There is some truth to it to claim sustainability regulation creates a myriad of tick-the-box exercises. At fors.earth GmbH we take a strategic look at corporate sustainability wherever possible. Honestly, we are not immune to ticking the boxes as well when clients demand to ensure regulatory compliance. However, we strive for reducing the box-ticking, saving time and resources for the fun part in sustainability. That's why we decided to bring some of our developed tools to the community for free use and adaptation, especially for SMEs. The CSRD Gap Assistant, which I collaborated on with my colleagues at fors.earth GmbH, provides a low-tech solution, Excel-based tool, mainly for the aftermath of your CSRD materiality assessment. It breaks down all data points in the CSRD to binary factors (yes / no - decisions) allowing to step-by-step determining individual reporting obligations, identify data gaps and scope out your implementation roadmap for reporting against the #ESRS. Please contact me if you want to receive the file directly. I also encourage you to use, adapt and amend it and would be grateful for your feedback. #dma #materiality #csrd #efrag

🇩🇪 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰! 🚀 The extensive overhaul of Deutsche Bahn, the energy transition, the modernization of the education system, and the reinforcement of the Bundeswehr pose massive challenges to society, politics, and the economy. In the Anglo-Saxon sphere, these are referred to as "Herculean tasks"; endeavors that can only be tackled with the deployment of "super powers." The societal discourse in the media and political forums on these "Herculean tasks" is characterized - not entirely surprisingly - by German traits. An endless stream of smarty pants, highly qualified in critical thinking, dominate the public discussion and tends to paint bleak pictures of the future (or simply nitpicks around). Risks & negativity coupled with perceived failures take center stage. Opportunities give way to respective ideologies or the infamous "German angst." The urgently needed societal consensus for a successful, gradual implementation of each transformation is drifting further away! However, we must begin the transformation now! "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." — Lao Tzu The massive change may overwhelm individuals and groups. Much needed collaboration across political and ideological boundaries is being resented. Who will articulate the vision and the opportunities that arise from a successful transformation!? Our politicians evidently cannot get this job done. Where are unbiased Leaders & Thinkers who can engage and inspire GenZs, Baby Boomers, and every generation in between!? Leadership is the need of the hour, devoid of authoritarian power fantasies or hippie romanticism! The future starts now! Time to overcome German timidity and anxiety.

Double materiality- CSRD✅ Yes absolutely a double materiality assessment is a challenge 💪🏻 and will require resources, time and therefore an investment. But it also will give your organisation a clear picture 🏞️on their environmental and social impacts and risks (inside out) and financial opportunities (outside in). Taken seriously this assessment in combination with a clear strategy can give you perspective, future oriented purpose into a sustainable future.

As of today, KfW is offering subsidized loans (up to €25m) for manufacturers of strategic transformation technologies such as wind energy. This is a good development for the supply chain - until now, KfW has only supported the construction of offshore wind farms. #offshorewind #offshorewindindustry #supplychain

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is more than a regulatory hurdle; it's a catalyst for deep Business transformation. To navigate this new landscape successfully, companies need a strategic approach that goes beyond mere compliance and integrates sustainability reporting into their core business strategy, which involves some thinking about technology to collect Data, and internal skills to operate the system(s). Here's IMPACT LABS.earth view to turn CSRD into a strategic advantage: 1️⃣ Data Collection: Automate, but Choose Wisely Technology is essential for collecting the vast amounts of data required for CSRD reporting, but: 🎯 Focus on your needs: What specific data points are most relevant to your business and stakeholders? Existing solutions are adapted to certain industries and company sizes: be mindful of that! 📌 Agnostic selection: Don't lock yourself into a single vendor's ecosystem. Look for flexible solutions that integrate with your existing systems and allow you to switch if needed.  🤖 Data quality matters: Automated data collection is only as good as the quality of the data. Invest in cleaning and verifying your data! 2️⃣ Consulting Partners: The Power of Independence Consulting partners can provide valuable expertise, but be cautious about bundled offerings. 👩‍💼 Separate technology and consulting: Choose a technology partner based on their expertise in data collection and reporting, and a separate consulting partner to help you interpret the data and develop your sustainability strategy. 🏭 Look for industry experience: Choose consultants with a proven track record in your industry and a deep understanding of CSRD requirements. 3️⃣ Internal Champions: The Key to Long-Term Success The success of your CSRD strategy depends on internal champions who can drive the process and integrate sustainability into your company culture. ⚖ Identify passionate advocates: Look for individuals who are passionate about sustainability and have the skills to manage a complex reporting process. ⛵ Empower them to lead: Give your champions the authority and resources they need to succeed. This includes access to decision-makers, training, and support from top management. 4️⃣ Integrate CSRD into Strategic Planning: CSRD reporting should not be a siloed activity. Integrate the metrics and learnings into your company's strategic planning process. ⚡ Act on key material issues: Use CSRD data to understand your company's most significant environmental and social impacts. 🥅 Set ambitious goals: Develop clear, measurable targets for reducing your impact and improving your sustainability performance. The Path Forward CSRD presents a unique opportunity for companies to not only comply with regulations but also to build a more sustainable and resilient business. Please consult IMPACT LABS.earth if you want to leverage that opportunity.

TAJCO has taken a significant leap forward in our commitment to sustainability and compliance. Our dedicated Sustainability team Akash Sarvesh Verma, Mayuresh S Bharade and Christian Oberlechner, in collaboration with the external consulting group cubemos, recently conducted a CSRD Double Materiality Assessment. This assessment is a crucial step toward our upcoming CSRD reporting. Our success wouldn’t have been possible without the active participation of various internal stakeholders. The Sustainability, Environment, Health & Safety (EHS), Human Resources (HR), Sales, Finance, and Controlling teams all came together for a productive workshop. Their insights and expertise were invaluable in shaping our approach. As we move forward, we’ll continue to refine our reporting processes, engage with stakeholders, and drive positive change. Our journey toward greater sustainability and compliance is just beginning, and I’m excited about the impact we’ll make. A better future for TAJCO and the world! 🌎💚 #weareTAJCO #automotive #sustainability #CSRD #compliance #environmentalImpact #socialresponsibility #governance #togetherwecan #bettertogether

On June 25, 2024, EPEX Spot simulated what electricity prices would look like if each country in Europe had to rely solely on its own production. The result was alarming: while electricity in France cost only 0.3 cents per kWh, in Germany it skyrocketed to 49 cents. This highlights the dependency of countries like Germany on weather-independent foreign energy sources. To ensure stable and affordable prices, solutions like a capacity market are essential. #EnergyMarket #ElectricityPrices #EPEXSpot #RenewableEnergy #EnergyIndependence #Sustainability #CapacityMarket

Raimund Paetzmann David Bücheler- we see this challenge of local planning authorities resisting logistics parks in so many locations across Europe. They simply don't understand the positive impact of logistics operations on the local economy and labour market. The typical view from them is logistics = low number of unskilled jobs. There is so much ignorance and misunderstanding. We are increasingly being asked to support zoning applications to demonstrate these benefits with facts, particularly for skilled jobs. They are partly right in that the shortage of labour is increasing the need for more automation but those facilities typically require higher-skilled roles and better wages. Which to be blunt means more taxes for the local municipality. It is up to us to make the economic case! Agree? (apologies for my lack of German, I did try Google Translate but I couldn't check it 🤣 ) #logistics #labour #automation #locationstrategy GWD Advisors

Extreme weather events may not be something that we can predict with accuracy and it is also true that we are not prepared for them yet. But they have been foreseen and witnessed for many decades now... don't ignore the science. #climatechangeisreal #climatecrisis #ipcc #climateaction

𝗖𝗗𝗥 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆? 💥 Hot off the press: A new report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Deutscher Verband für negative Emissionen e.V. (DVNE) has unveiled the immense economic potential of Carbon Dioxide Removal (#CDR). We as Novocarbo are pleased to have had the opportunity to contribute to this project as part of the DVNE sounding board. 📈 According to the report, the global economic potential of the CDR industry could reach up to €470-940 billion annually by 2050. In Germany alone, the CDR industry could grow to €70 billion per year by 2050, creating up to 190,000 jobs—surpassing the current employment levels in the wind energy sector. 💎 The report also analyzes different CDR deployment scenarios for 2050, and it highlights that biochar carbon removal (#BCR) ranks as either the number one or number two novel CDR pathway in terms of volume. Regarding economic potential, BCR could reach a global economic impact of €35-70 billion. 🏗 The report emphasizes several reasons for BCR’s potential to scale, including its high technological readiness, its flexibility across various locations, and its ability to produce surplus energy. These factors make BCR particularly promising for large-scale implementation, also in Germany. To learn more, check out the full report or read DVNE’s highlights (links in the comments ⬇ ). What are your thoughts on the future of CDR and BCR? European Biochar Industry Consortium (EBI), German Biochar e.V. (Fachverband Pflanzenkohle e.V.), International Biochar Initiative
