In the coming years, the economy will face challenges due to new German laws and EU regulations. Large companies will be impacted directly by legislation such as the Supply Chain Duty of Care Act (LksG), Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). These regulations will first affect suppliers and subcontractors indirectly, gradually increasing the pressure.
Implications for Companies:
Large companies leading the way: Initially, large companies will bear the impact of new regulations, which will then cascade down to their suppliers and subcontractors.
Indirect impact on SMEs: Medium-sized companies will also feel the effects indirectly as they work to meet the requirements of their major customers.
Resource scarcity: Smaller companies often lack the resources needed to meet short-term demands from OEMs.
Business risks: Failure of smaller companies to fulfill requests from OEMs may result in strained relationships and threaten their livelihoods.
Our customers frequently require prompt PCF (product carbon footprint) data to meet the demands of large companies, such as automotive manufacturers, and fulfill their contracts. We provide proactive support to help you prepare for these challenges.
Certified PCFs: Get a certified PCF for every product you purchase from us.
Expert consulting: Benefit from our carbon footprint consulting and carbon management expertise to achieve your sustainability objectives.
Proactive support: Our proactive approach ensures that you are prepared for future demands.
The PCF is calculated in accordance with standards such as PAS 2050, GHG Protocol, ISO 14064 and ISO 14067, which provide a standardised methodology for calculating and reporting CO2 emissions over the entire life cycle of a product.
Scope 1: Direct emissions from own or controlled sources.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy.
Scope 3: All other indirect emissions generated in the company's value chain.
Companies can reduce their CO2 emissions through various measures, including energy efficiency, switching to renewable energy and optimising the supply chain. Our sustainability consultancy helps you to identify and implement the best strategies for your company.
