Regulation, ratings and reporting have taken up more and more space in recent years. Our newsletter has illustrated what is also happening in the day-to-day business of companies. As BP Consultants, we accepted this challenge at an early stage and have developed the topic into a separate pillar of our consulting services over time. Regulation has gained a dynamism and significance to which we have adapted – and to which we want to adapt you. To this end, we are also focussing on this area in our newsletter. From the political framework to strategic planning, practical examples, ratings and sustainability assessments, climate analyses and reporting: we place everything under the new Regulation, Ratings & Reports category, always with your added value in mind.
Regulation: utilising framework conditions for the future
Legislators are increasingly focussing on clear guidelines to promote sustainable economic processes. These include new product regulations such as the European Packaging Ordinance (PPWR) or the stricter requirements of the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUP), but also the legal framework conditions that directly address companies, such as the Green Claims Regulation or the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). They are all fundamentally changing the rules of the game for companies. We focus on how you can not only comply with the new regulations but also utilise them strategically for your own benefit – worldwide.
Strategic planning: Moving from obligation to choice
Those who view regulatory adjustments as a necessary evil overlook the opportunities they offer for further development. We help your company to develop long-term strategies that consider both legal requirements and market potential. From roadmap development to practical implementation: a clear plan is the key to success.
Practical example: Cooperation for sustainable packaging solutions
A current example of successful collaboration is our partnership with Gerhard Schubert GmbH, which we also report on in this newsletter. Together, we support companies in developing and implementing sustainable packaging solutions. By combining technical know-how, regulatory expertise and strategic foresight, we enable you to achieve a holistic transformation towards a circular economy.
Ratings & sustainability assessments: Transparency and competitive advantages
Sustainability ratings such as EcoVadis are playing an increasingly important role for companies in positioning themselves to customers and investors as responsible and sustainable partners. As experts, we support you in optimising your rating and accompany you on the way to higher rating levels in order to improve your ESG performance.
Climate analyses: understanding and reducing the CO₂ footprint
Sound climate management starts with the right analysis. We help you to record your company’s carbon footprint, carry out scenario analyses and develop targeted measures to reduce emissions. From the GHG inventory to the product carbon footprint (PCF) and the integration of climate targets from the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). With our expertise, you can shape a sustainable future for your company.
Reports: At the end of the road is a report
Whether you need it for a good rating or to fulfil a regulatory requirement, at the end of the day you always need a report. But here too, reporting should be more than just a compulsory exercise. It should add value to your company. That is why we help you to fulfil the demands placed on your company, whether through a GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) or a CSRD-compliant report. We work with you to create a customised materiality analysis to determine your priorities. And we implement structures and systems that simplify data collection and enable meaningful monitoring.
Your added value: Efficient implementation & compliance security
Our consulting services cover all relevant aspects – from policy evaluation and risk analysis to practical implementation. We offer customised solutions for companies in the packaging industry, machine manufacturers, material producers and associations.
Use our knowledge for your company to avert regulatory risks and capitalise on the new challenges by turning them into competitive advantages together.
We are just one contact away. We would be happy to invite you to a non-binding discussion in which our expert Jenny Walther-Thoss will explain the relevance of the topic for your company.
