In November 2022, the European Council finally approved the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), obliging all large companies operating in Europe to publish sustainability reports in accordance with common European standards (European Sustainability Reporting Standards, ESRS). Even small and medium-sized enterprises exporting goods and services are likely to be involved in this process through their supply chains and partners. Most of SMEs will have to be accountable and provide detailed information on the sustainability aspects of their operations. Preparing a high-quality sustainability report and strategy is a long process, so we recommend that companies start preparing now.
What do we offer?
• Diagnostics of organizational sustainability;
• Preparation of sustainability report;
• Developing a sustainability strategy;

What will the inspection look like?
Intechcentras’s audit will assess your company’s sustainability context, key impacts and critical sustainability issues in the environmental, economic and social spheres. Stakeholder expectations and the risks associated with their implementation will be analyzed consistently. Sustainability datasets will include data on resource consumption, including the assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and analysis of social and economic indicators.
How does a report get done?
The sustainability report will be prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). It is an international independent standards organization that helps companies, regulatory authorities and other organizations understand and consistently disclose their impact on nature and society.
Where the strategy leads to?
To establish a sustainable business strategy, we assess your existing approach, align it with sustainability principles, and establish new goals for long-term transformation. Our strategy includes integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), engaging stakeholders, defining strategic directions and goals, creating an operational plan, and hosting corporate sessions for tangible sustainability impact. Our services go beyond theoretical concepts, ensuring real-world benefits.
Why is it important for others?
Intechcentras develops communication plans to effectively convey your organization’s sustainable initiatives to both internal and external stakeholders. It’s crucial for customers, suppliers, the public, and especially employees to understand your commitment to sustainable development. Demonstrating this alignment with employees fosters a modern workplace culture and reinforces their role in shaping a sustainable future.
If needed, we can enhance sustainability reports and provide further context to indicators by conducting diagnostics in the following areas:
– Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
– Carbon Footprint Assessment of Products and Organizations (CO2)
– Assessment of the Environmental Footprint of Product Organizations (PEF, OEF)

– Material Flow Analysis (MFA)
