What actually is biodiversity? Where are we today? How do I notice the decline in biodiversity in my everyday life? Can it be measured? Timo Landener and Moritz Petersen put these and other questions to Dr Ulrike Eberle, Managing Director of corsus, in their podcast “The same in green” (in German).
corsus has been a member of ‘Biodiversity in Good Company’ since March 2025. The initiative is committed to ‘giving biodiversity the relevance in business, politics and society that it actually has as the basis for human existence’.
On 25 March 2025, Tönnies Forschung held a dialogue workshop in Badbergen on ‘Biodiversity and livestock farming: where are the levers?’. In her presentation, Dr Ulrike Eberle , Managing Director of corsus, discussed how biodiversity impacts can be managed along the value chain.
On 5 February 2025, Talita Amado from corsus participated at the Policy and Research Roundtable Dialogue on Integrated Climate-Nutrition Action. The pivotal roundtable event was co-hosted by FAO and the Government of France, bringing together policymakers, researchers, and global stakeholders to address two of the most pressing challenges of our time: climate change and malnutrition.
In December 2024, corsus published a White Paper within the project ‘CLIF – Climate Impacts of Food’. The aim of the White Paper is to identify the most appropriate impact assessment methods for selected environmental impact categories to be used for communicating environmental impacts of food.
In order to make nutrition more sustainable, assessment approaches are needed that link health and the environment and evaluate them together. The Planet Health Conformity Index (PHC), which was developed as part of the CLIF – Climate Impacts of Food project, addresses precisely this issue. In contrast to mono-dimensional indicators such as the Nutri-Score (focus: health) or the Eco-Score (focus: environment), a key figure has been developed that can provide a clear orientation for health and environmental aspects. In addition, the newly developed PHC also takes planetary impact limits into account in the assessment. The PHC can therefore provide more orientation in the labelling jungle.

In a workshop, corsus discussed current developments and the legal perspective on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the German Supply Chain Duty of Care Act (LkSG) with the renowned lawyer Roda Verheyen from Hamburg.
