The German Federal Environment Agency recently published a list of greenhouse gas emission factors for calculating climate-relevant emissions from companies. Corporate climate balances are the tool used to systematically record and monitor greenhouse gas emissions from companies. Before the list was published, corsus experts on climate and life cycle assessments Felix Lücking and Dr Ulrike Eberle were asked to comment on it.
Negotiations on the EU’s so-called omnibus package are entering the next phase. Against this backdrop, it is clear how important transparency and clarity are in the political debate. Companies are calling for clear and stable framework conditions, the financial sector needs reliable sustainability data, and politicians must ensure that climate targets can actually be achieved. corsus continues to recommend that companies consistently expand their sustainability strategies and effectively implement human rights in their supply chains, otherwise they will be taking a considerable and long-term risk.
The political debate surrounding the so-called EU Omnibus, the negotiations to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), from the perspective of corsus.
