Our portfolio as your sustainability consultant

EurA AG's sustainability consulting is scalable according to your requirements. We analyse your processes and solutions, measure their sustainability and optimise them – for more profitability and greener products!

Carbon footprint analyses

A carbon footprint analysis determines the emissions caused directly and indirectly by a person, an organisation or a product. In this way, it makes the effects on the climate transparent, comparable and thus also optimisable. For a Product (PCF) or Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) we take into account all directly and indirectly caused emissions according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) Scope 1, 2 and 3 as well as according to the standards DIN EN ISO 14064-1 and 14067.

Why a carbon footprint is worthwhile for you:

Increasing demand for CO2-neutral products
More transparency for stakeholders such as customers, employees or applicants
Growing additional costs due to the CO2 tax
Revealing energy/material savings potential as a financial opportunity

Life cycle assessments (LCA)

A life cycle assessment (LCA) is complex, covers much more than CO₂ emissions and has high benefits. It quantifies the environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of a product, process, or service, using a variety of impact indicators. To determine the ecological footprint life cycle assessment follows the standard guidelines mentioned in DIN EN ISO 14040 and 14044.

We use appropriate databases and software tools for our calculation and visualisation. This gives you a holistic picture, allows you to reduce ecological drivers in a targeted manner and at the same time avoids problem shifts along the life cycle.

Critical reviews of life cycle assessments

A critical review of your LCA study by an independent third party increases the credibility of the information and strengthens your trustworthiness as a company. In a "critical review", we check whether your life cycle assessment is correct, complete and comprehensible. The review is carried out in accordance with standards DIN EN ISO 14040 and 14044.

Hot spot analyses: getting results quickly

For an initial sustainability assessment, a hot-spot analysis can be used – also during the early development phases of a project. This makes it possible to quickly identify critical sustainability challenges. It represents a simplified life cycle assessment. We recommend the hot spot analysis in particular to clients who want to quickly obtain starting points for sustainability measures and recommendations for action or who want to have a potential check carried out as part of the application for a funding measure.

Sustainable finance

We support companies in sustainable financing – from conception to reporting:

Frameworks for sustainable finance: documentation for green, social and sustainability bonds and loans as well as European Green Bonds to secure a second party opinion (SPO)
Support with the SPO: assistance in the assessment process with rating agencies
Market standards and taxonomy: ensuring compliance with the Green and Social Bond Principles and EU taxonomy alignment
Monitoring and reporting: creation of allocation and impact reports after issuance

Make an appointment now – we will assist you with any questions you may have about sustainable financing for your projects.

Arrange a meeting with our team now – we will find the right framework for your report.

Supply chain management

How do you ensure a sustainable and legally compliant supply chain? Our specialized modules support you in this endeavor:

CSDDD / LkSG consulting: Comprehensive support in implementing the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) for integrating human rights and environmental standards into your business processes.
EUDR compliance: Advice on compliance with the EU Regulation on deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR), including risk analysis and verification of deforestation-free products.
Supplier assessment & training: Development of customized systems for assessing and monitoring your suppliers, as well as training on the implementation of sustainability standards.
Due diligence guidelines: Creation and implementation of customized due diligence guidelines as a basis for responsible supply chain management.

Life cycle costing (LCC)

Life cycle costing is an established method for determining the total costs incurred throughout the life cycle of a product or service (from cradle to grave).

More recent approaches combine the two methods LCA (life cycle assessment) and LCC to examine the sustainability and at the same time the economic efficiency of products. They are also helpful for investment decisions and the development of new business models. We are happy to carry out such analyses for you. Ideally, product design follows the principle of the circular economy (from cradle to cradle).

Environmental product declarations (EPDs)

Environmental product declarations (EPDs) identify the impact of products on the environment. They are widely used in the construction industry and facilitate the sustainability assessment of building materials and buildings. Although EPDs are not mandatory, they have become accepted as internationally recognised proof and are required, for example, in tenders – meanwhile also beyond the construction industry. We prepare them according to DIN EN ISO 14040/14044, 14025 and 15804 and accompany you through the verification process by an independent body.

Potential analyses for funding applications

Many national and European programmes fund innovation projects that are particularly climate-friendly and contribute to the energy transition. Therefore, national and international funding guidelines (e.g. for the EU Innovation Fund programme) increasingly require qualified and quantified forecasts on the greenhouse gas reduction potential and other environmentally relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of your project proposals.

We help you choose the appropriate sustainability KPIs and conduct a potential analysis so that you can submit your funding application.

Transformation concepts for climate neutrality

A transformation concept is a longer-term sustainability strategy with which you as a company or municipality pursue the goal of becoming climate neutral. It includes the preparation and verification of a carbon footprint, the formulation of climate targets and the planning of measures to achieve the targets.

In many cases, energy consulting topics are included, such as the switch to renewable energies or an energy-related optimisation of facilities and processes. In some cases, transformation concepts are funded as investment projects, for example by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK). We are happy to support you on your way to climate neutrality!

Trainings and workshops

When setting up a corporate sustainability management system, it is essential to train your employees internally and to involve them in the process.

As a training partner of the German Sustainability Code (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, DNK), we sensitise your employees to the topic of sustainability in workshops and lectures. In addition, we conduct workshops on climate protection and carbon footprint – also in cooperation with associations and organisations.

Dr. Ott gave a lecture on the subject of "Life cycle assessments and their application in sustainability management" in the "Finance, Accounting and Taxation" Master's course at the Georg-August University in Göttingen. She managed to combine theory and practice in an excellent way and made it tangible how important sustainability management is in order to achieve ecological as well as economic and social goals. I look forward to working with Dr. Ott in the future!

Professor Dr. Stefan Dierkes

The collaboration with EurA has not only confirmed that we are already on the right path in the area of sustainability – it has also helped us to document this path in a structured way, reflect on it methodically and develop it further in a targeted manner. This makes our commitment even more transparent and comprehensible for customers, partners and employees.
