Sustainability Reporting

Increased trust in your company through sustainability reporting

Alongside the annual report, sustainability reporting is now the most important element of corporate information policy. By providing your sustainability information, you strengthen consumer confidence and actively drive the mindful use of resources.

Sustainability reporting has been subject to the accounting standard DRS 20 (HGB 315 para. 5, p. 2) since 2012. While sustainability reporting was originally a voluntary instrument to promote companies’ transparency and credibility, it is increasingly becoming a legal obligation.
Although mainly listed companies with more than 500 employees are required to provide it, sustainability reporting is also increasingly relevant for medium-sized companies as a result of the CSR-RUG and the CSRD. The reporting is intended to make environmental protection and corporate social responsibility transparent and assessable.
