Conducting ESRS Gap Analysis for Holland & Barrett
Situation
Holland & Barrett needed to identify reporting requirements, assess what is currently in place and whether it meets the requirements for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
Impact
Holland & Barrett now have an understanding of its readiness to report against the CSRD and make further progress on ESG as part of its business strategy.
Situation
Anthesis has been working with Holland & Barrett since 2022, providing a range of services across strategy and reporting, carbon footprint, packaging, and responsible sourcing. We have recently assessed Holland & Barrett’s readiness to report against the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This involved identifying reporting requirements, assessing what is currently in place and whether it meets requirements, and providing recommendations to close gaps in disclosure.
Solution
This project followed previous work with Holland & Barrett on strategy, through a materiality assessment to identify the most important sustainability-related topics for their business, and where the organisation should be concentrating its focus and strategy as a result.
Impact
Through this work, we were able to feed into the Holland & Barrett’s central strategy refresh, providing advice on how ESG and sustainability can act as a key enabler across its other business priorities, ensuring integration and accountability for ESG throughout the business.
