Digital tagging (XBRL Taxonomy)

An important part of modern standard setting includes digital tagging also known as the creation of XBRL taxonomy. As per the CSRD, a digital taxonomy is necessary to allow the reported information to be tagged in accordance with ESRS. The XBRL taxonomy will complement the creation of a European single access point (ESAP) for public corporate.

DG FISMA asked EFRAG in a letter dated 18 October 2022 to develop the draft XBRL taxonomy for:

  • ESRS as adopted by delegated act and
  • Art 8 of the EC Taxonomy Regulation.

EFRAG will also prepare an XBRL taxonomy for the LSME ESRS as required by CSRD. However, this will commence at a later stage when the draft LSME ESRS has been submitted to the European Commission (expected mid-November 2024).
