Frequently asked questions and their answers about EIS carbon management solution of carbmee in DE.

Unser Produkt kann von Kunden verwendet werden, die daran interessiert sind, ihre CO₂-Emissionen zu messen und zu reporten. Es geht jedoch darüber hinaus; es wurde zur Reduzierung entwickelt – um Kunden zu helfen, datengesteuerte Entscheidungen auf der Grundlage von Fakten über ihre Emissionen in der Wertschöpfungskette zu treffen und auf kosteneffiziente Weise Net-Zero-Ziele zu erreichen.

Die meisten Plattformen unserer Mitbewerber verwenden ausschließlich Spend-based Berechnungen, die nicht präzise genug sind, um primäre Betriebsdaten einzubeziehen oder Ergebnisse zu liefern, die Unternehmen dabei helfen können, umsetzbare Hotspots zu identifizieren. Unser Ansatz besteht darin, sowohl Spend-based - als auch Activity-based Berechnungen zu verwenden, um möglichst gründliche und präzise Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

Wir bieten eine Spend-based Berechnung, um eine Baseline für Scope 1 und 2 festzulegen und bei Bedarf Hotspots zu identifizieren. Gleichzeitig leiten wir unsere Kunden dazu an, ihre Emissionsdaten innerhalb der Organisation zu sammeln und zu erweitern, und die Activity-based Datenabdeckung zu erhöhen.

Wir bieten Activity-based Berechnungen an, um Emissionen zu bewältigen, die in der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette, z.B. Scope 3, am schwierigsten zu messen sind. Während viele Wettbewerber aufgrund ihrer Komplexität die Verwendung Activity-based Berechnungen vermeiden, hat carbmee den Prozess gestrafft, um Ergebnisse zu liefern die 30% genauer sind und geben umsetzbare Erkenntnisse für Strategien zur CO₂-Reduktion.

Was unterscheidet carbmee von seinen Mitbewerbern? 

Wir haben unsere eigene Kategorisierung entwickelt, wie wir alle Emissionen Ihres Unternehmens aufschlüsseln, und zwar:

      Company Carbon Footprint...

Driving a Sustainable Chemical Revolution: Data-Enabled Decarbonization in Action

The CSRD marks a watershed moment for corporate sustainability with far-reaching implications for how companies assess their own climate impact, as well as for the future of sustainability reporting in both Europe and globally. Organizations will need to devote significant time and resources to prepare for implementation of the directive within a short timeframe.

We’ve created a quick guide to help industry enterprises understand the most important points of the CSRD and how they can best prepare for it.

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an amendment and extension of the current Non Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), under which large companies, banks and insurance companies with more than 500 employees are required to disclose information on their environmental and social impacts. The European Commission adopted a proposal for a CSRD in April 2021, with the aim of improving the quality of sustainability reporting and increasing transparency on the non-financial performance of companies for external stakeholders.

As the climate crisis has progressed, the EU is increasing its efforts to drive forward its transition to a sustainable economy. The CSRD strengthens the existing rules on non-financial reporting introduced in the Accounting Directive by the 2014 non-financial reporting directive (NFRD). The new regulations under the CSRD will bring important changes regarding scope and reporting requirements.

The scope of companies affected by the regulations will significantly be extended to apply to: 

All large companies, that is companies fulfilling 2 out of the three following criteria:
- Revenues surpassing EUR 40 million per year
- Total assets over EUR 20 million
- More than 250 employees

All companies listed on EU-regulated markets (except listed micro-enterprises)

This nearly quadruples the number of companies required to publish reports on the environmental and social impacts of their operations from 11,700 to about 50,000. 

What are the main differences between the CSRD and the existing NFRD? 

The CSRD will include more comprehensive sustainability reporting requirements and significantly expand the number of EU and non-EU companies subject to the EU sustainability reporting framework. Enterprises will provide detailed environmental and climate change information, but will now also be held accountable for reporting on a wider range of topics such as environmental rights, social rights, human rights, and governance factors.

The CSRD is mandatory for companies that meet in-scope criteria, which include: 

EU companies with over 250 employees and a net turnover of EUR 40 million

Non-EU companies with at least one subsidiary in the EU and a net turnover of more than EUR 150 million

Reporting requirements for the CSRD will be fully phased in before the end of the decade as follows:

reporting in 2025 on the financial year 2024 for companies already subject to the NFRD

reporting in 2026 on the financial year 2025 for large companies that are not currently subject to the NFRD

reporting in 2027 on the financial year 2026 for listed SMEs (except micro undertakings)

reporting in 2029 on the financial year 2028 for third-country undertakings with net turnover above 150 million in the EU if they have at least one subsidiary or branch in the EU exceeding certain thresholds.

To comply with the CSRD, companies will need to prepare a non-financial statement that includes information on their sustainability policies, risks, and results. This statement must be auditable by an independent third-party and be included in the company’s annual financial report.The specific content of the statement will vary depending on the size and sector of the company but could include policies and performance details, such as: 

a brief description of the company’s business model, strategy and sustainability risks and opportunities; 

implementation plans as they relate to the transition to a sustainable economy, measures taken to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 ( in line with the Paris Agreement), and exposure to coal, oil and gas-related activities;

double materiality, i.e. both the sustainability matters that affect the company and the impact of the company on the environment, market, and people; 

greenhouse gas emission reduction targets; 

policies in relation to sustainability (including incentive schemes); 

and the processes the undertaking used for due diligence in relation to sustainability issues, as well as the current and future negative effects of the business' operations and value chain.

What information will need to be disclosed?

Companies will need to compile their ESG disclosure information in accordance with the CSRD with guidance from the European Reporting Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). During the drafting process, the ESRS referenced various ESG reporting frameworks and standards, including CDP, GRI, SASB, and others.

The ESRS will incorporate both universal and industry-specific standards, like many other comparable frameworks. The first set of ESRS reporting standards is expected to be adopted by June 30, 2023, and publication of ESRS sector-specific standards is anticipated by June 30, 2024.

Which reporting standard applies to the CSRD?

While the full extent of sanctions is not known, as penalties are defined at a member state’s discretion, organizations found to be in violation of the CSRD can expect serious administrative sanctions, with possible penalties including significant fines.

In the case of NFRD implementation by member states, fines in Portugal ranged from €50 to €1,500, while in Germany companies are fined up to either €10M, 5% of the annual turnover, or twice the amount of the profits gained/losses avoided because of the breach.

Other consequences of CSRD non-compliance could also include damage to brand reputation, a loss of investor and stakeholder confidence, as well as legal action taken by non-governmental organizations.

Will there be penalties or sanctions for not complying with CSRD?

While some details are in development, it is clear that implementing CSRD it will require significant resources, and most crucial for multi-national enterprises, will overlap in scope and diverge in content from region to region. Regardless of size, companies should prepare for CSRD by:

ensuring that key stakeholders across your company are familiar with CSRD sustainability disclosure requirements; 

staying up-to-date on EFRAG announcements and ESRS guidance for CSRD;

assessing how your company identifies and gathers sustainability-related information;

setting targets and KPIs with planned periods to evaluate progress and relevance;

utilizing the right tools to help you quantify and report your relevant sustainability information.

How can your company start preparing for CSRD?

Carbmee’s EIS Carbon Management solution can help you to plan for success and prepare for the CSRD. Our platform provides you with everything you need to understand your baseline, set targets for emission reduction, develop transparent benchmarks, and report your progress through:

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD):Quick Guide

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD): A Quick Guide

The market rules have changed and there is increasing pressure for businesses to address their climate impact. Failing to implement a robust carbon management software such as carbmee’s Environmental Intelligence System (EIS™) to support your company’s net-zero journey can pose significant risks to your business. As regulations tighten, customers demand for more transparent operations, and investors assess climate risks, companies that neglect to implement carbon management software stand to face a multitude of challenges. Especially the ones with large and complex supply chains in carbon-intensive industries.

In this blog post, we dissect the potential consequences of forgoing a carbon management software solution – a decision that can prove costly in the new low-carbon economy.

Failing to adopt a carbon management software system could lead to a critical setback in the upcoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requirements. Without automated data collection and reporting, your company may struggle to provide accurate carbon footprint information, resulting in missed deadlines and potential financial penalties.

The CBAM, set to take effect by January 2024, aims to ensure that companies importing goods from outside the European Union disclose the climate impact of those goods. Companies that lack an efficient carbon management software risk failing short in meeting these compliance deadlines. Without automated data collection and reporting capabilities, the process of calculating and disclosing product carbon footprints becomes extremely time-consuming and prone to human error. Such delays or mistakes not only hinder your company’s ability to comply but also expose it to potential penalties, impacting both your bottom line and reputation.

1. Missing CBAM Compliance Deadlines and Potential Penalties

As customer demand for product carbon footprint disclosure escalates, companies without a streamlined carbon management approach may struggle to keep up. Manual data collection and analysis can strain resources and divert valuable time and effort from core business activities. This could hinder your ability to fulfill customer demands for transparent, eco-friendly products.

As global awareness of climate change continues to grow, consumers are increasingly seeking transparency regarding the environmental impact of the products they purchase. Companies that lack an automated carbon management software system may find themselves grappling with the complexities of manual data collection and analysis. This resource-intensive process diverts valuable manpower and time away from core business activities. Moreover, the lack of a streamlined approach may result in delayed responses to customer demands for product carbon footprint disclosure, potentially leading to missed business opportunities and dissatisfied customers.

2. Straining Resources in the Face of New Demands for Carbon Transparency

In a market where carbon neutrality is an increasingly sought-after attribute, companies without efficient carbon management risk falling behind. Failure to provide carbon neutral products in their portfolio, might lag behind competitors that prioritized efficient carbon management. Redesigning products to reduce their carbon footprint is no easy task, without a carbon management software that provides transparency and enables the company to benchmark the carbon performance of alternatives materials and suppliers hinders their ability to be the first to offer suitable options to customers, which may result in a loss in market share.

As customers increasingly prioritize sustainability, they seek out products and services that align with their values and net-zero objectives. Without an effective carbon management software, your company loses the ability to monitor climate performance in real-time and report reduction of emissions as requested by customers. As a result, your company may lose credibility in the eyes of environmentally conscious consumers, potentially leading to a declining market share and diminished brand reputation.

3. Hindering Market Position without Carbon Neutral Products

The absence of a robust carbon management system may hinder your company's ability to build resilient, low-carbon supply chains. Without insights into supplier emissions and sustainability practices, you risk partnering with less environmentally conscious suppliers. This vulnerability could impact the reliability and performance of your supply chain, potentially leading to disruptions.

Supply chain resilience and sustainability are integral components of modern business operations. Companies that disregard the adoption of carbon management software may find themselves lacking essential insights into the emissions profiles and sustainability practices of their suppliers. This lack of visibility can result in partnerships with suppliers that have higher carbon footprints and lower sustainability standards. In the long run, such partnerships could undermine the reliability and performance of your supply chain, exposing your company to potential disruptions and reputational risks.

4. Vulnerable Supply Chains and Supplier Relations

Companies that do not embrace carbon management software may find themselves at a disadvantage in attracting environmentally conscious investors. As the investment landscape shifts towards sustainability, failure to demonstrate a commitment to emissions reduction and responsible business practices could result in missed investment opportunities. Greener companies offering lower compliance and market risks may receive more attention from investors.

The global investment landscape is undergoing a transformation as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations take center stage. Companies that fail to integrate a robust carbon management strategy may struggle to attract environmentally conscious investors who prioritize sustainable practices and responsible business behavior. In an era where sustainability is closely tied to long-term financial success, companies that lack a clear commitment to emissions reduction and responsible operations may find themselves overlooked in favor of greener alternatives with lower compliance and market risks.
