ESG reporting & communication – sharing success stories and achieving compliance

With our consulting services on ESG compliance reporting, we help companies implement legal and regulatory requirements systematically and efficiently. We collect, validate and structure quantitative and qualitative ESG data in accordance with relevant standards and requirements, such as the CSRD, ESRS, IFRS, TCFD and EU taxonomy. Our extensive experience in managing complex processes from large global corporations to SMEs enables us to offer your organisation optimal preparation for existing and future reporting obligations – worldwide and in all locations.

A voluntary sustainability report is much more than just a set of numbers: it is a strategic communication tool that creates space to credibly convey individual sustainability targets, progress and ambitions – whether through comprehensive reports, focused impact reports or issue-specific publications on matters such as climate protection, diversity or the circular economy. Early reporting not only helps you proactively manage regulatory developments; it also significantly improves your ESG rating. Our experts support you from conception to implementation of all relevant reporting standards and frameworks, such as VSME, GRI or SASB.

As part of our ESRS gap analysis, we help you accurately assess your current status regarding CRSD and ESRS requirements and develop a strategy for further improvement. We identify necessary processes and disclosure requirements, analyse existing data flows and check that all the necessary information for correct reporting is available – with a clear focus on completeness, accuracy and traceability.

Credible, successful and future-oriented sustainability management begins with understanding the concrete strengths, weaknesses and development potential in ESG communication. Based on objective assessment approaches, we provide customised recommendations for optimising the content and structure of reports – both for mandatory compliance reporting and for voluntary formats. We also focus on AI readability: as institutional stakeholders are increasingly using AI-based tools, we help to ensure that ESG reports are optimally accessible for these technologies.

Companies can quickly draw the attention of the media, NGOs and regulatory authorities if their sustainability promises, or ‘green claims’ do not reflect reality. We help organisations avoid greenwashing and establish authentic, transparent and verifiable sustainability communication. Our services include topic-focused risk analyses, readiness checks for the EU Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo) and workshops and training courses for marketing and communications teams.

Implementing ESG reporting is not only technically complex for many companies, but also represents a cultural and strategic shift. Sustainability brings with it new objectives, requirements and communication processes, which require close coordination and adaptation of internal structures, roles and responsibilities. We focus on targeted capacity building to enable companies and employees to successfully meet the requirements of sustainability reporting in the long term. We promote the development of structures, skills and capacities so that sustainability is not seen as just an obligation, but as a driver for transformation within the company.
