A brief recap:
In February 2020, we were able to train around 30 WIN consultants at the Raiffeisenhof in Graz in digital climate accounting with the ESG cockpit .
For a long time, the further process was more digital than planned due to the Corona phase… nevertheless, already in the first year, some pioneering carbon footprints were created with pioneering Styrian companies .
In the following years, further projects were implemented and guidelines and methods were developed together in order to be able to better support the work of the consultants, especially with SMEs.
ESG Cockpit product development also responded to the wishes of the consultants and added a number of functions, including:
- further data areas and emission factors in cooperation with partner Federal Environment Agency
- a specific carbon footprint report that is delivered at the push of a button and that very efficiently pours the data collection and consulting results into a GHG Protocol-compliant structure
- or functions for scenario considerations – long before such considerations found their way into standards – as is currently the case with ESRS.
On the occasion of the completion of the pioneering phase, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the WIN team, especially Silke Leichtfried and all consultants, for the exciting collaboration – and we are pleased that, equipped in this way, many climate balances, ESRS or VSME reports will continue to be produced in Styria in the future.
Above all, so that companies can successfully present themselves as ESG-fit on the market and can use the insights gained from these activities, especially for the sustainability optimization of their business activities.
Climate accounting has grown out of the pioneering phase and ESG data management is on its way to becoming a general standard – we would be happy to support many people on their further journey!
