SUMMARY:nova Session: Mastering CSRD Compliance: Strategies for Effective Sustainability Reporting (online)
DESCRIPTION:Hosts: Lara Dammer\, Head of Economy & Policy and Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Head of Sustainability (both nova-Institute)\n14:00-16:00 (CET)\n \nUnderstanding the CSRD\nThe Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that aims to improve the transparency and comparability of corporate sustainability data. It requires companies to prepare and disclose detailed reports on environmental\, social and governance (ESG) issues\, including Scope 3 emissions. \nWho will be affected by the CSRD and when?\nThe CSRD significantly extends the scope of sustainability reporting to a wider range of companies. Any company that meets at least two of the following criteria 250+ employees\, €40m+ turnover or €20m+ total assets\, will be required to comply. From 2024\, the CSRD will apply to companies already subject to the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD). By 2025\, other large companies will be included and by 2026\, listed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will also have to comply. \nAre you ready for reporting? Get your ducks in a row now!\nThe two-hour webinar will cover the essentials of CSRD reporting\, including the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)\, which outline nearly 1\,200 data points. Participants will learn how to integrate sustainability data into management reports and understand the need for external assurance on all disclosed information. The webinar will focus on double materiality\, which requires companies to assess both their impact on the environment and the environment’s impact on them. It will also highlight the importance of working with stakeholders such as employees\, shareholders\, customers and local authorities. Participants will learn how improved sustainability reporting can enhance a company’s credibility\, trust and value\, while providing insights for optimising long-term performance. \nTopics: \n\nUnderstanding the CSRD – background and objectives\nDouble Materiality\nEuropean Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)\nAssessment methods (incl. LCA)\nEffectively involving stakeholders\nData management\nOptimising long-term performance\n\nProgram (all CET): \n14:00-14:15 Welcome and introduction\, Lara Dammer\n14:15-14:35 Understanding the CSRD – Background\, context\, terminology\, Q&A\, Nicolas Hark\n14:35-15:00 European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) – Overview and data points\, assessment methods\, Ferdinand Kähler\n15:00-15:30 Double materiality assessment – strategy and stakeholder involvement\, Q&A\, Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Lara Dammer\n15:30-15:45 CSRD reporting and verification\, Lucas Wagner\, TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH\n15:45-16:00 Final Q&A and wrap-up All \n

SUMMARY:nova Session on Sustainability Certification – a Solid Basis for Reliable Green Claims
DESCRIPTION:Hosts: Nicolas Hark\, Senior\, Specialist Economy and Policy\, Asta Partanen\, Senior Expert (both nova-Institute) \n(13:00-16:00\, CET) \nCertification and labelling are becoming more and more important parts of the sustainability story\, since the multitude of claims is confusing to consumers and can also be considered greenwashing in many cases. Two EU surveys in 2014 and 2020 confirmed that around 53% of all environmental claims on products were based on vague or false information and even 40% of all environmental claims did not provide verifiable evidence. Independent\, third-party verification is one important tool to achieve credibility. \nAlso\, more and more producers of chemicals\, plastics\, textiles and other materials are thinking about switching to biomass as a renewable resource. However\, there is a lot of doubt about the overall sustainability of biomass use – and there is a big demand for reliable partnerships that increase knowledge and availability of feedstocks that can be used with a good conscience. \nThe three-hour webinar will introduce different options for biomass and bio-based products’ sustainability certification and what needs to be considered. A special focus will also be on the new requirements that are expected to come into play when the Green Claims Directive comes into force. Join this event to learn how to make your sustainability story even more convincing with sustainability certification. \nTopics: \n\nOverview of the biomass sustainability certification landscape\nCertification process and traceability\, chain of custody models\nRequirements for verification and certification from the proposed Green Claims Directive\nPractical examples of certifiers\n\nAgenda: \n13:00 Welcome and introduction\n13:15 nova-Institute\, Dr. Asta Partanen\, Quo Vadis Sustainability Certification?\n13:45 nova-Institute\, Nicolas Hark\, EU Green Claims Directive – What Does it Mean for the Industry?\n14:15 Q&A\n14:45 ISCC\, Jasmin Brinkmann\, Insights about the ISCC PLUS Certification Scheme and how to make Credible Claims\n15:10 SCS Global Services\, Erika Bartolomei and Gustavo Bacchi – Biomass and Bio-based Products’ Sustainability Certification.\n15:35 Q&A\n16:00 End \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sustainability Claims under New EU Legislation
DESCRIPTION:Are you also wondering what the future of green claims\, labels and certifications will mean for your business? In recent months\, the EU has aimed at creating new framework conditions for the marketing of environmental claims on products and services. This is especially seen with the recently published Proposal for a Green Claims Directive. \nMarketing terms such as “climate neutral”\, “recyclable” or self-created environmental labels are increasingly common on consumer goods\, but so far only a few comes with a scientific proof. The EU wants to change this practice and wants to ensure better consumer protection and fair market transparency with its proposal for the Green Claims Directive. \nThis means that companies will have to adapt on how to substantiate their sustainability claims. To help you understand these policies and their implications\, nova-Institute will host a webinar on “Sustainability Claims and Labels under new EU Legislation”. During this nova-Session you will have the chance to hear experts discuss the recent policy initiatives\, their impacts\, advantages and disadvantages for European businesses. \nIn addition\, we will discuss what is to be expected from upcoming legislation on products environmental claims and substantiation. There will be different inputs by experts and ample time for discussion. \n  \nHosts\n\nLara Dammer (Head of the Economy and Policy Department\, nova-Institute)\nÁngel Puente (Senior Expert LCA & Sustainable Chemistry\, nova-Institute)\nLuciano Proto Cassina (Specialist in Bioeconomy and Circular Economy Policy\, nova-Institute)\n\n  \nTopics\n\nLife-cycle assessment in the context of sustainability claims\nProposal for a Green Claims Directive\nLabels and certifications\n\n  \nProgram (all CET)\n\n13:00 – 13:15 Welcome and Introduction (Lara Dammer\, nova-Institute)\n13:15 – 13:45 EU Framework on Green Claims and Consumer Empowerment (Luciano Proto Cassina\, nova-Institute)\n13:45 – 14:15 Scientific Approaches of LCA and Green Claims (Ángel Puente\, nova-Institute)\n14:15 – 14:45 EU Labels and Certifications under the new Green Claims Directive (Lara Dammer\, nova-Institute)\n14:45 – 15:00 Outlook and Wrap Up (Lara Dammer\, nova-Institute) \n  \nDo not miss this great opportunity to engage directly with experts from the industry\, policy and academia.

SUMMARY:LCA methodology – Comparing Apples to Apples: Similarities and Differences in LCA methodology
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Ferdinand Kähler (nova-Institute) \nComparing apples to apples from a sustainability point of view is not so easy – Just as little as an effective implementation of the topic of sustainability assessment into business processes.\nTwo great topics for a “nova session” with sustainability experts from the nova-Institute supported by an external speaker from AllocNow. \nInformation on environmental impacts of products become more and more important. Sustainability is a megatrend\, customers ask about Carbon Footprints and specific claims must be substantiated. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the most recognized methodology to assess potential environmental impacts of products. However\, the flexibility of LCA methodology and the fact that different standards exist make it very difficult to compare products on the basis of different studies. That is why the European Commission has\, for example\, initiated the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)\, aiming to establish harmonised rules. \nMultiple frameworks and guidelines for conducting Life Cycle Assessments have been published over the years which are all applied in industry and academia. The objective of this session is to evaluate the frameworks and guidelines for the methodological choices which impact LCAs for products. The session will focus on where methodological choices of guidelines are similar to each other\, where they are different and the implication of the methodological choices for the results of the LCA. \nA second emphasis will be placed on the integration of Life Cycle Assessments into business processes. LCA does not happen in companies in isolation. We live in times of digitalisation and Industry 4.0 where companies are supported by powerful ERP systems. We will show you the differences and similarities of the various requirements and challenges when it comes to LCA and digitalisation. The company AllocNow GmbH will present an example of how the integration of corporate data and sustainability assessments can look like. \n  \nFurther information. \n  \nTopics\n\nSustainability Assessment and LCA\nVariety of standards for Life Cycle Assessment\nMethodological consistency and differences\nIntegration and automation of LCA in business processes\n\nJoin us and learn more on how to conduct LCAs and how to integrate them into your business processes. The session addresses LCA users or other staff that is working on sustainability topics and can bring already some experiences with LCA application. \n  \nProgram\n25 October 2023\, 10:00 – 16:00 h (CET: Central European Time)\, on-site \nHosts: Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Ferdinand Kähler (nova-Institute) \n\n\n\n10:00\nIntroduction and Welcome – Tour de Table\n\n\n10:30\nRelevant norms and standards for LCA\nDifferent use cases and applications of LCA\n\n\n11:00\nMethodological Aspects Part 1 \n\nSystem boundaries – Cut off und Materiality\, temporal Scope\nFunctional Unit\nElectricity\nCarbon Offsets\nLand use and Land Use Change\n\n\n\n\n12:30\nLunch\n\n\n13:15\nMethodological Aspects Part 2 \n\nBiogenic Carbon and temporary storage\nEoL Allocation (in advanced recycling)\nMass Balance and free attribution\nVerification and reporting\n\n\n\n\n14:45\nCoffee Break\n\n\n15:00\nLCA in Industry – digitalization and automation\n\n\n15:10\nCase Study: AllocNow GmbH – Automated LCA and Sustainability Platform\n\n\n15:30\nFinal Discussion\n\n\n16:00\nEnd of Session\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
