The assignment

The annual report of EBN as a public organisation, policy participation and company must meet a large number of requirements. For a number of years now, we have been using external support in the realization of this, also in view of the limited size of the organization. We will continue to need this in the coming years, also in view of the fact that the CSRD and ESRS require companies, including EBN, to report extensively on their impact on people, the environment and society. EBN is obliged to report on the 2025 annual report in line with the new standard, the ESRS. This means that major steps are already being taken to meet this requirement. In addition, EBN wants to be GRI 2021 compliant about the 2023 annual report, which also includes the necessary work for the upcoming annual report. As a result of these developments, support in various areas in the preparation of the annual report will continue to be necessary in the coming years.

In front of you is the request for quotation, belonging to the tender Support Services sustainability reporting GRI/CSRD of EBN B.V. By means of this request you are invited to submit a quotation for this.
