounting and audit firms are advising clients to build carbon measurement infrastructure before it becomes urgent.
ESG credentials are increasingly a tender and procurement requirement.
Investors apply a premium to companies with credible sustainability records — BDO Ireland, Deloitte and others have cited the 10% investor premium for strong ESG performance.
Starting early gives you clean historical data when regulation expands again.
