Directive published OJ EU 2026-02-26, in force 2026-03-18. Member-state transposition deadline 2027-03-19 (CSRD) / 2028-07-26 (CSDDD).
CSRD scope tightened: only companies with >1,000 emp AND >€450M turnover must file. Sharp TAM contraction at top, fresh voluntary surface for Mittelstand below.
Germany tracker last refreshed 2026-04-17 (Linklaters); no public bill text yet — 11 months remaining.
Sustainability Tools removed from RISE with SAP standard bundle as of July 2025; ESG and carbon accounting now require separate licensing for 2026 renewals.
Q1-2026 SAP Sustainability Footprint Management release notes published — focus on transport-emissions automation; no pricing announcement for Sustainability Manager itself.
Implication: every RISE customer in current renewal cycle now has explicit budget line for ESG/carbon — exactly the moment a vertically-focused alternative gets evaluated.
2026 = critical transition year for Wave 2 — large non-capital-market companies exceeding ≥2 of revised thresholds (incl. 250+ employees). First-wave (>1,000 emp.) reports land 2026 covering FY2025.
VSME standard now scalable for Mittelstand: Basic Module (micro) + Business Partner Module — banks require it for Green Loans, B2B customers require it for procurement. Demand vector at sub-CSRD scope.
No DATEV-specific ESG partner program details surfaced — likely informal positioning. Worth Hoebarth probing.
SOC 2 Type II audit in progress as of 2026-01-29 — closes a procurement gate for German enterprise + bank channels. Confirm current ETA with Hoebarth.
Multi-region production: EU + GCC environments live, data residency claimed.
No public April-2026 announcements (blog/launch) found. Hoebarth may have non-public release timing.
