Cyprus businesses and CSRD: Key deadlines overview
20 Oct 2025
|
Cyprus has transposed the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) into national law, marking a significant step towards enhanced corporate transparency and sustainability. The amendments to the Companies Law, among others, were published in the Official Gazette on 29 July 2025.
The implementation of the CSRD introduces staggered compliance dates for the different categories of companies to report information necessary to understand their sustainability impact, as well as their development, performance and position.
The timeline for reporting is structured as follows:
- For the financial year commencing on 1 January 2025: Reporting requirements will first apply to large-sized and public-interest entities already subject to the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD).
- For the financial year commencing on 1 January 2027: The scope expands to include all other large-sized companies and parent companies of large groups that were not previously covered.
- For the financial year commencing on 1 January 2028: The final date brings Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), small and non-complex institutions and designated insurance and reinsurance undertakings, listed on regulated markets into the reporting framework.
