Climate Strategy & Climate Management
In accordance with the Paris Agreement and the EU Green Deal, the EU and its member states aim to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050 at the latest. This goal can only be achieved through the active participation of the private sector and public administration. However, the implementation of this goal is a great challenge in terms of organisation and content, and long-term solutions for climate protection must be established.
The development of a climate strategy for your organisation addresses measures and goals at the strategic level, as the climate strategy provides the framework for the main action areas of climate management. Specific measures can only be implemented through active climate management to achieve the goals of the climate strategy in the long run.
In contrast to environmental and energy management, there is no uniform standard for the implementation of corporate climate management. In our understanding, holistic climate management nevertheless includes the main elements of standardised management systems: from planning to measuring performance to implementing improvement measures and monitoring success. The core elements are a valid carbon footprint and an ambitious climate strategy that sets the path for a climate-friendly way of doing business.
We support you in setting up the necessary processes for credible climate management and in developing your climate strategy and help you on the way to climate neutrality. To this end, we contribute our expertise in the field of assessment and verification.
Climate accounting according to Greenhouse Gas Protocol and other recognised standards (e.g. ISO 14064, PAS 2060)
Development of ambitious climate targets (e.g. climate neutrality or science-based climate target according to the science-based targets approach)
Establishment of a holistic climate management system
Development of measures to avoid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Advice on the selection of suitable offset certificates
Preparation and support of external verification (e.g. according to ISO 14064)
Extensive experience of Arqum consultants with climate protection, assessment and verification in various industries and organizations
Development of a comprehensive and tailor-made climate management system
Increasing competitiveness and mitigation of risks associated with a transition to a carbon-free economy
Integration of the action plan into the corporate structure to address climate change in a structured way
Preparing for regulatory requirements
Further information
To address the direct (e.g., physical) and indirect (e.g., market) challenges of climate change, we help you develop a comprehensive climate strategy. The basis for this is an inventory of your company’s carbon footprint (CCF). Based on this, a materiality analysis is used to determine which emission sources are particularly relevant and where savings can be made. Based on this, we jointly develop targets for short-term reduction as well as strategies for long-term reduction of GHG emissions.
