Study
Deforestation- and Conversion-Free Supply Chains
The cultivation of high-risk raw materials like soy is associated with a threat to valuable ecosystems. For WWF Germany, we first conducted a study to examine the central challenges in establishing deforestation- and conversion-free value chains and analyzed solutions to overcome existing barriers. Furthermore, we are currently supporting companies on their path towards deforestation- and conversion-free soy supply chains as part of a project group organized by WWF Germany.
Conference
Munich Transition For Tomorrow_Summit
The Munich Transition For Tomorrow_Summit forms the core of “For Our Planet” – a holistic journalistic initiative by BurdaVerlag and its media to support the fight against climate change. We supported BurdaVerlag with the planning and technical organization of the conference – from concept development, acquisition, and content briefing of speakers to editorial work during the event.
Strategy
Sustainability Strategy at an Automotive Supplier
Sustainability is becoming a central decision criterion for more and more OEMs, alongside quality and price. Against this background, we supported an automotive supplier throughout the entire strategy development process – from developing a sustainability vision and mission, to elaborating a holistic target system involving a multitude of departments, to defining concrete measures and identifying potential sustainable business ideas. In addition to classic climate issues, the focus was also on social aspects and approaches to strengthening the circular economy.
Strategy & Communication
Strategic Alignment of EDEKABANK
We supported EDEKABANK in a broad-based strategy project – from developing a <2°C compatible investment strategy and a suitable key performance indicator system, to elaborating Paris-aligned emission reduction pathways for their own greenhouse gas emissions, and to developing various guidelines and concepts, including for mobility, internal CO2 pricing, and employee incentivization. Further details on the bank’s strategic realignment can be found in the 2020 Sustainability Report, also designed by Nextra.
