Sustainability strategy and reporting

In the last decade, the number of companies worldwide disclosing their sustainability practices has increased significantly. This is not only driven by new laws and regulations (e.g., the upcoming European Union Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, short: EU CSRD) but also by the growing awareness of financial decision makers that environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects seriously impact financial performance and corporate value generation.

Sustainability reporting methodologies are complex, dynamic and require a high-level understanding of corporate activities. A sustainability strategy with impact analyses, risk management process and verified data is imperative to deliver an accepted sustainability report. The bluesign Academy can help a business to accurately prepare and validate its environmental claims and to rise above the tide of ‘greenwashing’.

With sustainability reporting now being widely adopted, companies that are not yet working on their disclosures risk being left behind.

bluesign can help you develop a thorough sustainability strategy according to recognized standards like the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) or the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standard).

Product Carbon Footprint calculation (PCF) calculation for chemical products, textile materials and trims

What greenhouse gas emissions are associated with your product along its life cycle? Being able to answer this question has become increasingly important as we face the global challenge to cut CO₂ emissions and to head towards a net zero society. Producing a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) is an essential step towards transparent reporting. Calculating a product footprint will enable you to understand the main factors impacting the environmental footprint of your product. It can be used to create supplier commitment and increase the credibility of your product’s environmental performance from a stakeholder perspective.

The bluesign Academy calculations are based on a standardized life cycle assessment methodology.
