This requires information on the proportion of a financial product that invests in taxonomy-compliant activities.<\/p>\n<p>For example, information is requested on greenhouse gas emissions, consumption and production of non-renewable energy, wage differences and gender diversity.<\/p>\n<p>The financial service providers in turn obtain this sustainability-related information from the CSRD reports of the companies in which they invest. However, there is currently a certain amount of tension.<\/p>\n<p>The CSRD, i.e. the obligation to prepare a sustainability report, does not yet apply to many companies. It will be introduced in stages from 2024. The group of companies subject to reporting requirements will only gradually expand from 2025. However, due to the SFDR, many companies already have to report sustainability information to financial market participants if they require a loan or investment. It is therefore clear that it is worthwhile for companies to start reporting and collecting data at an early stage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"snk-section snk-section_slim\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-banner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-banner-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"snk-h3\">The most important sustainability standards<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The factsheet on the most important standards gives you an overview of what is suitable for your company now &#8211; quickly and reliably.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-buttons snk-buttons_noGap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snk-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/content.verso.de\/nachhaltigkeitsbericht-standards-ueberblick?hsCtaTracking=2dd9c351-f661-45f4-8a9a-d42c6439bfda%7C42960e3d-3e29-41c3-98de-613ed60e3689\"  target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Download factsheet<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t<section class=\"snk-section snk-section_noBtn\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textBlock\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"snk-section-headline\">Why is sustainability important for companies?  <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-slate-node=\"element\">There are numerous reasons to make a company more sustainable. Firstly, there is growing pressure from outside &#8211; from regulatory requirements, for example, but also from customers, business partners and competitors.<br \/>\nBut current and potential employees are also paying more attention to how their (future) employer acts and whether this is compatible with their views.<\/p>\n<p data-slate-node=\"element\">Sustainability can therefore provide a competitive advantage, strengthen the brand, increase employee motivation, retain customers and create new jobs, among other things. As we have seen above, it also helps in the search for investors. And, of course, a company makes a contribution to protecting our planet. You can find numerous studies that prove this in the blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.verso.de\/vier-fakten-warum-nachhaltigkeit-f%C3%BCr-unternehmen-wichtig-ist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Why is sustainability important for companies?&#8221;.<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t<section class=\"snk-section snk-section_noBtn\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textBlock\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"snk-section-headline\">We support you with the ESG report  <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You should therefore start collecting the relevant sustainability information in your company at an early stage.
