With the entry into force of the EU Directive on corporate sustainability reporting, public companies must disclose non-financial information, integrating ESG (environmental, social, governance) indicators into accounting and reporting. This requires adapting systems to ESG principles, classifying related costs, and ensuring transparency. The study analyzes EU directives, ESRS, and the NFRD (2014–2024), using comparative and structural methods. Results show the emergence of sustainable accounting, combining financial and non-financial reporting. ESG costs are grouped into environmental, social, and governance categories, enabling measurement of contributions to sustainability goals. Findings highlight the link between CSR and accounting trends, as well as the practical impact of EU regulations on sustainable reporting.
