Sustainability as a Competitive Advantage: Strategic, Measurable, Actionable.

Mastering the Complexity of Sustainability

Understand and implement sustainability effectively – overcome challenges, seize opportunities.

• Lack of Transparency: CO₂ emissions and climate risks are difficult to measure – without precise data, effective reduction is impossible.
  
  
• Regulatory Requirements: New laws such as CSRD, EUDR, CSDDD, and the EU Taxonomy require businesses to act transparently and report in detail.
  
  
• Strategic Integration: Many businesses see sustainability as a cost factor, yet it can drive innovation and integrity.
  
  
• Competitive Pressure: Customers, investors, and business partners increasingly expect credible and verifiable sustainability initiatives.

How I Help

I support businesses in embedding sustainability as a core part of their strategy:

• Strategy Development: Aligning sustainability goals with business objectives – for real impact and long-term success.
  
  
• Data Analysis: Recording of CO₂ emissions, identification of reduction measures, climate risks, water footprint and implementation of an effective climate strategy.
  
  
• Implementation: Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements such as CSRD, the EU Taxonomy, and SBTi.
  
  
• Training & Workshops: Equipping teams with the knowledge and skills to drive sustainable transformation.

Why Sustainability Matters Now

Sustainability is no longer just a trend – it is a strategic necessity:

• Legal Pressure: Mandatory sustainability disclosures under CSRD from 2024.
  
  
• Competitive Advantage: Sustainability strengthens brand trust and attracts investors.
  
  
• Refinancing: Banks decide on the basis of ESG questionnaires - companies with demonstrable sustainability come out on top.
  
  
• Climate Goals: Taking action now minimises long-term risks and secures future resilience.

My Solutions for Effective Sustainability

With a holistic approach, I support you in:

• Lifecycle Assessments (LCA)

  Lifecycle Assessments (LCA) enable a detailed analysis of the environmental impact of your products and services from raw material extraction to disposal. Utilise my expertise to identify vulnerabilities and implement efficient measures to reduce your environmental footprint. my consultancy services support you in making sustainable decisions and strengthening your ecological responsibility.

• Corporate Carbon Footprint

  Detailed analysis and strategy development for your company's greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 to Scope 3 according to the GHG Protocol. This includes considering the most relevant sources of emissions and ensuring that you successfully tackle the complex challenges of data collection and evaluation. Additionally, determining a base year to define clear reduction targets and strengthen your position in the carbon market.

• Impact Modeling

  Industry leaders are those who not only reduce their own emissions but also guide their customers and sectors towards carbon neutrality. Based on Project Frame, I evaluate the impact of new climate technologies, existing products, and investments so that everyone can make decisions that accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.

• ESG strategy

  Developing an ESG strategy (Environmental, Social, Governance) is essential for companies that want to grow sustainably. My consultancy helps you integrate ESG criteria into your business processes, manage risks, and seize opportunities. I support you in implementing sustainability goals, enhancing your reputation, and promoting long-term business success through responsible corporate governance.

• Invest and Reduce

  I provide you with a detailed breakdown of the key components of an effective decarbonization plan that creates a long-term vision and integrates sustainability as a standard into your company's practices.
  
  I explain the various methods of applying CO2 pricing, such as through an internal CO2 tax or Marginal Abatement Cost Curves, and demonstrate how these can accelerate decarbonization approaches.
  
  I examine for you the different components, key players, and also the limits of the value chain on the CO2 markets to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the market and its dynamics.
  
  Furthermore, I present the principles of investing in decarbonization, considering both return and environmental benefit, to help you make decisions that are both economically and ecologically sustainable. With my service, I support you in effectively designing and implementing your decarbonization strategy.

• Climate Risk Assessment

  Climate risks increasingly represent a financial and strategic challenge for you. Extreme weather events, stricter regulations and changing market requirements require these risks to be systematically recorded and assessed. You should analyse both physical risks (e.g. flooding, heatwaves) and transitory risks (e.g. CO₂ pricing, changing customer preferences).
  
  Structured climate risk management helps to minimise financial losses, meet regulatory requirements such as the CSRD and secure long-term competitive advantages. By integrating it into existing risk management systems, you can develop sustainable business strategies and become more resilient to climate-related changes.
