- There is no official "CSRD logo" to display like a certification badge or label.
- The CSRD is a reporting directive, not a certification scheme with a visual mark.
- What proves compliance is the audited sustainability report itself, not a logo.
- Reports are also digitally tagged (XBRL) so machines can read them — the real "mark" of compliance.
Is there an official CSRD logo?
No. A common misconception is that the CSRD comes with a logo or badge to display, like some certifications. It does not: the CSRD is a European reporting directive, not a certification scheme.
What proves CSRD compliance instead
Compliance is demonstrated by the audited sustainability report integrated into the management report — not by a visual mark. The external auditor's conclusion is what gives the report its credibility.

Focus on a compliant, audited report rather than a badge
What you can communicate
Rather than a logo, companies communicate their compliance and results through the report itself, summaries and their ESG story. Building a reliable report with the right CSRD tooling is what earns stakeholder trust.
