Doing is like having to, but more extreme

Sustainability measures that move you forward – regardless of the omnibus

"An omnibus (Latin omnibus 'all' or 'for all', dative plural of omnis), or bus for short, is a large road vehicle used to transport large numbers of people." That's the theory. But the proposed "Omnibus Regulation," which was intended to guide companies towards sustainability, unfortunately leaves something to be desired. Many companies prepared conscientiously and now have their suitcases packed – full of data and good ideas. They are in danger of not being conveyed at all. "What should we do?" is the crucial question. Standing still is definitely not an option, because many are already on the way. The time to act is now.

1. Climate Risk Analysis (including Scenario Analysis)

A climate risk analysis addresses the financial risks and opportunities arising from ongoing human-caused climate change on the one hand and the transition to a decarbonized economy on the other. These can result in financial losses (e. g., increased pricing of greenhouse gas emissions, higher costs for fossil raw materials, or supply chain disruptions due to severe weather) or gains that can arise from efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change (e. g., expansion of low-emission products and services, cost reduction through more efficient operating processes).

Even if your company is not required to report under CSRD, a climate risk analysis is still useful. Because the monetary losses resulting from not analyzing these risks and opportunities are always too high.

2. Strategy by collar size

Paper is patient, planetary boundaries are not! That's why it's worth moving forward – on your own, with the most important topics. A clear focus on where impact can be achieved and the active deprioritization of less relevant topics are important for orientation. Defining a strategic direction as a framework for existing or newly developed concepts, projects, and measures doesn't have to be rocket science.

Building on CSRD insights, with a sense of proportion and the appropriate scope, you can draw the right strategic conclusions that will provide the right launching pad for your sustainability measures. This way, you can identify value and innovation drivers and gain a clear overview of potential risks. If you wait too long for the bus, you might miss the connection.

3. Sustainability Governance and Sustainability Organization

Sustainability roadmaps may be as good as they come, but without clear responsibilities and processes, sustainability management remains inefficient, and even digital ESG data management won't help. Sustainability – this is a widespread expectation – should happen "somehow in passing." Often, there's a lack of overview of current and future sustainability-related market requirements. This increases the risk of missing market opportunities.

We support you in recognizing sustainability as an innovation and value driver and integrating it into corporate management – without unnecessary bureaucracy, with clear, understandable recommendations for action while maintaining regulatory certainty. This way, we help you not only conceptualize sustainability but also embed it sustainably within your company.
