Our Sustainability Services for SMEs 

Sustainability Consulting & Environmental Compliance
Our consulting service offers solution-oriented guidance for companies looking to align with EU sustainability frameworks such as CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards). 

The consulting process is delivered in three main phases:  

1. An initial assessment to identify challenges and priorities,  
2. Personalized 1:1 session providing actionable recommendations and regulatory guidance, and
3. A final review to refine strategies and suggest next steps.  

For specialized technical or regulatory needs, additional support is available through the Open Calls mechanism.    

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
A key part of our sustainability support is the LCA service. This structured process helps SMEs and startups evaluate the environmental performance of their products or processes according to ISO 14040/44 standards.  

• ISO-compliant LCAs typically take 2–4 months, depending on data complexity. 

• Early insights into environmental impacts help companies avoid costly redesigns, improve resource efficiency, and strengthen resilience. 

• Enables SMEs to validate sustainability claims and attract eco-conscious investors.
