      Danish businesses are in the middle of a major transition to cut emissions, reduce negative environmental impact, ensure good social conditions throughout the value chain and respect for human rights. With increasingly comprehensive legislation, stakeholder expectations, and reporting requirements, maintaining control and visibility is essential.

      Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are becoming central to how businesses operate and succeed in today’s economy. ESG is about managing, measuring and assessing sustainability impacts to ensure organizations can adapt to new expectations, while maintaining competitiveness and trust.

      The environmental aspect of ESG focuses on mitigating climate impacts, adapting to a warming climate, advancing circularity, and protecting natural resources. . On the social side, ESG addresses the well-being of employees, human rights, communities, and society as a whole. This includes ensuring strong working conditions, promoting diversity and inclusion, and fostering a positive influence throughout the supply chain. Governance emphasizes transparency, ethical business conduct, and robust organizational structures — critical elements for building trust with stakeholders, investors, and customers.

      The importance of ESG for Danish businesses has never been greater. New and stricter regulations, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), are setting higher standards for ESG reporting. Adapting to these requirements is essential to maintaining compliance and safeguarding your reputation.

      Carbon is at the center of today’s sustainability agenda, as organizations face growing expectations to measure, manage, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. We support organizations throughout this journey, from accurate carbon accounting to the design and implementation of decarbonization strategies, and the development of science-based targets to achieve net zero.

      The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) sets the standard for how companies should report on sustainability. The reporting must be integrated into the annual report and approved by the board. We help you with CSRD reporting to make sure your company is compliant with legislative requirements.

      The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) requires that large companies identify, prevent, and address negative impacts on human rights and the environment across their supply chains and create a climate transition plan. We can help your organization understand the implications of the CSDDD for your operations and seamlessly integrate its requirements into your business processes.

      Credits, grants, and incentives are strategic financial tools designed to support businesses and organisations in their journey to innovate, grow, and to reach their sustainability destination. 

      Our dedicated, coordinated global team offer expert guidance and strategic insights into accessing, retaining, and optimising your credits, grants and incentives opportunities. We will guide you through the funding application process, which combined with our digital solution, ICON, will empower your organization to achieve its goals.

      As ESG and non-financial reporting take center stage, the role of audit is more critical than ever. With increasing stakeholder demand for confidence in ESG disclosures, boards and audit committees are focusing on ESG risks and how they are managed. Our ESG assurance services are designed to support clients in navigating regulatory changes and best practices.

      How you run your company is the foundation of a strong ESG performance, and without it your license to operate could be at risk. Through a review of your ESG policies and practices in relation to key financial and societal performance measures, we can help you ensure greater accountability, more effective decision-making, and stronger compliance throughout your entire organization.

      As businesses take steps to decarbonise their business and supply chains, it is imperative they consider where rapidly changing tax regulations may impact strategic decisions, as while costs may increase, significant funding opportunities and tax incentives are being offered in the EU and around the world to support the green transition.​ 

      We assist with ESG Reporting, Tax Transparency, Credits, Grants & Incentives, Decarbonisation and Green Taxation. 

      The EU Taxonomy is a classification system developed by the EU to define what qualifies as sustainable activities. We help you use the EU Taxonomy to communicate clearly and transparently about your business activities.

      The European Deforestation Regulation will prohibit the sale of certain commodities (e.g. soy, coffee, palm oil, beef, cocoa, and wood) in the EU unless they are proven to be deforestation-free and legally produced. It requires companies to conduct due diligence, including geolocation of production areas and risk assessments, to ensure products do not contribute to global deforestation or forest degradation.
