Guidelines: With Sustainable Governance to successful sustainability reporting
Industry association
2024
The increasing demands on sustainability reporting, particularly in the context of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), require companies to have a structured sustainability management system. This includes anchoring sustainability in corporate organisation and processes. By implementing sustainable corporate governance, companies can manage sustainability and thus meet the growing challenges.
We have written a practical guide for an industry association on establishing sustainable corporate governance as a central component of successful CSRD implementation.
The guide first explains the term sustainable governance and categorises it. This is followed by an overview of the interplay between CSRD and sustainable governance. The various dimensions in which sustainable governance plays a role are then analysed in more detail. These include, among others:
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 data management 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.

The current global economic order is faltering. What does this mean for Germany and the EU? We have developed various scenarios for the future global economy for the vbw.
The EU Commission commissioned Prognos, Idea Consult and the nova-Institute to research and promote the transition to a bioeconomy in the European Union.
What impact do global crises have on regional labour markets? The 15th issue of TerritoriALL magazine reports on the OVERLAP project carried out by Prognos.
The Single Market Programme promotes the EU internal market in order to strengthen it, standardise it and make it more competitive. Prognos was involved in the mid-term evaluation of the programme.
Prognos is supporting the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of the Environment in organising, implementing and establishing the world's first trade exhibition for the climate adaptation industry.
The Public Sector Loan Facility is an EU financial instrument to ensure a socially just transition to climate neutrality in the regions. Prognos and t33 srl evaluated the instrument.
German industry is heavily dependent on raw materials and intermediate products from abroad, especially from China. Prognos analysed supply chains and developed recommendations for action.
How can innovations be implemented in practice? This is where the BMBF's ‘Innovative University’ funding initiative comes in. Prognos and Fraunhofer ISI are evaluating the programme.
On behalf of the BMWK, we evaluate the impact of the BEG in the funding period 2021 – 2025 together with ifeu, ITG, and FIW.
Specialists waste a lot of time on tiresome routine tasks. 3D planning tools or digital twins can help. Our analysis for the Fraunhofer IGD shows which professional groups benefit directly from their digital technologies.
Prognos is one of the oldest economic research centres in Europe. Founded at the University of Basel, Prognos experts have been conducting research for a wide range of clients from the public and private sectors since 1959 – politically independent, scientifically sound.
