Our approach to sustainable business. For your sustainable business.

A value chain that is both robust and sustainable is the backbone of your business. This is where you make the difference. For your customers. For your suppliers. For the planet.

We support you in putting your roadmap towards sustainable business to the test. And together we will find suitable solutions for climate protection, circular economy and social responsibility.

The five building blocks of our framework

The cbs.zero framework provides you with a viable lever for addressing the challenges you currently face: Climate change, pollution, resource scarcity. By adopting sustainable practices, you minimise your company’s carbon footprint.

You reduce your emissions and conserve your resources. You help preserve our planet for future generations and reduce the risks associated with pollution.

The cbs.zero framework helps you make your supply chain more efficient, reduce costs and improve the management of your critical resources. Your company becomes more attractive to customers, employees and investors who increasingly value environmentally sustainable business practices. You become part of the solution and more competitive in the long term in today’s fast-changing environment.

Integrated Reporting and Steering

Elastic sustainability data is important for your company to be able to manage supply chains and measure progress. Your company, like your customers and suppliers, needs to understand the impacts of your actions, and you need to comply with various pieces of legislation. Integrated reporting meets the needs of your stakeholders and turns environmental and social risks into opportunities.

The four steps of your sustainable management

RECORD

Measure, calculate and document data for internal and external reporting. This includes the collection of emission and waste-relevant data, as well as data on social indicators and general governance information.

This step is key to meeting the information requirements of both the legislator and customers. It is also the starting point for identifying high-impact areas and tracking progress towards sustainability goals.

1

REPORT

This step is about communicating your sustainability goals and progress towards them to relevant stakeholders – your employees, investors, customers, partners and the public.

This includes making the data of your actual CO2 emissions along your value chain transparent and accessible.

This is how you fulfil your accountability obligations and create trust.

2

IMPROVE

Introduce improvement measures based on the measured and reported information.

Energy flows can be used to analyse where efficiency increases are possible. This also includes increasing efficiency in the use of resources and avoiding waste.

Improvement measures help you to secure your USP in the market and hold your own against the competition.

3

INNOVATE

Develop new business models and products.

This includes thinking about alternatives in design, purchasing, production and transport and offering sustainable products and packaging.

The joint introduction of end-to-end processes leads to a more sustainable supply chain overall.
