  • What is sustainability consulting and why is it important?
    Sustainability consulting supports companies in developing a comprehensive sustainability strategy in order to be successful in the long term and meet regulatory requirements such as the CSRD or other guidelines as part of the Green Deal. It also provides support in the preparation of sustainability reports so that they are legally compliant.
  • How can ADVICON support my company in sustainability?
    ADVICON offers customized solutions to support you in the integration of corporate responsibility, an environmental management system and the promotion of sustainable development in your company.
  • What advantages does sustainable management bring to my company?
    Sustainable business practices can reduce costs, strengthen the brand and minimize risks, while contributing to a better environmental and social balance, particularly through climate protection measures.
  • Which sectors benefit particularly from sustainability consulting?
    All industries can benefit, especially those with a high environmental and social impact, such as manufacturing, construction and financial services, which often require good risk management.
  • How does ADVICON integrate sustainability into existing business processes?
    We analyze existing processes and support the development of strategies for integrating the circular economy and sustainable management without compromising operational efficiency.
  • What standards and frameworks does ADVICON use in sustainability consulting?
    We mainly use the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards), which have become mandatory as part of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). We recommend that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) use the VSME ESRS, the uniform European SME standard, or the German Sustainability Code (DNK).
  • How does sustainability consulting help to meet legal requirements?
    Our advice ensures that your company complies with current and future environmental and social regulations in order to minimize legal risks, especially in the area of sustainability reporting.
  • Can sustainability consulting contribute to increasing competitiveness?
    Yes, companies that focus on sustainability can gain a competitive advantage through innovation and long-term strategies.
  • Does ADVICON offer support in the preparation of sustainability reports?
    Yes, we can help you prepare sustainability reporting that provides transparent information about your sustainability performance and meets the requirements of your stakeholders.
  • How can my company reduce its CO2 footprint?
    ADVICON supports you in analyzing and optimizing your business processes in order to minimize CO2 emissions and implement sustainable practices.
  • How can sustainability give my company a competitive advantage?
    Sustainability can give your business a competitive edge by developing innovative and environmentally friendly products and services that stand out from the competition. Through sustainable practices, you can not only attract new customers, but also retain existing customers as more and more consumers value environmentally conscious brands. In addition, sustainable innovation can reduce long-term costs and increase your company's efficiency, leading to a better market position.
  • Is sustainability consulting mandatory?
    Although sustainability consulting itself is not required by law, it can provide valuable support. This is because the preparation of sustainability reports is mandatory for companies that are subject to reporting obligations. And other companies that are not subject to reporting obligations should also look into sustainability management systems and reports in order to remain competitive and meet stakeholder expectations.
  • Do you only offer your sustainability consulting services in Munich?
    We are a law firm based in Munich, but offer our sustainability consulting services nationwide. Our services are available to you throughout Germany, both on site and digitally, depending on your needs and preferences.
