Your guide to certified CSR management with HERZBLUAT

Sustainability as a business advantage!

Why certified CSR management?

The importance of CSR in the economy

CSR - or, more recently, "sustainability" - is more than just an ethical obligation, it is an opportunity for long-term corporate success.

Through responsible business practices, companies can strengthen their brand image, increase customer loyalty and boost employee satisfaction.

Gregor Wimmer's expertise - your advantage

Gregor Wimmer, Managing Director of HERZBLUAT, is not only a CMC (Certified Management Consultant) and Certified CSR Expert, but also a European Climate Pact Ambassador and participant in the UN Global Compact Network Austria.

His expertise and certifications form a solid basis for sustainable corporate growth and success.

How HERZBLUAT supports SMEs in CSR management

Effective CSR management is crucial for the long-term success of SMEs.

At HERZBLUAT, we recognise the unique challenges and opportunities that arise from implementing sustainable practices.

Our approach is specifically designed to offer SMEs customised support in achieving their sustainability goals.

Customised sustainability strategies

Our consulting begins with a thorough analysis of your company's structures, processes and goals.

We know that every company is unique and therefore develop customised sustainability strategies that are not only ecologically but also economically beneficial.

Our goal is to integrate sustainable solutions that improve your business performance while promoting positive social and environmental impacts.

Advantages of integrated consulting

By combining our expertise in business consulting, management consulting, sustainability management and marketing consulting, we offer a holistic approach that strengthens your company in all aspects.

This integrated consulting approach enables us not only to develop and implement sustainability strategies, but also to integrate them effectively into your brand and communication strategy.

In this way, we help you to clearly communicate your commitment to sustainability and set yourself apart from your competitors.

Our comprehensive support enables you to fully utilise the benefits of CSR, not only to operate more sustainably, but also to ensure your long-term economic success.

The path to sustainable success

The transition to a more sustainable business model is a journey that requires planning, commitment and continuous improvement.

HERZBLUAT sees sustainability not only as an obligation to society and the environment, but also as an investment in the future of your company.

Our aim is to accompany and support you on this path so that you can achieve not only social and ecological but also economic success.

Steps to implement CSR

The process begins with a thorough review of your current practices and an assessment of how they impact your stakeholders.

We identify areas where improvements can be made and set realistic, measurable targets.

Developing a comprehensive CSR plan involves integrating sustainability goals into your business strategy and setting up monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to track progress.

Our support ranges from strategic planning to operational implementation, including employee engagement and external communication.

Role of certifications and standards

Certifications and standards play an important role in ensuring the credibility and transparency of your sustainability efforts.

They provide a framework for best practices and help to strengthen the trust of customers, partners and other stakeholders.

HERZBLUAT helps you to identify relevant certifications and take the necessary steps to obtain them.

In addition, we support you in complying with internationally recognised standards that further strengthen your position as a responsible company.

This comprehensive approach ensures that your organisation is not only a leader in sustainability, but that these efforts become an integral part of your brand value and business success.

ESRS reporting - a decisive step for companies

The introduction of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) marks a turning point for companies that fall under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

These standards aim to promote transparency and comparability in reporting on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices of companies.

HERZBLUAT is ready to accompany companies through the entire process of adapting to these new requirements or to take over specific parts such as the analysis of dual materiality.

The importance of dual materiality (materiality) and comprehensive reporting

The ESRS are based on the principle of dual materiality, which means that companies must assess and report on both the financial impact of their business activities on sustainability and the impact of their business activities on the environment and society.

This requirement emphasises the need for thorough analysis and assessment to ensure that companies are transparent about the relevant issues that are material to their business strategy and operations.

It is particularly important to emphasise that reporting must not only cover the company's direct impacts, but also the entire value chain.

This requires extensive data collection and analysis in order to increase transparency about ESG impacts, risks and opportunities.

Challenges and opportunities of ESRS reporting

The introduction of ESRS presents companies with challenges, particularly with regard to the collection and preparation of the necessary data.

The standards require detailed reporting on a wide range of topics, from climate change and biodiversity to social aspects and corporate governance.

The need for independent third-party verification of these sustainability reports prior to submission emphasises the importance of careful documentation and sound data management.

At the same time, ESRS offer companies the opportunity to improve their sustainability performance, better manage risks and strengthen their credibility and the trust of their stakeholders.

Who does the CSRD apply to?

The reporting obligation applies to all large companies and to all companies listed on regulated markets (with the exception of listed micro-enterprises) as well as to large credit institutions and insurance companies of any legal form.

The CSRD is applied in stages.

Definition of the term "large company"
The term "large company" is defined by law.
In 2023, the monetary thresholds were increased by 25 per cent due to inflation.
According to Delegated Directive (EU) 2023/2775, companies are considered large if they exceed at least two of the following criteria

- Net sales of 50 million euros (previously 40 million euros)
- Balance sheet total of 25 million euros (previously 20 million euros)
- 250 employees on average in the financial year (no adjustment)

The adapted threshold values must be transposed into national law by 24 December 2024 at the latest.

They will be applied for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2024.
However, there is also a Member State option.
This allows member states to require companies to apply the new provisions for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

There are special regulations for the reporting obligation of non-European companies and subsidiaries.
