Why do I need a climate strategy?

Climate change presents us with the greatest challenge to date and makes the Paris climate protection target of 1.5° C one of the most important issues of our time. Despite this, global emissions continue to rise – threatening not only the environment and society, but also supply chains and entire business models. We can only turn the tide together. A sustainable and climate-friendly economy is the decisive lever here. Companies are feeling from all sides that they too have a responsibility. Regulatory pressure is increasing to determine their own climate impact and reduce it. Stakeholders want to know what is going on. Greenwashing has legal consequences. Banks and credit institutions are paying more attention to ESG criteria. But perhaps you too have long since recognized this: A decarbonization strategy holds business opportunities – it pays to proactively drive forward the sustainable transformation.

Why a decarbonization plan is important

How VERSO supports you with your decarbonization strategy

Our mission: Through software and consulting, we make it as easy as possible for sustainability managers to get started with climate management and set the course for your company’s holistic decarbonization strategy.

1. calculate CO₂ emissions

With a high-quality CO₂ balance sheet (Scope 1 to 3) of your company or your events, we first determine the status quo. Naturally in accordance with the GHG standard. We involve all relevant stakeholders and also get management on board.

2. plan climate targets and measures

We then define relative and absolute climate targets based on the latest scientific findings. We bring your company’s (hidden) potential to light and prepare you to take action with the right measures.

3. reduce GHG emissions

Your team is familiar with the Climate Hub; the starting point and clear KPIs show you the way: you now have all the tools you need to confidently implement your decarbonization plan. But don’t worry: we are always there for you if you have any questions!

4. balancing and compensating

Some emissions simply cannot be avoided? Our partner ClimateGrid advises you on the selection of reputable climate and environmental protection projects to offset unavoidable emissions. The offset projects are seamlessly integrated into the Climate Hub.

5. transparent climate communication

The Green Claims Directive clearly specifies what is permitted in sustainability communication – and what is not. Together with ClimateGrid, we advise you on the truthful, transparent communication of your decarbonization strategy and your successes.

6. create a sustainability report

We then make all climate data from the Climate Hub and offsetting projects easily available in the ESG Hub. Including graphical representation. This allows you to depict your decarbonization progress in your sustainability report with just a few clicks.

Empowerment instead of data collection

What makes working with VERSO special? We not only provide you with data – but also tools and know-how so that you can take your decarbonization strategy into your own hands in the long term. For example, we support you in integrating the measurement processes into your company processes and familiarize everyone involved with the Climate Hub. Our ESG consultants are on hand to answer any questions you may have – and you can take part in ongoing training at the VERSO Academy.

So, when do we start?
