アイスランドの主要10社のサステナビリティ報告書分析とインタビューを通じて、企業統治関連の開示がESRS最低要件の20-30%しか満たしていないことを発見。取締役会やコンサルタントのESRS知識不足、コミュニケーション構造の弱さ、リソース制約が主な課題。2025年オムニバス法の変更もコンプライアンスを複雑化し、企業はトレーニングや内部ガバナンス強化が急務であると提言。
English
Based on document analysis of sustainability reports from ten leading Icelandic firms and interviews with company representatives, this study finds that current governance disclosures cover only 20-30% of ESRS minimum requirements. Key challenges include limited ESRS knowledge among board members and consultants, weak communication structures, insufficient metrics, and resource constraints. The 2025 Omnibus Act further complicates compliance, urging firms to invest in training and robust reporting frameworks.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
この研究は欧州のCSRD/ESRSに焦点を当てており、日本のSSBJや有報でのガバナンス開示とは直接関係しないが、日本の企業が国際的なサステナビリティ報告基準（特にESRS）に対応する際の参考になる可能性がある。ただし、アイスランド固有の事情が反映されていることに注意。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a detailed case study of governance disclosure gaps under the EU's CSRD/ESRS framework. While Iceland is a small economy, its challenges mirror those many firms face globally in meeting new sustainability reporting mandates. The findings emphasize the need for board-level engagement and internal reporting infrastructure, which are directly relevant to practitioners in jurisdictions adopting similar standards (e.g., ISSB, SEC).
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides an empirical benchmark on ESRS governance disclosure compliance levels and identifies common implementation barriers.
🏢実務担当者:Highlights specific areas (e.g., board training, metrics development) where companies need to invest to meet ESRS requirements.
🏛政策担当者:Offers evidence on the practical challenges of implementing EU sustainability reporting standards, useful for regulators designing transition support.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study examines how Icelandic companies disclose sustainability-related governance practices and evaluates the impact of the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) (European Commission, 2025) on future disclosure practices. Building on Claessen’s (2023) approach and using qualitative methodology, the research combines document analysis of sustainability reports from ten leading Icelandic firms with semi-structured interviews with company representatives. The study finds that current governance disclosures cover only 20–30 percent of ESRS minimum requirements. Key challenges include limited knowledge of ESRS among board members and consultants, weak communication structures, insufficient metrics and verification procedures, and resource constraints. The recent changes introduced by the 2025 Omnibus Act (European Council, 2025) further complicate compliance, intensifying the urgency for firms to adapt. The findings underscore the need for Icelandic companies to invest in training, enhance internal governance systems, and build robust reporting frameworks to meet regulatory demands. Without such efforts, companies risk legal and reputational repercussions. This research provides timely, country-specific insights into governance disclosure gaps and offers practical recommendations for aligning with the European Union’s (EU’s) evolving sustainability reporting landscape.
