Industry association
2024
Sustainability reporting is being elevated to the same level as financial reporting. This creates new challenges for the management of the environmental social governance data to be collected and for audit-compliant reporting as a whole. The identification of data points relevant to reporting based on the results of the materiality analysis as well as the company-wide collection and structuring of the relevant data and, if necessary, the corresponding implementation in IT systems are important steps on the way to the sustainability report.
Based on the experience gained from our previous Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) projects, we have written a practical guide to successful data management for an industry association. The guide also contains information on audit-proof reporting. The following content is covered in detail:
The guide ends with concrete steps and recommendations for action for companies.
The guide provides information that can be linked to the two other guides (materiality analysis and sustainable governance in the context of CSRD). The finished guide will be published on the industry association's website and can be viewed and downloaded by member companies. Member companies will also be offered an online webinar on the results of the guidelines.

Germany needs around 166,000 additional full-time places for primary school children by the summer. We are examining how this can be achieved for the Federal Ministry of Education.
The party offers no constructive solutions to any of the current economic challenges. The fact that the Verband der Familienunternehmen is nevertheless opening up to it is dangerous, says Christian Böllhoff in his guest article in Handelsblatt.
How effective are EU cohesion and structural policies in driving green change in Europe? We examined this and other questions together with COWI, Milieu and CSIL on behalf of the European Commission (DG REGIO).
How can smart specialisation be empirically justified and managed? On behalf of the European Commission (DG REGIO), Prognos is implementing the S3 Community of Practice (S3 CoP) together with a network of partners.
We combine economic research and strategy consulting for sustainable decisions in politics, business and society. Our robust data, precise analyses and scientifically based findings enable fact-based progress – financially independent, politically neutral.
