Every company should keep its greenhouse gas emissions – which are unavoidable in the provision of business services – as low as possible. Sustainable business cannot be achieved at the push of a button, but a continuous optimization process based on ecological indicators is the crucial approach. Professional and verifiable climate protection as a company is therefore inevitable in the near future. If your company is among the first to address this situation, you will establish a pioneering effect that prepares you for compliance with foreseeable legal requirements, brings with it lower capital costs in the long term, and guarantees market advantages!

Knowing your emissions will prepare you for predictable, more stringent regulatory requirements, such as increasing greenhouse gas emissions taxes or the mandatory implementation of investment-intensive measures. Incorporating this component into your corporate risk management is essential in the long term.

By recording the greenhouse gas emissions generated by your company, product, or service, you can identify potential for emissions reduction. This enables you to optimize your processes and also save costs. You communicate to your customers and suppliers that you take responsibility for the emissions for which you are responsible. This allows you to build trust and adapt to the requirements of your business partners.

Due to the ongoing societal demand for climate protection, even the European Central Bank, under Christine Lagarde, has now embarked on the inevitable course of preferentially allocating capital to companies that demonstrably address climate protection. The same trend is evident in the capital flow of large asset managers, such as BlackRock. In a letter to his CEOs, its chairman, Larry Fink, wrote that companies that do not address environmental issues seriously and transparently are no longer viable and will therefore no longer be invested in.
