Corporate sustainability. From the first step to an integrated strategy.
Whether first customer requirements, sustainability reporting or the development of comprehensive sustainability strategies for companies and products: we support you with expertise, reliable data and solutions that fit your goals and resources.
brands & values has been a training partner of the German Sustainability Code (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, DNK) for more than ten years.
We are also part of the DNK-Lots*innen network and support companies in the practical implementation of sustainability reporting and current reporting requirements.
Your needs determine the starting point.
Not every company needs a complete sustainability strategy right away. We start where the actual need lies – with a first customer request as much as with an established system.
Four reasons companies come to us.
Each can be addressed individually. Where it makes sense, we connect the topics with one another.
Carbon footprint and climate targets
We prepare corporate carbon footprints according to the GHG Protocol and derive measures and target pathways from them.
CCF and PCF are different levels of analysis – company and product – but can be linked in terms of data and methodology.
Ratings and customer requests
Many companies work on EcoVadis because customers demand it. We help to approach the assessment in a structured way and to meet recurring requirements efficiently.
We support preparation and improvement; the rating itself is awarded by EcoVadis.
ISO 14001 and EMAS
We support the set-up and further development of environmental management systems – so that sustainability becomes anchored and manageable in operations.
Certification or validation is carried out by independent bodies; we prepare and support.
Reports for regulation, customers and transparency
We develop reporting concepts and sustainability reports – for regulatory requirements, for customer requests and for voluntary transparency.
Whether and from when a reporting obligation applies depends on company size and the current legal situation.
Strategy when orientation is needed.
Not every project needs a complete strategy. When fundamental orientation is required, we bring experience from more than 30 strategy and materiality processes.
What connects these topics
Methods we have applied and refined over many years in a wide range of projects.
When sustainability requirements become concrete at product level.
Corporate and product sustainability are different levels, but in practice they increasingly interlock. Customer requirements, climate data, environmental and recycling claims as well as product-related declarations need reliable data.
From the first set-up to an established management system.

EAMWhere do you stand right now?
Whether a first concrete requirement or the further development of existing sustainability management – together we clarify which scope makes sense for your situation.
