Sustainability Payoff
Increasing awareness of climate change impact within societies have reached the investment industry. This new demand on sustainability forces “real-economy” companies to position themselves and to report on their progress towards minimizing their detrimental impact on the environment as well as on societies. As a consulting firm we offer both, strategic advice and hands on operational support to our clients.
ESG Sustainability Reporting
We help organizations to maneuver within the new requirements and craft initial ESG-reports, typically within a few weeks project and focused interactions with subject matter experts minimizing their precious time.
Since 2017, we work with the very pragmatic, though holistic approach of the German Sustainability Code, that is
- very pragmatic and focused in concentrating only on those aspects that are key to the reporting organization and its stakeholders
- compatible to regulatory requirements such as the EU Directive on Non-Financial Reporting, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), EU Taxonomy, and the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichten-Gesetz)
- Picks up core aspects from incumbent and widely accepted technical standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies (EFFAS)
- Complies with the reporting requirements being cascaded down to an increasing number of companies by size / revenue, starting 2023, within the next few years.
We are a fully recognized trainings partner of the German Sustainability Code and as such provide consulting, coaching and training both inhouse and open. Learn more
