Sustainability
In recent years, sustainability has become an increasing priority, for consumers, producers, and politicians alike. Large corporations have resources to maintain own personnel or even departments and hire whole teams of consultants within sustainability. Smaller organizations may face similar requirements and needs but are often in a difficult position concerning where to start and how to find resources and funds.
EFF offers companies and other organizations practical help with meeting obligatory requirements and other needs. We focus on getting the job done quickly and cost efficiently. Our expertise has been developed during years of close cooperation with our owner, the DUNI GROUP, who has undergone a dramatic transformation from a producer of single-use products to becoming a sustainability leader.
Depending on the size and ownership of the organization, the EU’s ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) will begin to be mandatory from 2024 (published in early 2025 for 2024 data). The requirements will come to apply for companies regardless of whether they are listed. The ESRS will cover more ESG-related topics than companies are currently accustomed to reporting on. Furthermore, the reporting boundaries will be extended outside of the organizations themselves and into the value chain, both upstream and downstream, to give a better understanding of an organization’s true ESG impact.
Apart from legal obligations, other benefits of developing sustainability reporting and processes include:
Increasing the company’s appeal with its current and potential customers
Accessing sustainable finance such as Green Bonds and ESG linked loans
Ship goods to individuals through local sorting and storage facilities
Saving money by decreasing energy consumption and recycling
Increasing employee engagement and becoming more attractive as an employer
Reducing business risks due to environmental or societal factors
Thus, complying with obligatory requirements is far from the only reason to develop reporting and processes for sustainability. Contact us to learn more how we can support your ESG journey.
