A major financial institution in Belgium is completing the evaluation and aftercare of its 2025 Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) submission while preparing the 2026 annual report. Within the finance function, the Senior Business Analyst CSRD will turn European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) requirements into data-gap analysis for regulatory reporting, stakeholder governance and a delivery roadmap, with MS Office and Excel central to the work.
The mission
