ESRS software: which standard, which datapoints, which platform
ESRS software holds the European Sustainability Reporting Standards’ datapoints, links each to its data and evidence, and produces the disclosures a CSRD reporter publishes.
16 vendors in this site’s registry mention ESRS on their own pages; this page lists them and helps you decide which of the three ESRS you need before you buy.
How a tool maps data to disclosures and tags is on ESRS reporting software.
Three standards
Which ESRS are you actually buying for?
A company in CSRD scope needs the revised set in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1563.
A supplier asked for data usually needs the voluntary standard in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1560, which is far smaller.
A non-EU group caught by Article 40a faces a third standard, still a draft: EFRAG’s ESRS-40a exposure draft.
Whether you are in scope at all is worked through on CSRD software.

From the list to three
How do you build an ESRS shortlist without buying the whole datapoint list?
Start with the vendors that mention ESRS, then tick what else the tool must do in the tool beside this text.
The test that matters most is filtering: EFRAG’s draft list counts 292 “shall” datapoints, and you report the ones your materiality assessment makes relevant.
A vendor that cannot filter to your material topics will make you manage the full list by hand.
Your long list · from vendors’ own pages, read 11 October 2026 and 30 September–1 October 2026
Start: vendors whose own pages mention ESRS (16). Tick what else the same tool must serve.

Two buyers, side by side
What does choosing look like for a reporter and its supplier?
Reporter G and supplier H are illustrations: an EU group in CSRD scope from FY2027, and a UK company it buys from.
G needs the revised ESRS, a double materiality assessment and a way to send value-chain requests.
H needs much less: what G may ask is capped by reference to the voluntary standard, under the Commission’s explanation.
The same vendor may serve both, through different modules; ask.

What should you ask in an ESRS demo?
Ask the vendor to name the ESRS set and the date it was loaded, then to filter the datapoints to one of your material topics.

Frequently asked
ESRS software, answered
What is ESRS software?
Software that holds the European Sustainability Reporting Standards’ datapoints, links each to its data and evidence, and produces the disclosures, increasingly with digital tags.
How a tool maps data to disclosures is on our ESRS reporting software page; this page is about choosing one.
Which software supports ESRS?
In this site’s registry, 16 vendors mention ESRS on their own pages, read 11 October 2026 and 30 September–1 October 2026, listed here alphabetically in their own words.
Many more claim CSRD, the directive the standards serve; see our CSRD software page.
Which ESRS does software need to support?
The revised ESRS in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1563, in force from 10 November 2026 and applying from FY2027.
A supplier may only need the voluntary standard in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1560, in force since 24 September 2026.
How many ESRS datapoints are there?
EFRAG’s draft datapoint list for the revised ESRS, published in August 2026, counts 292 “shall” datapoints.
A company reports those that its materiality assessment makes relevant, not all of them.
Is ESRS XBRL tagging mandatory?
Not yet.
EFRAG has released a draft taxonomy for the revised ESRS for consultation; tagging is not yet mandatory.
What is the best ESRS software?
This site has tested no product and names no best.
Choose the tool that names the ESRS set it implements, filters datapoints to your material topics and handles the voluntary standard for your suppliers.
What is ESRS-40a?
A draft standard EFRAG has proposed for non-EU groups caught by Article 40a of the Accounting Directive.
It is an exposure draft, not law; ask vendors whether and when they plan to support it.
Do UK companies use ESRS?
Only through an EU route, such as an EU subsidiary in scope or the Article 40a test.
EFRAG’s and the Commission’s decisions have no legal effect in the UK, where the UK SRS apply.
How much does ESRS software cost?
Most vendors quote rather than publish.
Prices usually rise with entities, topics and the value-chain module.
Can ESRS software also produce UK SRS?
Some vendors say so; tick UK SRS in the long-list tool on this page to keep only those whose own pages claim it.
UK SRS uses single materiality, so its view is narrower.
Who owns the data in ESRS software?
You do, with the vendor as processor under a written contract; for a UK company UK GDPR sets what it must include.
