17 essential documents to formalise your CSR approach

Updated on July 17, 2026

Originally published on April 17, 2026

Structuring a CSR approach means formalising documents — to demonstrate the seriousness of your approach, meet stakeholder expectations, and prepare for EcoVadis, CSRD, or any other CSR framework assessments.

But knowing which documents to produce, what they should contain, and how to make them compliant is another matter.

Inside the guide:

  • The 17 key documents for structuring your CSR approach, organised across 5 pillars: General, Environment, Social, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement
  • For each document: its role, what it should contain, and why it matters in an assessment context
  • The formal requirements to ensure your documents are accepted in an EcoVadis assessment or under the CSRD
  • A complete overview to identify what you already have — and what you still need to produce

This guide is for any CSR Manager, Chief Impact Officer, or executive looking to structure their CSR documentation without getting lost in complexity.

Download the guide and lay the foundations for a solid CSR documentation framework.
