INTEGRATING ESG INTO THE DNA
Holistic yet pragmatic —
Creating sustainability together
Sustainability is now one of the key factors for long-term business success. A holistic management of ESG factors (Environmental, Social, Governance) is essential in this context.
Together with our sister company VERSO, we support corporate clients from a wide range of industries in the successful (further) development of their ESG activities. From analyzing the ESG status (gap analysis) and conducting a Double Materiality Analysis (DMA), to developing a company-wide sustainability strategy and creating an action-based ESG roadmap, known as ESG management. The appropriate and legally compliant non-financial performance indicators are always at the core of our approach.
With our extensive and long-standing experience in corporate reporting, we also offer a comprehensive and practical approach to communication—whether in management or sustainability reports. Our passionate experts craft and develop engaging ESG reports and non-financial declarations that are a pleasure to read. For sustainability communication, we work in an integrated manner with our communications team to create compelling concepts that effectively and clearly convey the developed content.
We safely guide our corporate clients through the complex jungle of standards, legal requirements, guidelines, ESG ratings and other initiatives. Additionally, we provide advisory services for developing a climate strategy as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate and environmental accounting topics.
ESG Gap Analysis
Sustainability is a multifaceted topic, and companies often struggle to identify where to begin. Regulatory requirements make this even more challenging. We help businesses gain an initial overview, assess existing activities, identify gaps, and define a roadmap tailored to their sustainability journey.
ESG Strategy
We support our clients in developing or advancing their ESG strategies and successfully implementing them within their organisations. Conducting a Double Materiality Analysis, which is part of our IDW-certified approach, helps identify key sustainability topics and address them strategically. Clients' relevant stakeholders are closely involved throughout the process.
ESG Management and Processes
ESG strategies are just the starting point. ESG management focuses on operationalising these strategies by setting goals, defining actions, and establishing KPIs while ensuring accountability for these topics. This approach makes sustainability tangible and paves the way for future success.
ESG Reporting
Whether it’s the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UN Global Compact, Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), or the German Sustainability Code (DNK), we provide comprehensive support across all areas of sustainability work, including compliant reporting. We also help integrate financial and ESG reporting requirements, ensuring effective preparation for integrated reporting.
Technology Integration
We leverage a wide range of tools to benefit our clients. Together with our sister company VERSO, we also offer proprietary software solutions, such as our AI-powered tool for Double Materiality, our ESG Hub for streamlined data collection and reporting activities, or specialized solutions like the Climate Hub for climate-related topics and the Supply Chain Hub for effective supply chain management.
Additional ESG Topics
Sustainability work often involves engaging with all relevant stakeholders and effectively communicating key topics. We offer comprehensive support for stakeholder dialogue and related areas, such as developing Codes of Conduct, crafting policies, creating climate reduction plans, and more. Additionally, we help convey sustainability content to specific stakeholders through brochures, presentations or posters.
