Becoming a Certified CSRD Implementation Manager
With her 20+ years of experience working in CSR, Elise Vonk knew that the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) would be a turning point in her career. In 2019, while working with a finance professor at a local university, Elise was introduced to the idea of CSRD. Through her work with ISO 26000, Elise was familiar with the idea of uniting business departments like marketing, governance, operations, and finance for the goal of making an impact as a business. However, she had never worked with a mandatory sustainability reporting framework like CSRD.

Applying Her Knowledge
Elise now works as a CSRD implementation consultant to help companies implement ESG practices. Her clients were intimidated by the complexity and nuances of CSRD and felt that their current staff lacked the skills necessary for compliance. Now, after participating in the course, Elise can assist her clients with CSRD by making it simple and providing guidance. More specifically, she has created gap analyses, explained ESRS, and assessed competitive advantages for her CSRD clients. Elise’s experience in the Implementation Manager Program prepared her for these opportunities.
What advice would you give to someone considering this training program?
“Just do it! I trust Move to Impact as an organization, and this program was very helpful. Between the flexible online course, the in-person sessions, and the overall support, it is a need for anyone who works with CSRD.”
The CSRD Implementation Manager Experience
Elise had worked with Move to Impact on other projects prior to joining the CSRD Implementation Manager Program, and trusted their knowledge and commitment to clients. She had a basic knowledge of CSRD from writing her book Impactful Entrepreneurship, but knew she needed to step up her game. For Elise, the CSRD Implementation Manager Program was the perfect fit.
Helpful Dynamic Course Structure
Elise valued the program’s dual learning approach. Between sessions, the online self-study allowed her to learn about CSRD around her busy schedule. At the same time, she found the in–person sessions to be very helpful, and that the support she gained from these moments made all the difference.
Comprehensive Understanding
The training included everything Elise needed to know to work with CSRD. The course covered everything from big picture information about the future and impacts of CSRD, to detailed outlines of steps for compliance. The expert advice, step-by-step walkthroughs, case training, and organizational application were all contributors to her deepened understanding.
Confidence in Learned Skills
Before attending the program, Elise felt that her lack of data expertise could lead to problems when working with CSRD. After practice with measuring and reporting, and outlines of the 12 ESRS and their data points, she felt well equipped to implement CSRD independently.
Positive Overall Experience
Elise described the program as “intense, but fun”. CSRD as a topic is quite detailed, so the course reflects the detail and rigor of the content. However, she couldn’t help but be excited for what was to come. From week to week, she eagerly awaited the next session. Both the instructors and other participants created such a supportive and engaging environment that helped Elise flourish.
