ESG Policies

Policies that work – controllable, verifiable, practical

Policies become impact when they are more than just well-intentioned declarations of intent. We develop, write, revise, and supplement company-wide ESG policies that clearly contribute to your strategy, have a lasting impact, and also meet external requirements.

Whether for governance, climate, human rights, or supply chains: we create foundations that enable you to stand up to investors, rating agencies, auditors, and stakeholders, and whose compliance level you can  check at any time.

How we optimize your policies

A good ESG policy is more than just a document—it must be strategically compatible, operationally feasible, and comprehensible to external parties.
We develop guidelines that are tailored to your organization and at the same time provide internal control and external credibility.

In doing so, we pay attention to five key quality characteristics:

  1. Strategic alignment
    Every policy clearly contributes to your corporate goals, ESG measures, and accountability structures.
  2. Appropriate level of ambition
    Ambitious but realistic – with a concrete roadmap and to-do overview instead of excessive demands.
  3. Concrete measures instead of declarations of intent
    We formulate actionable to-dos, clear responsibilities, and measurable steps.
  4. Meaningful key performance indicators
    Lean KPIs and KRIs that credibly support the central principles of the policy and can be translated into reporting.
  5. Rating, regulation, and certification compliant
    Our policies specifically take into account the requirements of ESG rating agencies, CSRD/ESRS, auditors, and certifiers.
  6. Legal & Standard Compliance
    Guided by applicable law, international norms, and market standards (e.g., UNGP, ILO, ISO, OECD, EU regulations).
With a triad of sound fundamentals, clear strategy, and governance integration, we get the most value out of your ESG policies for you.
