For politicians and associations

Sustainability requires dialogue: We link reporting practice and policy

With this approach, our team brings key questions, sustainability expertise and practical experience into political processes as well as the work of researchers and associations. We help devise current legal and political frameworks for further development of the DNK and deliver informed analyses and insights into sustainability reporting. We are your interface between policy and practice!

Understanding practice – helping shape policy

We analyse political developments around ESG topics and make their impacts tangible for companies – with insightful scenarios, clear assessments and concrete recommendations. We are closely supporting, for example, the Omnibus procedure at the EU level and the current political debate in Germany with our expertise, and we anticipate opportunities in sustainability reporting early on. We always have an eye on the needs of business: for trade and craft enterprises, we are set to launch a new DNK module, the "Zukunfts-Kompass Handwerk" in autumn 2025 in collaboration with the German Confederation of Skilled Crafts (ZDH) and the Centre for further training in trades (ZWH). Plus, our impact analyses combine findings and experience from actual reporting practice (both VSME and CSRD). 

Building bridges: Sustainable policymaking needs discussion

Sustainability requires dialogue as well as strong networks – which is why we rely on ongoing discussions with policymakers, associations and research. Do you have any questions or ideas you’d like to share? Feel free to get in touch – we’d be delighted to hear from you!
