What is changing in sustainability?
The latest developments in EU and Turkish regulation, reporting standards and ESG ratings. Scout updates this section every week.
Last updated: 5 November 2026EFRAG updates the digital template for the voluntary SME standard
On 4 November 2026 EFRAG released an updated Voluntary Standard (VSME) Digital Template, XBRL taxonomy and converter; the tools are open source and available in 11 languages. The new version supports comparative reporting against the previous period and Word files for narrative disclosures. SMEs asked for sustainability data by EU customers can use the template as a common response format.
Source →EU Taxonomy reporting: simplification advice sent to the Commission
On 29 October 2026 ESMA and the EBA sent their final technical advice on EU Taxonomy disclosures to the European Commission; ESMA recommends limiting the mandatory OpEx KPI to non-capitalised R&D expenditure and removing the weighted-average KPI in group reporting. The EBA also proposed simplifying the Green Asset Ratio templates for banks. The Commission will consider the advice in its review of the rules; Taxonomy data requests to SMEs financed by EU banks may become simpler over time.
Source →CBAM downstream extension: no deal at first trilogue
The European Parliament and Council held the first trilogue on extending CBAM to downstream steel and aluminium goods on 20 October 2026; according to press reports, there was no overall agreement and four issues remain open: the 50-tonne de minimis threshold for aluminium, scrap, online platforms and default values. A second round is reported for 30 November 2026, and the proposed application date is 1 January 2028. SMEs exporting steel or aluminium parts and finished goods should follow the final product list.
Source →KGK extends TSRS transition reliefs for 2026 reports
Under a KGK decision published in the Official Gazette on 22 October 2026, all entities may publish their 2026 sustainability reports after their financial statements. Companies that started with climate-related (TSRS 2) disclosures only can continue to do so in 2026 and may also omit comparative information on non-climate topics in their 2027 reports. SMEs supplying data to customers covered by TSRS should know the timeline has eased, but data requests continue.
Source →ISSB proposes nature-related disclosures
On 22 October 2026 the ISSB published an exposure draft of a Practice Statement on how companies can report nature-related risks and opportunities arising from their dependencies and impacts on nature; it draws heavily on TNFD’s work and is not mandatory. Comments are open until 19 February 2027. SMEs that depend on water, land or raw materials should expect more nature-related data requests from large customers.
Source →Türkiye ETS market regulation published: EPİAŞ to operate the market
EPDK’s regulation on operating the Türkiye Emissions Trading System market was published in the Official Gazette on 21 October 2026, naming EPİAŞ as market operator. Allowances will be distributed by auction in the primary market and can be traded in secondary markets; one lot equals 100 allowances. SMEs working with large installations covered by the ETS should follow this market, where the carbon price will be set.
Source →Draft ESRS for non-EU companies: consultation closed
Non-EU companies with more than €450 million EU turnover and an EU subsidiary or branch with more than €200 million turnover will report impacts under CSRD using the draft ESRS-40a; EFRAG’s consultation on the draft closed on 31 October. On 19 October GRI said its Standards fully or partly cover 97% of the draft’s disclosure requirements. SMEs supplying these large groups can expect more GRI-aligned data requests.
Source →EcoVadis: targets now need a baseline year
From 14 October 2026, EcoVadis requires quantitative targets in newly submitted questionnaires to state a baseline year; targets without one are rejected and do not count toward the Policy score. Eleven new standardised reporting metrics were added on the same date. SMEs preparing for an EcoVadis assessment should document each target with its baseline year, target year and value.
Source →Türkiye ETS: monitoring plan deadline extended to 27 January 2027
The Climate Change Presidency extended the deadline for installations in the ETS pilot phase to submit their first Monitoring Methodology Plans from 27 October 2026 to 27 January 2027. The pilot covers installations above 50,000 tCO₂e a year; 2026 emissions are reported and pricing starts in 2027. SMEs supplying these installations can use the extra time to prepare their data systems.
Source →CBAM: Q3 certificate price set at €82.32
The European Commission set the CBAM certificate price for goods imported into the EU in the third quarter of 2026 at €82.32 per tonne of CO₂, up from €75.28 in the second quarter. Certificates can be purchased from February 2027. Exporters of steel, aluminium, cement and fertiliser should expect EU buyers to factor this cost into price negotiations.

What’s on your mind today?
Pick one and Scout will tell you where to start.
Our customers and banks are asking for sustainability data.
We’ll bring your energy, water, waste and people data into one framework so you’re ready for the questions customers and banks ask. From there, a standards-aligned report is a short step.
Let’s talk it throughWe don’t know where to start.
Together with your stakeholders, we’ll identify the topics that really matter to you and turn them into measurable targets and a simple roadmap.
Let’s talk it throughWe struggle to communicate what we already do.
We’ll turn what you already do into consistent, data-backed messages and share them through interactive reports and digital content.
Let’s talk it throughWe need to comply with new regulations.
We’ll clarify whether TSRS applies to you and, if you export, how EU regulations affect you, then build a compliance timeline.
Let’s talk it throughFrom the first call to a published report.
- Intro callIn a 30-minute call we listen to your needs and priorities.
- AnalysisWe map your existing data, stakeholder expectations and regulatory requirements.
- StrategyWe define priority topics, targets and measurable indicators.
- Report and communicateWe report the results to standard and tell your stakeholders about them.
No sustainability team? No problem. We set the process up around your capacity and build your team’s skills step by step.
The questions Scout hears most.
We don’t have a sustainability department. Can we still start?
Yes. Most of the companies we work with don’t have a separate team. We plan the process around your team’s capacity and support you through data collection and reporting.
Is TSRS mandatory for us?
Under the Public Oversight Authority (KGK) decision of 13 January 2026, for periods from 2025 onwards banks must report regardless of size, and the other entities listed in the decision must publish a TSRS report if they exceed at least two of these three thresholds for two consecutive years: TRY 1 billion in total assets, TRY 2 billion in annual net sales and 500 employees. Even if you’re out of scope, large customers, banks and export markets may still ask you for data. We’ll clarify your position together in the first call.
How long does a sustainability report take?
It depends on the scope, how ready your data is and the type of report. After the first call we share a tailored timeline and work plan.
Which sectors do you work with?
We work across sectors, especially with SMEs that don’t have their own sustainability team. Every project starts with an analysis of the key topics, regulations and stakeholder expectations in your sector.
Who is Scout?
