ESG links a responsible corporate attitude with investment decisions, so-called &#8220;socially responsible investing&#8221; or also known as &#8220;sustainable &amp; green finance&#8221;. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dax-indices.com\/index-details?isin=DE000A0S3E04\">DAX\u00ae 50 ESG<\/a> tracks the performance of the 50 largest German companies, which show a similarly good performance based on ESG criteria. The European Union is calling for &#8220;sustainable finance&#8221; and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/business-economy-euro\/company-reporting-and-auditing\/company-reporting\/corporate-sustainability-reporting_en\">Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive<\/a> (CSRD) is eagerly awaited.<\/p>\n<p>ESG stands for &#8220;Environmental, Social and Governance&#8221; and refers to criteria used by companies and stakeholders to assess the sustainability and responsibility of companies with regard to the environment, social impacts and corporate governance.<\/p>\n<p>The accompanying shift in society towards transparency and credibility shows a clear shift towards sustainable investment decisions in the capital market. But regulatory pressure in the EU is also steadily increasing. Meeting these requirements presents companies with extreme challenges. At DFGE, we support our clients in developing and implementing a CSRD-compliant ESG strategy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-info&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; background_style=&#8221;rounded&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;]<div class=\"standard-arrow list-divider bullet-top\"><p><strong>In particular, we support you with:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/un-global-compact\/\">UN Global Compact Consultation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/ecovadis\/\">EcoVadis Consultation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/cdp-climate-change\/\">CDP Consultation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/gri-global-reporting-initiative\/\">Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e2562392f5b\" data-id=\"69e2562392f5b\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643893211667{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1669652262959{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-203669e2562392fef\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-203669e2562392fef uvc-977  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-203669e2562392fef h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h3 style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#00adea;margin-bottom:20px;\">The DFGE ESG Questionnaire<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-203669e2562392fef .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:34px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:44px;\"}'  style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#222222;margin-bottom:30px;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Status Quo of your ESG Management<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Our ESG questionnaire is designed to help you assess the status quo in your company regarding the implementation of ESG topics and identify gaps in your sustainability management.

style=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;ESG versus CSR?&#8221;][vc_column_text]The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is being expanded to include Environmental Social Governance (ESG). This involves evaluating the social responsibility of companies or the voluntary contribution of business to sustainable development &#8211; beyond legal requirements.<\/p>\n<p>While CSR refers to responsible, corporate action in the social, ecological and economic framework, ESG ideally also combines a responsible corporate attitude when it comes to investment decisions, so-called &#8220;socially responsible investing&#8221; or also known as &#8220;sustainable &amp; green finance&#8221;. In the digital age, in which it is possible for almost anyone to take a close look at the actions and background of a business enterprise, transparency and credibility are increasingly becoming the focus of corporate decisions.<\/p>\n<p>The accompanying change in society towards more conscious consumption and questioning actions also shows a clear shift towards sustainable investment decisions on the capital market.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_accordion active_tab=&#8221;false&#8221; collapsible=&#8221;yes&#8221; style=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;The importance of the capital market&#8221;][vc_column_text]Corporate Social Responsibility and the capital market will therefore no longer be separable in the future; sustainability and annual reports are increasingly merging. For this reason, in addition to investors and banks, other players such as rating agencies, international institutions and NGOs are entering the scene. One of the best-known examples of this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/gri\/\">Global Reporting Initiative<\/a> (GRI), which develops and issues guidelines for the preparation of sustainability reports.<\/p>\n<p>The DAX has also been addressing environmental, social and ethical aspects for some time. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dax-indices.com\/index-details?isin=DE000A0S3E04\">DAX\u00ae 50 ESG<\/a> tracks the performance of the 50 largest and most liquid German companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange market that show a similarly good performance based on ESG criteria. Furthermore, the stocks must have passed standardized ESG filters related to <a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/esg-ratings-reporting\/\">Sustainalytics<\/a>&#8216; <a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/un-global-compact\/\">Global Compact<\/a> Screening. Furthermore, companies that have a stake in businesses involving controversial weapons, tobacco production, thermal coal, nuclear energy and military contracts are excluded.<\/p>\n<p>But the European Union is also gearing up for future requirements with new directives and regulations on sustainability reporting and &#8220;sustainable finance&#8221;. As early as April 2021, the European Commission published its proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which is to replace the Nonfinancial Reporting Directive (NFRD) currently in force. The proposal still has to go through the courts, but already offers a preview of the changes that will come to companies, banks and insurance companies in terms of reporting.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e25623946f3\" data-id=\"69e25623946f3\" data-height=\"50\" data-height-mobile=\"50\" data-height-tab=\"50\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
