Guidelines: With Sustainable Governance to successful sustainability reporting
Industry association
2024
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.

German industry can increase the resilience of its supply chains by sourcing its intermediate products from different countries. We have analyzed these new procurement markets.
How many laborers and skilled workers will Germany need for the green transformation of its economy? We examined this question on behalf of the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
Even if the global trade in goods is no longer growing, there are still promising markets for German business. We present 13 potential markets in Asia and Latin America.
The Public Sector Loan Facility is an EU financing instrument to ensure a socially just transition to climate neutrality in the regions. Prognos and partners are evaluating the instrument.
With the involvement of relevant stakeholders, Prognos and partners developed conclusions for the further development of European structural funding after 2027.
The Baden-Württemberg Agency for Environmental Technology (UTBW) supports companies based in Baden-Württemberg in the internationalisation and export of environmental technology. Prognos provided the market information.
With green finance, greenhouse gases in Austria can be reduced by up to four per cent by 2040 – in the bond market alone. This is the result of our study commissioned by the Ministry for Climate Action.
Prognos supports the Citizens' Advisory Council in incorporating the perspectives of the population into decision-making processes and advises the responsible staff unit of the State Chancellery.
German industry is dependent on raw materials and preliminary products from abroad. On behalf of the Netzwerk Zukunft der Industrie e. V., Prognos analyses the supply chains and provides recommendations for action.
The green economy is a driving force in North Rhine-Westphalia. Both gross value added and the number of people in employment are increasing at a faster rate than in other sectors of the economy.
Prognos is one of the oldest economic research centres in Europe. Founded at the University of Basel, Prognos experts have been conducting research for a wide range of clients from the public and private sectors since 1959 – politically independent, scientifically sound.
