Webinars & Trainings

EFRAG has delivered – and with it a sigh of relief (and a frown) in many ESG departments: The mandatory application of selected ESRS standards will be postponed by two years. But what does this mean in concrete terms for companies? Which obligations will remain in place, which will come later – and is now really the time to sit back and relax?

In our compact, practical webinar, we will give you a decisive overview and answer key questions about the new developments regarding the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the current resolutions of the Omnibus Initiative.

Find out, among other things:

• What the EFRAG postponement until 2028 means for your reporting ==> We provide guidance on new deadlines, transitional regulations and areas of application.
• How you can use the postponement strategically ==> Gaining time is not a free ride: Learn how to set up internal structures, close gaps and plan reporting processes with foresight.
• How the omnibus initiative dovetails with the EFRAG changes ==> Clear classification of regulatory developments and what has priority now.
• Which requirements are postponed – and which are not ==> We show you what you should nevertheless tackle now to avoid coming under pressure. Keyword: E1 – Climate strategy
• How to use the current situation as a strategic game changer ==> Why it pays to invest early – and how companies can turn it into an ESG advantage.

Whether you are just getting started with CSRD reporting obligations or are already in the middle of implementation – this webinar will provide you with the latest facts, practical insights and strategic perspectives for the coming years.

Climate targets have long been more than just a voluntary sustainability pledge – they are becoming a strategic success factor. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) offers companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector in particular the opportunity to define scientifically sound reduction paths and implement them credibly.

In this webinar, you will learn how mechanical engineering companies can develop SBTi-compliant climate targets, what requirements need to be taken into account and how the target can be seamlessly integrated into a comprehensive decarbonization strategy. We will show you in a practical way how you can move from a carbon footprint to validated climate targets – and gain transparency, competitive advantages and regulatory certainty in the process.

The demands on companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector are increasing: Customers, legislators and investors are increasingly demanding transparency regarding the climate impact of products. The product carbon footprint (PCF) is becoming a key tool in this regard – and the new VDMA Guideline provides the necessary structure and orientation.

In our webinar, you will learn how to record the carbon footprint of your machines efficiently and comprehensibly – along the entire value chain. We will show you how to overcome typical challenges, select suitable emission factors and use your results strategically – whether for CSRD reporting obligations or to strengthen your market position.
