The EU-Taxonomy Regulation introduced a classification system for the environmental sustainability of economic activities. Companies that are obliged to the NFRD must report in form of KPIs on the extent to which their economic activities meet the criteria of the EU-Taxonomy in the scope of their non-financial reporting. We offer a wide range of consulting services on all aspects of the EU-Taxonomy and support your company in the implementation of the reporting requirements, the proof and collection of technical criteria and the improvement of reporting processes.

If you are aiming to raise funds on the capital market in order to implement projects – for instance using green bonds or promissory notes – we can help you to set up a green financing framework, and support you with project evaluation and impact reporting.

Do you want to provide information on your operations by means of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)? We can offer assistance with implementing the necessary structures within your business, and completing the CDP questionnaire.

Established by the Financial Stability Board, the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) is committed to supporting the disclosure of information related to climate change. The evaluation framework that has been put in place has not only contributed to improved understanding of material risks connected with climate change; it also enables market participants to assess opportunities and threats resulting from a changing climate. Make the most of our expertise to help you implement TCFD reporting systems.

Science Based Targets is an initiative launched by CDP, WRI, UN Global Compact and WWF, with a view to defining corporate sustainability goals in a way which makes it possible to achieve the widely publicised target of limiting global warming to below 1,5°C. When it comes to drawing up and submitting corresponding sustainability targets, we can provide all the assistance you need.

SRI has become a cultural phenomenon. This investment strategy takes account of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in order to generate competitive, long-term returns and have a positive impact on society. According to the US Sustainable, Responsible and Impact Investing Trends report published by the US SIF Foundation, one in five US dollars under professional management – a total of USD 8.72 trillion or more – is invested in line with SRI strategies. Just as there is no single approach to SRI, there is no single term used to describe it. Depending on their particular focus, investors use labels such as community investing, ethical investing, green investing and impact investing.

Sustainable finance is a relatively new topic. But it is definitely here to stay. Investors are increasingly asking questions that go beyond traditional financial indicators – the focus is turning more and more towards sustainability-related subjects and matters connected with climate change. Well-trained employees are vital for a company’s success. We offer bespoke training for your employees on topics linked with sustainable finance and sustainable investing.

Do you want to measure your company’s environmental and social impact in monetary terms? The Natural & Social Capital Protocol provides a standardised international framework that enables you to do precisely that. The framework allows organisations to identify, measure and evaluate their direct and indirect impact on natural capital. There is also the option of assessing your social and human capital. Evaluating these factors in financial terms produces a comparative figure, as well as making the effects tangible and manageable for managers. Please contact us if you would like us to perform a natural capital or social capital assessment. The information obtained can be used to support sustainable finance plans further down the line. Improvements can be measured over time, providing high-quality data for instruments such as Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)-linked bonds. The assessment covers CO₂-related effects, as well as other environmental (e.g. biodiversity) or social impacts.

We work closely with you to develop the right investment strategy that enables you to structure your portfolio sustainably. We identify and define key criteria, and help you to set up the necessary internal implementation and execution processes.

Portfolios consist of various different investments. Many of them promote sustainable development (such as investments in renewable energy), but others have the opposite effect (these include investments in the gambling, nuclear energy or coal industry). After analysing the current status of your portfolio, we draw up a strategy aimed at giving your portfolio a more sustainable structure.

We calculate the CO₂ emissions caused by your investment portfolio and then go on to develop suitable strategies designed to reduce your carbon footprint.
