How do the ESRS define stakeholders?
- A. Those who can support or benefit from the undertaking.
- B. Those who can influence or contribute to the undertaking.
- C. Those who can affect or be affected by the undertaking.
正解:C
解説:
According to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) under the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772, stakeholders are defined as individuals or groups who can affect or be affected by the undertaking. The ESRS distinguishes between two main groups of stakeholders:
* Affected stakeholders: These are individuals or groups whose interests are affected or could be affected - positively or negatively - by the undertaking's activities and its direct and indirect business relationships across its value chain.
* Users of sustainability statements: These include primary users of general-purpose financial reporting (e.g., existing and potential investors, lenders, and other creditors such as asset managers, credit institutions, and insurance undertakings) and other users, including the undertaking's business partners, trade unions, social partners, civil society and non-governmental organizations, governments, analysts, and academics.
Furthermore, engagement with affected stakeholders is a crucial aspect of the undertaking's ongoing due diligence process and sustainability materiality assessment. This involves identifying and assessing actual and potential negative impacts to inform the materiality assessment process for sustainability reporting.

質問 # 29
Indicate whether the following statement is true or false.
All EU Member States decided that only statutory financial auditors are allowed to conduct the assurance of the sustainability statement, excluding other audit firms or Independent Assurance Service Providers.
- A. False
- B. True
正解:A
解説:
Not all EU Member States have decided that only statutory financial auditors are allowed to conduct the assurance of the sustainability statement. TheCorporate Sustainability ReportingDirective (CSRD) mandates that sustainability reports beassuredby an external party, but it allows Member States to decide whether assurance engagements can be performed by firms other than statutory financial auditors.
* Limited Assurance Requirement:
* TheCSRD introduces a phased approachtoassurance, starting withlimited assuranceand transitioning toreasonable assuranceover time (expected by 2028).
* Initially,limited assuranceis required across all Member States.
* Flexibility for Member States:
* EU Member Stateshave discretionto allowother independent assurance service providersto conduct the sustainability assurance, in addition to statutory auditors.
* Some countries mayrestrictsustainability assurance to statutory auditors, butthis is not an EU- wide rule.
* Upcoming EU Assurance Standards:
* TheEuropean Commissionis working on developing acommon EU assurance standardfor sustainability reporting.
* TheCommittee of European Auditing Oversight Bodies (CEAOB)has issued non-binding guidelinesonlimited assurancefor sustainability reporting.
Key Provisions:Thus,the statement is falsebecausenot all EU Member States have restricted sustainability assurance to statutory financial auditors. Some allowother independent assurance providersto conduct the engagements.

Which of the following correctly fills the gaps in the paragraph below?
ESRS 2 IRO-1 mandates organizations to disclose their process to identify __________ and assess their materiality, including if and how consultation with __________ informed the outcome of the process.
Because most __________ arise from impacts, impact materiality is often the starting point for __________.
- A. financial materiality; affected stakeholders; impacts, risks, and opportunities; risks and opportunities.
- B. impacts, risks, and opportunities; affected stakeholders; risks and opportunities; financial materiality.
- C. affected stakeholders; impacts, risks, and opportunities; financial materiality; risks and opportunities.
正解:B
解説:
ESRS 2 IRO-1 requires organizations to disclose their process for identifyingimpacts, risks, and opportunitiesand assess theirmateriality. This includes detailing whether and howaffected stakeholders were consulted during the process. Sincerisks and opportunitiestypically stem fromimpacts, the process of impact materiality assessmentserves as a natural starting point before evaluating theirfinancial materiality.
* Identification of Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs):
* Organizations must disclose their methodology for identifying materialimpacts, risks, and opportunities.
* These include bothactual and potential impactson people and the environment, considering short-, medium-, and long-term horizons.
* Consultation with Affected Stakeholders:
* ESRS 2 IRO-1 requires disclosure of whether and how theconsultation with affected stakeholdersinfluenced the identification of material sustainability matters.
* Stakeholder engagement is crucial in determining the scope and severity of sustainability impacts.
* Role of Impact Materiality:
* Impact materiality assessmentprecedes the evaluation of risks and opportunities.
* Since mostrisks and opportunitiesoriginate fromimpacts, impact materiality serves as the starting pointfor assessing theirfinancial materiality.
* Financial Materiality Evaluation:
* Financial materiality pertains to the extent that a sustainability matteraffects the undertaking's financial position, performance, cash flows, or cost of capital.
* It evaluates whether an impact or risk could reasonably be expected to have amaterial financial effecton the organization.
* "Impacts, risks, and opportunities"correctly defines the scope of ESRS 2 IRO-1.
* "Affected stakeholders"are explicitly referenced as a crucial element in the disclosure process.
* "Risks and opportunities"emerge from sustainability impacts, making impact materiality the logical starting point.
* "Financial materiality"is the final step, determining the financial significance of sustainability risks and opportunities.
Why is B the Correct Answer?Thus, the correct sequence isB: impacts, risks, and opportunities; affected stakeholders; risks and opportunities; financial materiality.

質問 # 34
Indicate whether the following statement is true or false.
In the ESRS, impact materiality is considered the starting point for the double materiality assessment because material impacts may trigger financial risks and opportunities in the future.
- A. False
- B. True
正解:B
解説:
Impact materiality is indeed considered thestarting pointfor thedouble materiality assessmentin the ESRS.
The reason is that material impacts on sustainability matters cangenerate financial risks and opportunitiesin the future. TheESRS frameworkfollows this structure because:
* Interrelation Between Impact and Financial Materiality
* Double materiality includestwo dimensions:a)Impact materiality(how the company affects people and the environment).b)Financial materiality(how sustainability matters affect the company's financial performance).
* Impact materiality assessments oftenprecedefinancial materiality because many sustainability issues initially manifest asexternal environmental and social impactsbefore affecting the company'sfinancial results.
* Regulatory Confirmation of Impact as the Starting Point
* According toESRS 1, section 3.3, impact materiality is typically assessedfirst, unless afinancial risk or opportunity exists independentlyof an impact.
* A sustainability mattermay become financially materialover time due to regulatory changes, evolving market expectations, or direct financial consequences.
* Illustration of the Double Materiality Process
* Example: A company engaged inhigh carbon emissionsmight initially consider this animpact materiality issue(environmental harm). However,increased carbon pricing, regulatory changes, and shifting investor preferencescan latertransform this into a financial materiality issue.
Conclusion:Sinceimpact materiality serves as a precursorto financial materiality in most cases, the statement istrue.
