CSRD and ESRS: How will your business be affected? 🤓 With the EU’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), carbon data becomes a crucial reporting element for companies.  Phasing in from 2024, affected companies will now have to report against the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.    Learn whether your company has a CSRD obligation and what you need to consider for your non-financial reporting.    Download our e-book now  👇 English: https://lnkd.in/diFA9wQU   German: https://lnkd.in/dS9xvcJR #CSRD #ESRS #climateaction #ClimatePartner

What are scope 4 emissions? 🤔 While scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are widely understood, scope 4 remains lesser-known. Let's shed some light on it! 💡    Scope 4 emissions, often referred to as avoided emissions, are indirect emissions of a company. The decisive factor for scope 4 is the use of a more efficient product or service by a third party.  For example, if end-users use a low-temperature laundry detergent, instead of a product that requires higher temperatures and therefore more energy, they save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These emission savings could be reported under the washing machine manufacturer's scope 4.    Learn more about scope 4 emissions in our climate action glossary 👇 English: https://lnkd.in/dCAfTziQ  German: https://lnkd.in/dkz9XQXr #scope4 #climateaction #ClimatePartner  

20 years of corporate climate action: Let’s celebrate! 🍾 ClimatePartner had reason to celebrate last month: May marked 20 years since the founding of Sustainable Partner, the parent company of ClimatePartner GmbH. Back in 2004, still 14 years before Greta Thunberg would be sitting outside the Riksdagshuset, our founder Moritz Lehmkuhl recognised the great importance of companies being able to contribute to climate action. Since then, a lot has changed, but we have maintained our focus on helping companies throughout their climate action journeys.    Read more about where ClimatePartner came from and what the future holds in our latest climate action insight. 👇 English:  https://lnkd.in/djp68jnX German: https://lnkd.in/ddxDHdh6 #anniversary #climateaction #ClimatePartner

Biological diversity is much more than “nice to have”. Our planet depends on healthy ecosystems, and we must protect its natural wealth. 🌱🌍 Did you know that peatland areas are precious habitats for rare species? Butterflies 🦋, carnivorous plants 🌿 and even owls 🦉 find shelter in these areas, which are also some of Earth’s most significant carbon sinks. The photos below are from one of the nature conservation projects in our portfolio. With the help of our project partner green account and the contributions of our clients, five hectares of peatland is being rewet in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany to restore and conserve biodiversity in the region. Today, on the International Day for Biodiversity, let’s remember to cherish and repair our ecosystems! 💚 Find out how to contribute: https://loom.ly/b5qbvlQ #partoftheplan #fornature #BiodiversityDay #climateaction #ClimatePartner

ClimatePartner has endorsed the Principles for Responsible Carbon Finance in Clean Cooking! 🎉    Last week, at the Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa, governments and organisations met to discuss progress on making clean cooking accessible for everyone.    Nearly 80% of African households still rely on open fires and traditional stoves to cook their meals. 🔥 In addition to the environmental cost of wood burning, indoor smoke pollution has severe health consequences, especially for women and children who spend more time in the home. We are one of over 100 organisations to have endorsed the Principles, which have already undergone extensive public review led by the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA). The Principles focus on integrity, transparency, fairness, and sustainability, in order to build trust and incentivise much-needed investment in improved cookstove projects. 💪   Are you interested in supporting one of these projects? Find out more about two of our improved cookstove projects, developed by BURN and TASC 👇   Somalia: https://lnkd.in/dSTQ3Yvr Zambia: https://lnkd.in/dEp7jvCS   #climatefinance #cleancooking #climateaction #ClimatePartner
