Focus & Forecast

Concentrated. Specialised. Future-oriented.

Sustainability covers a wide range of different topics and tasks. Correspondingly, companies are confronted with interrelated challenges in the most diverse areas of their activities and diverse as well as ever new fields of action arise.

Although an integrated and comprehensive approach should not be lost sight of, focusing on specific topics can help to reduce complexities, concentrate on essential focal points and specifically overcome the biggest hurdles at present.

Do you want to promote climate protection in your company and implement requirements that are imposed on you, for example, by society, political framework conditions or customer enquiries? Do you face challenges such as determining and collecting relevant emission data, developing a targeted climate strategy or identifying and implementing suitable climate protection measures?

We give you an overview of carbon accounting methods such as the GHG Protocol and support you in the identification of relevant emission sources and the preparation of CO2 balances. 

We develop a climate protection strategy with you, derive targets and measures and accompany you on the way to a climate-neutral company.
In addition, we support you in identifying opportunities and risks arising from the climate crisis as well as adaptation to climate change and help you to take these into account in your business decisions.

 

You can take advantage of our services offered here as concentrated workshops, as accompanying coaching or as classic consulting services. Simply contact us for a tailor-made implementation! We are also happy to support you in this area with our CSR software ID-Report - with customised modules for climate management.

The consideration of one's own supply chain, especially in the context of human rights violations, is not only of great importance due to the direct or indirect impact of various (future) regulations, but also in the context of risk management and social responsibility.

Both surveys on the monitoring of the German National Action Plan for Business and Human Rights (NAP) have revealed that the NAP's requirements on human rights due diligence are not sufficiently fulfilled by companies. At the federal level, the Act on Corporate Due Diligence in the Supply Chain (Due Diligence Act; dt. Sorgfaltspflichtengesetz) has already been promulgated, at the EU level the Supply Chain Law is also taking shape and in other countries the Loi de vigilance (France), Wet Zorgplicht Kinderarbeid (Netherlands) or the Modern Slavery Act (UK) already exist, to name just a few of the existing regulations.

We are also happy to support you in this area with our CSR software ID-Report - with customised modules for your supply chain management.

The digital transformation is accelerating. The pressure on companies to implement sustainability in practice is also increasing. One possible way to unite these two forces is a genuine circular economy. This is essentially about keeping products, materials and services in use longer than before, increasing the productivity of the resources used and achieving optimal utilisation in the life cycle. We support you with our services to improve the identification, measurement and monitoring of your sustainability performance in the area of Circular Economy.

We support you in analysing your supply chain with regard to risks and in setting up structures for supply chain risk management (SCRM) in order to assess identified risks and manage them accordingly.
In addition, we help you to select suitable sustainability criteria in the supplier selection process and to evaluate your suppliers. 

Do you want to align your business activities more closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and report on them?

We help you to gain an overview not only of the 17 SDGs but also of the 169 sub-goals and to consider them in the context of your corporate activities. We support you in determining the relevance of the individual SDGs for your company, in incorporating them in the development of a sustainability strategy and sustainability goals. We also provide you with comprehensive support in integrating the SDGs into existing or yet-to-be-established sustainability communication such as CSR reporting.
