CSRD implementation: state of play

On 12 September 2025, the Dutch State Secretary for Justice and Security submitted a revised draft CSRD implementing decree to both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The draft decree has been amended to incorporate the CSRD-related provisions of the “Stop-the-Clock” Directive, which postpones the application of current CSRD requirements for the "second wave" and "third wave" of companies by two years, from financial year 2025 to financial year 2027. The Stop-the-Clock Directive needs to be implemented by 31 December 2025, while the CSRD itself should have been implemented already. For further background on the Stop-the-Clock Directive, see our April 2025 article and our flowchart.
