sustainable corporate governance

A new guide from the German Environment Agency provides a well-founded and practical description of how companies can establish a climate management system to reduce their climate impacts and climate risks in a systematic, transparent and credible manner.

About 500 German undertakings are obliged to include sustainability-related information in their annual reports. According to the plans of the EU Commission more undertakings shall report in the future and apply uniform reporting standards. A study on behalf of UBA recommends precise requirements for reporting on targets, actions and performance indicators and corporate greenhouse gas neutrality.
