challenges & opportunities.
A world worth living in, also for future generations, is our common goal. Determination and speed are required. The significantly expanded reporting obligations at EU and national level are intended to contribute to this.
Different language
The design of a sustainability strategy is already a major challenge. The establishment of a sustainability management system plays an important role in the implementation of the strategy. This also includes the reporting process. Sustainability teams, risk management, financial reporting and many other departments are called upon to break down silos, find a language and build uniform systems and processes.
Missing data
What data is needed for sustainability management? And how can this data be collected, analyzed, and reported, across operations and supply chains, in an audit-proof manner over time? To be able to answer these questions, you need expertise and, not least, suitable IT support.
Complex regulations
Even complying with new reporting requirements (EU taxonomy, CSRD, ISSB, LkSG) and tax regulations (plastic tax, CBAM, Growth Opportunities Act) is a tour de force for companies. The practical implementation in processes, systems and minds is another major challenge. How can we succeed not only in complying with regulations, but also in staying one step ahead of new standards?
Conflicting goals
Even though the implementation of a sustainability strategy depends on the starting position and the objectives, it is an enormous effort for many companies. The balance between short-term financial success, further projects and sustainability initiatives is difficult to find.
Are the requirements going too far? Only time will tell, but we at greenfield are convinced: Mandatory reporting targets are a necessity and also an opportunity. Because they call for an in-depth and structured discussion about how sustainable companies are positioned across the entire value chain and how they can improve. And this is where the circle closes: reporting requirements can promote decisiveness and speed. This helps the environment and - last but not least - can decisively strengthen competitiveness.

fields of play.
Process-centric sustainability managementWe support you in defining and implementing your requirements with a clear process focus. Because sustainability management in all its facets - green reporting, green ICS, green taxes - only succeeds in the coordinated interaction of many departments. Jointly developed actual and target processes in the BPMN 2.0 standard ensure clarity, rapid progress and create the prerequisite for a high degree of automation. Other success factors are our experience in change management and our constant commitment to building knowledge on your side.
Efficient reporting processes Together with you, we develop robust systems and processes - freely and independently as well as with a wealth of experience from digital transformation projects. We know the providers of leading ESG solutions and support software selection and integration entirely in line with your requirements.
Regulatory issues under controlThe mapping of complex regulatory issues in scalable processes and systems is our brand core. One example is the implementation of new tax requirements (plastic tax, CBAM) in SAP S/4 HANA. In addition, we are happy to contribute our experience in building digital assistance systems to support accurate professional decisions by system users.
Sustainability, but efficientlyThe development and implementation of sustainability management is uncharted territory in many cases. There is a lack of experience, also with regard to external consulting. Therefore, we offer you to agree on a fixed price for defined parts of our consulting services. This leads to planning security and promotes efficient work with full commitment. Our xgreen network also stands for efficiency. We make our contribution through comprehensive project management of mitigation projects and access to a wide range of competencies, also in selection processes of external providers. Curious? Feel free to drop by xgreen.
