Webinars & Trainings

This DFGE webinar highlights the challenges of reliably capturing Scope 3 emissions data in the supply chain and integrating it into the corporate carbon footprint (CCF). Learn practical solutions and best practices—from effective supplier engagement to digital tools—to optimize your Scope 3 reporting.

Increasing regulatory requirements (e.g., CSRD, LkSG, CSDDD) and growing expectations from customers and investors make structured supply chain engagement essential. In this webinar, we will show you how to create transparency, measure progress, and sustainably activate your suppliers with the right KPIs, effective incentive mechanisms, and digital tools.

The demands placed on companies in terms of climate protection are increasing rapidly – not only due to regulation, but above all due to the expectations of key stakeholders. A well-founded Climate Transition Plan (CTP) is now much more than a “nice-to-have”: it is a prerequisite for access to capital, insurance benefits, and new business relationships.

In this webinar, we will show how companies can develop a robust Climate Transition Plan that

• structurally maps their own climate goals and intrinsic motivation,
• systematically takes into account the requirements of ESRS E1 (in the context of CSRD), and
• addresses the expectations of relevant stakeholders such as credit institutions/house banks, insurance companies, and customers.

You will learn what elements an effective CTP must contain, how you can use existing data and processes, and how you can position your company to meet the increasing transparency and transformation requirements of today and tomorrow.

The requirements for corporate climate protection are constantly evolving – and with the new SBTi Net-Zero Standard 2.0, the Science Based Targets initiative is setting an updated global framework for ambitious decarbonization strategies.

In this webinar, DFGE will show you what changes and innovations the standard brings, how companies can align their climate targets with it, and what practical steps are necessary for implementation.

Learn:

• the key differences between versions 1.0 and 2.0,
• how targets and methods for calculating emissions are changing,
• and how DFGE can support you in validating and implementing your net-zero goals.

Join us for an in-depth overview of the new requirements and opportunities presented by the SBTi Net Zero Standard 2.0 – and learn how to put your company on the path to a climate-neutral future.

The loss of biodiversity poses growing challenges for the food industry—from raw material availability and supply chain risks to increasing ESG and reporting requirements. In this webinar, we show how companies in the food industry can systematically assess biodiversity risks, derive relevant metrics, and integrate effective measures into their strategy, purchasing, and reporting.

This webinar shows how companies can gradually transition from product carbon footprint (PCF) to full life cycle assessment (LCA) – with a focus on methodology, data requirements, and system boundaries. Using practical examples and recommendations for action, product, sustainability, and development managers learn how a comprehensive LCA can identify hotspots, provide sound support for decision-making, and offer added value in terms of communication.

Certified management systems are more than just compliance—they are a strategic lever for credible ESG disclosure. In this webinar, we show how ISO management systems (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 27001) can be used specifically for ESG reporting and how training, pre-audits, and structured preparations guide companies safely through certification and disclosure requirements.

The Circular Economy is becoming a decisive success factor for climate-friendly supply chains and reliable ESG reporting. Scope 3 emissions, lack of traceability, and insufficient data quality pose particular challenges for many companies. In this webinar, we will show how companies can implement circular approaches in their supply chains, structure Scope 3 data, and sustainably improve data quality for CSRD and ESG requirements.

This webinar highlights the growing relevance of voluntary sustainability reporting standards such as Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standards (VSME), especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Learn about the specific competitive advantages of early reporting, how to apply the standards in practice, and how to best prepare for future compliance requirements.

In this joint webinar with an EcoVadis expert, we provide an overview of the most important changes and challenges in 2026 for your upcoming EcoVadis assessment:

• What methodological changes have been made to the questionnaire?
• What does the EcoVadis Roadmap 2026 look like and what do you need to be prepared for?
• Which ESG management hotspots should you focus on?
• Are there any important levers that can be addressed?

Sustainability reporting requirements are rapidly increasing: With the CSRD and ESRS, the focus is shifting to transparent, reliable ESG data – for companies of all sizes and industries. At the same time, the EcoVadis rating is becoming increasingly important as a globally recognized sustainability standard in supply chains, sales, and among investors.

In this webinar, DFGE + support from an EcoVadis speaker will show how companies can specifically leverage the synergies between EcoVadis and the CSRD/ESRS requirements. You will learn how EcoVadis results can be incorporated into ESRS reporting, which data and processes can be efficiently linked, and how to avoid duplication of effort.

Together, we will examine:

• Overlaps and differences between EcoVadis and CSRD/ESRS
• How to use EcoVadis results to prepare for CSRD reporting
• Practical examples of an integrated ESG database
• Recommendations for the strategic development of your sustainability management

The webinar is aimed at sustainability managers, compliance and reporting teams, and anyone who wants to link EcoVadis ratings and CSRD requirements in a future-proof way.
