GREEN STAR companies gain a host of benefits:
MANAGE RISKS
The business environment is changing rapidly. More aware customer base, new technologies, and tightening regulatory requirements create tremendous pressure on companies' strategic decisions.
The reputation of companies is at stake. Winners are those who turn risks into opportunities.
MEASURE THE
FOOTPRINT
The hardest part is setting goals and making commitments until it is transparently clear what your business’s environmental footprint is. The same goes for your value chain.
Mandatory non-financial reporting will expose companies.
SET GOALS
Ambitiously set EU goals, climate neutrality in 2050, and a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030 are rapidly translating into corporate goals, strategies, and operations.
There is little time to act. For green leaders this is reflected in ambitiously set commitments.
TAKE CONCRETE
ACTION
The key to progress is to REGULARLY measure the impact of improvements. The system of metrics must clearly reflect set goals and milestones. Technologies can be employed to enable automatic or real-time measurement and reporting, which is essential for data-based decision-making.
GOVERNANCE
Governance criteria assess how leadership contributes to achieving the goals of climate neutrality, how ambitious the commitments the company has made are, how it cascades the changes within the organization, how it rewards employees for green achievements, and to what extent it respects the rights of its stakeholders.
ENVIRNOMENTAL
Environmental criteria investigate the company’s level of understanding of the impact its operations have on the environment. Businesses need to assess and evaluate their climate footprint accurately. Everything counts, raw materials, energy use and production, process efficiency, water and waste management, with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
SOCIAL
Social criteria examine how effective the integration, cooperation, and involvement of different stakeholders are in achieving the goals of climate neutrality. Key stakeholders include employees, suppliers, clients, customers, and the communities in which companies operate.
