The Omnibus reform reshuffled the CSRD compliance pack from March 2026. CSR software centralises your ESG data, automates CSRD reporting and manages the carbon footprint of your company and your suppliers. Axiscope structures your CSR approach on a single platform , connected to your procurement management, to turn a regulatory constraint into a measurable competitive advantage with your stakeholders.
A centralised CSR software addresses four operational objectives. It collects and structures data on the company's environmental and social performance. It automates CSR reporting to comply with the regulations in force, including the CSRD directive. It makes it easier to communicate CSR results to stakeholders (investors, customers, employees). Finally, it optimises environmental performance by tracking and reducing carbon emissions. For a company subject to these obligations, managing CSR in isolated spreadsheets creates a risk of error and a heavy administrative burden that a dedicated platform removes.
These four objectives reflect the CSR challenges specific to each industrial company: building a credible corporate responsibility strategy , producing a reliable sustainability report and documenting every corrective action taken. Regularanalysis of environmental and social indicators allows a company to measure its performance over time rather than enduring an isolated annual reporting exercise.
The Omnibus directive came into force on 18 March 2026 and redefines the scope of CSRD compliance. The new thresholds cover only companies with more than 1,000 employees and more than 450 million euros of net turnover, cumulatively. The balance sheet criterion disappears. This reform cuts the number of companies directly subject to the CSRD in Europe by around 80%, leaving between 1,200 and 1,500 French companies according to early sector estimates (Council of the EU, February 2026).
One key mechanism now protects your value chain : large companies subject to the CSRD can no longer require suppliers with fewer than 1,000 employees to provide information beyond the VSME standard. For an organisation managing a supplier panel, this clarification simplifies data collection while maintaining the requirement for compliance. Member states have until 19 March 2027 to transpose the Omnibus into national law.
This reform does not exempt other companies from a voluntary CSR approach. A company that stays below the new thresholds still has every interest in structuring its service offering around a documented environmental and social policy, not least to meet the ESG requirements of its own clients. An internal CSR expert or an external consultant can support this preliminary analysis of the applicable regulatory scope.

Before choosing CSR software, define your scope: which entities are covered by the CSRD after the Omnibus, which standards apply to your sector and what your reporting needs are. A small company under the voluntary VSME does not have the same requirements as a company with more than 1,000 employees subject to the CSRD. Assess your current CSR maturity and the internal resources available to deploy a solution. This preliminary analysis of the scope determines the choice of a realistic CSR strategy and the concreteimpact you will be able to demonstrate to your stakeholders from the first year.
Compare features against your priorities: collection of data, multi-standard reporting, dashboards and action plans. One often underestimated criterion is ERP integration: the software must connect to your existing systems to automate collection with no double entry. Favour a SaaS platform hosted in France to guarantee GDPR compliance and speed of implementation. Also check the quality of theinterface your teams use day to day and the level of department support offered by the vendor at start-up.
Effective CSR software natively covers the main international standards applicable to your sector: CSRD/ESRS, VSME, ISO 26000, GRI, EcoVadis and CDP. Check that the vendor updates its modules with every regulatory change, including the simplification of the ESRS standards announced by the Omnibus. Partial compliance exposes your organisation to risk with supervisory authorities and with your clients.
Analyse total cost of ownership (licence, implementation, training) and set it against the expected gains: less time spent on reporting, lower risk of non-compliance, better quality of data. Most vendors, including Axiscope, offer a demo so you can assess the solution concretely before committing.
The market splits CSR tools into four families: carbon accounting software (measuring and reducing the CO2 footprint), ESG and sustainabilityreporting platforms, life cycle assessment and product carbon footprint tools, and decarbonisation software dedicated to managing net zero trajectories. A mature CSR strategy generally combines several of these building blocks within a single platform to avoid scattering data across siloed tools. It also covers the social side of non-financial performance, too often relegated behind theenvironmental side in carbon-specialised tools.
Measuring and reducing the CO2 footprint across scopes 1, 2 and 3, reported in tCO2e equivalents.
Multi-standard ESG and sustainability reporting platforms, oriented towards regulatory compliance.
Life cycle assessment and product carbon footprint tools for eco-design and sustainable marketing.
Software dedicated to managing net zero trajectories and sector reduction plans.

Beyond simple compliance, CSR software must make it possible to manage, analyse and showcase your sustainability initiatives. The table below summarises the essential features and what they concretely bring to your organisation, from collecting indicators through to multi-standard reporting.
This functional analysis distinguishes the critical building blocks (collection, dashboards, multi-standard reporting) from the essential ones that structure your approach over time (action plans, supplier CSR). A CSR team saves considerable time when these functions sit on a single platform rather than across scattered tools. Each user accesses the data and indicators relevant to their role, from the CSR manager steering the overall vision to the procurement director tracking the environmentalimpact of their supply chain.
Axiscope is a 100% cloud SaaS modular CSR platform designed for industrial companies and organisations with heavy purchasing activity. Each module (LCA, carbon footprint, ESG reporting, supplier risk management) connects to the others for a coherent view. The solution includes advancedanalysis of life cycle assessment and product carbon footprint measurement, to assess your environmental and social impacts precisely across the whole value chain. The key data (energy consumption, CO2 emissions, waste management) are collected automatically and centralised in a single environment. TheAxiscope Digital Sourcing & Procurement Platform therefore brings procurement management and the CSR approach together on one technological foundation.
The collaboration dimension is at the heart of Axiscope's design. Workflows bring together CSR, procurement, finance and QHSE staff to guarantee consistent data entry and traceability of approvals. Every client company benefits from the sectorexpertise of the Axiscope team to configure the indicators relevant to its activity and build a usable sustainability report from the first collection campaign.
Most CSR software on the market deals only with the internal performance of thecompany. Axiscope goes further by embedding supplier Risk management and the ESG performance of the whole supply chain within a unified approach . It is the only platform that combines SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) and CSR management on a single solution .
In practice, Axiscope makes it possible to evaluate your suppliers against defined ESG criteria (carbon footprint, social, governanceconditions) and to map the CSR risks in your supply chain. This analysis systematically covers the social socialimpact side (working conditions, diversity) at the same level as the environmental one, in line with the expectations of the internationalstandards. This feature directly addresses the French duty of vigilance (2017 law, companies with more than 5,000 employees) and fits within the VSME protection mechanism introduced by the Omnibus for your suppliers with fewer than 1,000 employees. For a procurement team , it is the most direct way to turn a social obligation and an environmental responsibility into an argument with your own clients.
This approach concretely reflects the corporate social responsibility commitment of an company beyond its own perimeter. It extends a sustainable development approach to the players that make up its value chain, an issue increasingly scrutinised by investors and clients during external growth operations.
A mid-sized manufacturing company in France, specialising in electronic components, wanted to improve its CSR strategy to better meet regulatory requirements and its customers' sustainability expectations. It faced significant challenges in collecting reliable environmental data and communicating its efforts transparently.
The company chose Axiscope for its ability to integrate environmental and social data from multiple sources and for its advanced reporting features. Axiscope was implemented to track and analyse the key performance indicators linked to energy consumption, CO2 emissions and waste management. Through Axiscope, the company achieved automation of environmental data collection and reporting, reducing the time spent on these tasks by 70% , improved data accuracy that strengthened the confidence of stakeholders and stronger compliance with CSR and ESG standards. The sustainability report produced each year now serves as the basis for the corrective actions taken by the teams, within a responsible management approach owned by the executive. This continuous action feeds a documented, verifiable sustainability development trajectory, a signal valued by investors and clients alike.
"Adopting Axiscope has transformed our approach to CSR. We can now provide accurate, up-to-date data to our stakeholders, strengthening our credibility and supporting our business objectives. This tool is essential in helping us reach our sustainability goals."

The timescale depends on scope: a few weeks for a targeted CSR module (CSRD reporting, carbon footprint), several months for a multi-module deployment including supplier Risk management management. Axiscope supports every organisation with a progressive deployment plan , module by module, to limit the implementation workload and manage change with the teams.
ROI is measured on three axes: time saved on collection and reporting (up to 70% according to Axiscope customer feedback), the reduction in CSRD non-compliance risk and the improved quality of the data passed to stakeholders. A demo on your own data remains the best indicator.
Axiscope is designed for adoption without heavy technical training: the intuitiveinterface lets a CSR, procurement or finance team contribute directly. Support is offered at start-up to frame the applicable standards and configure the dashboards.
The price depends on the functional scope chosen (CSR, SRM, CSRD reporting modules) and the number of users. Axiscope offers a supported trial and a free demo on your own data so you can assess the solution before any contractual commitment. This upfront analysis lets you measure the expectedimpact on your organisation before signing.
A generalist solution covers the company's internal performance but leaves supplier supplier CSRaside. Axiscope stands apart by combining SRM management and the CSR approach on a single platform, an advantage for any organisation whose carbon footprint is concentrated in the supply chain (scope 3) and whose social side of non-financial performance depends directly on supplier behaviour.
Yes. Axiscope updates its reporting modules as regulations evolve, including the Omnibus reform and the simplification of the ESRS standards . The platform supports the VSME standard for suppliers with fewer than 1,000 employees, in line with the value chain protection mechanism introduced in 2026. This continuous compliance limits theimpact of a regulatory change on your sustainability trajectory and on the social side of your reporting.
