Climate strategy & accounting

CO₂ emissions accounting,
Developing a climate strategy.

Would you like to take responsibility as a company and develop an impactful climate strategy? We help you set long-term goals and make a positive contribution to climate protection.

Together we develop
a successful climate strategy.

In the focus area of climate strategy and carbon accounting, we support you in recording your CO₂ emissions and developing a reduction strategy. Carbon accounting forms the basis for an effective climate strategy that follows the triad of avoidance, reduction, and compensation. Avoidance comes first — because the best emission is the one that never occurs. Where reductions are necessary, we analyze your actual emissions and derive effective measures to reduce them.

For unavoidable emissions, we look at targeted compensation options. In doing so, we take into account your company’s individual requirements as well as regulatory frameworks to develop a strategy that is built to last. This not only helps you build trust with stakeholders but also contributes actively to combating climate change.

Our
service packages

A transparent carbon footprint and the resulting climate strategy are essential building blocks for sustainable business practices. With our service packages focused on climate strategy and carbon accounting, we help your company systematically record emissions, set concrete targets, and implement effective measures.
