Sustainability Services

Sustainable corporate governance and non-financial indicators are increasingly coming into focus across all industries. Companies are confronted with more and more legal requirements on sustainability: There is, for example, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU taxonomy, disclosure regulations and the Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains. In addition, environmental disasters and a global pandemic are attracting widespread public attention. As a result, the regulatory and social pressure on companies in terms of sustainable corporate governance has never been bigger.

The European Union has embarked on a profound transformation of the financial market and the real economy with the 2018 Sustainable Finance Action Plan and the 2019 EU Green Deal. The capital market's growing understanding that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues impact financial metrics and ultimately company value is increasing investor demand for reliable and comparable disclosures. And companies risk no less than their licence-to-operate if they fail to meet their environmental and social responsibilities.

 

Why ESG?

ESG stands for a multitude of topics which - depending on the business model - can be of essential importance for the sustainability of a company.

Reasons for establishing sustainability management

It is not only external factors, such as legal regulations or societal requirements, that increase the pressure on companies to deal with the issue of sustainability. The company's own interest in making itself fit and resilient for the future should also be the impetus for establishing efficient and, above all, holistic sustainability management. The goal must be to establish sustainable business practices in all areas of the company in the long term.

Getting there is a development process that requires constant monitoring and evaluation of the sustainability programme - even once a programme has been developed. But the journey is worthwhile and the benefits are obvious:

  • Improvement of the company's image and brand value - thereby strengthening customer loyalty
  • Increased attractiveness as an employer
  • Improving financial performance
  • Developing an innovative vision for the company by identifying non-financial factors
  • Improving access to credit and the ability to attract investment
  • Identification, monitoring and appropriate management of non-financial risks
  • Systematically reporting on the link between strategy and financial performance, including the impact of ESG factors
  • Improving data quality for more effective information management and decision making
