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.

On behalf of the European Commission, we examined how the EU can benefit from the bioeconomy.
Europe has a strong research capabilities, but too little market success. The European Innovation Act aims to change this, remove structural barriers and thereby significantly strengthen innovation in the EU. Prognos and its partners were assisting with its development.
Our study for the European Environment Agency shows that the clean-tech industry is growing rapidly – yet a skilled workforce is becoming a crucial factor in achieving the EU’s net-zero targets.
The EU is central to Germany’s economy. Our study for vbw highlights the extent to which growth, employment and value creation in Germany depend on the European Single Market.
The aim of the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) is to strengthen the European economy through cooperation. Together with our partners, we were developing the ECCP into a single point of contact for cluster organisations in Europe.
How do trade fairs affect the regional and national economy? Our series of studies, commissioned by AUMA and individual trade fair venues, provides the answers.
How do investments in industrial policy influence regional development in Europe? Prognos analyses how different strategic approaches to industrial policy shape regional outcomes.
How can opportunities, resources, and risks be distributed fairly between generations? In the LIFe project, we are investigating for the European Commission how key areas of life develop over the life course and across generations.
In the 2026 Federal Report on Research and Innovation (BuFI), the federal government outlines its current research and innovation policy goals and measures. Prognos once again assisted the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space in preparing the report.
Germany, France and Poland are strengthening research and innovation through the Weimar Triangle. Prognos is identifying opportunities and developing forms of trilateral cooperation on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.
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.
