Companies today are increasingly measured by how they contribute to sustainable development and how they fulfill their social responsibility. Does your current sustainability strategy meet the increased requirements? We can help you to find out - or to develop a suitable sustainability strategy for the first time in order to achieve specific sustainability goals. We provide you with holistic support to establish sustainability as an integral part of your core business in the long term and to create the necessary structures and processes.
Most companies are already implementing a wide range of measures that contribute to being socially, environmentally or corporately sustainable. The question is whether these activities are sufficient to adequately meet the sustainability requirements of your industry. We support you in creating transparency and deriving concrete steps on how to improve your company's sustainability performance.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) adopted by the EU Parliament in November 2022 represents a substantial expansion of the existing sustainability regulations, especially for corporate sustainability reporting. What may appear to be a challenge at first glance also presents an opportunity to reassess key sustainability issues in your company and drive them forward with a fresh perspective.
We help you with the pragmatic implementation of CSRD requirements and the efficient execution of the double materiality analysis. At the same time, we show you how you can efficiently develop your existing sustainability management independently of regulatory requirements.
The assessment of so-called double materiality is an important component in the development of your sustainability strategy. At the same time, by carrying out such an analysis, you are doing important preparatory work for new legal requirements that will arise as a result of the CSRD. We work with you to develop the key focus areas for your sustainability management and consider both the financial significance (financial materiality) and possible effects of your company on the environment and society (impact materiality). This ensures that you meet key compliance and reporting requirements (e.g. EU CSRD, GRI, DNK) and at the same time helps you to focus on the most relevant sustainability topics.
Through a comprehensive market and environment analysis as well as targeted benchmarking, we enable you to align your sustainability strategy in such a way that not only key stakeholder requirements are met, but business opportunities can be effectively realized through targeted market positioning.
In order to derive key requirements for your company as well as specific positioning options, we analyze your industry environment as well as the political framework conditions and the wishes of key internal and external stakeholders. In this way, we not only support the targeted formulation of sustainability goals and measures, but also strengthen your company's competitive position.
The goal and the origin of our consulting for over 15 yearshas been a holistic view of sustainability in all its dimensions. From this, we derive the appropriate questions for your strategy process: How is sustainability anchored in your business model? How does your view of sustainability fit in with your corporate strategy and values? On this basis, we work together to formulate a vision - this is aimed at integrating sustainability management into your company that is also realistically put into practice.
From the vision we then derive a mission statement: Here we clarify why your company is committed - and what the concrete steps are to get closer to the vision step by step. In this way, we together lay the foundations for the long-term integration of sustainability into your company.
How are the defined sustainability goals effectively achieved? How are the measures implemented? And who is responsible for this? We will answer these questions together with you. A strategy developed with us always includes the development of fields of action. By clearly assigning responsibilities and creating effective exchange formats, we not only successfully integrate sustainability into your core business and corporate structure, but also do so in the long term. We also define specific sustainability goals and work with you to derive the measures required to achieve them. Through effective target management, we ensure that you achieve the goals you have set.
A sustainability strategy unfolds its full effect when implementation is approached via clearly defined fields of action. By naming clear roles and responsibilities, sustainability becomes concrete and practical implementation can be planned.
We support you in the implementation of your sustainability strategy by assisting you with any uncertainties and queries from your company. Our competent contact persons will accompany you in the long term and are happy to offer you support.
Sustainability is a key benchmark for companies today. It is not just a passing trend, but sustainable development is increasingly expected or even assumed by companies. The integration of sustainability is therefore not only a response to the obvious requirements of environmental protection and global responsibility, but also a response to concrete expectations of society and political framework conditions that require a sustainability strategy.
The path to sustainability is undoubtedly a lengthy process that presents companies of all sizes with numerous challenges. Sustainable business often requires not only new sustainable products and processes, but also completely new business models and collaboration along the entire value chain. We accompany you on this path to sustainability. Because sustainability not only has an impact on our future development, but also ensures the long-term competitiveness of your company.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) adopted by the EU Parliament in November 2022 applies to all large companies and all companies listed on regulated markets in Europe that are also responsible for implementing reporting by their subsidiaries. With the right strategy, we ensure that you comply with your disclosure obligations, while at the same time using sustainability as an opportunity for your long-term corporate success.
All detailed information on CSRD can be found here.
At the beginning of every sustainability strategy, there is an assessment of the status quo on the topic of sustainability in your company. How is your sustainability management set up and how sustainably are you already operating compared to the competition? In addition, there are further in-depth analyses such as the materiality analysis according to CSRD. Before we start working on the concrete formulation of a sustainable strategy, we collect facts and identify key opportunities, risks and impacts in order to work out the most relevant sustainability issues for the company. We then define specific goals, areas of action, responsibilities and implementation strategies to establish sustainability in your company in the long term. We support you with implementation and are also at your side for internal and external communication in the long term.
