Transform environmental challenges into strategic opportunities with comprehensive assessments that drive sustainability and innovation across your processes and products.
Background
In today’s competitive and environmentally conscious market, understanding the environmental impact of your products or processes is crucial. Implementing sustainability assessments, even already in the development phase, can reveal environmental impact hot spots in your processes, support the design of more sustainable products (“sustainable by design”) and reduce costs. Our environmental assessment services equip your business with the insights needed to achieve and maintain ecological responsibility and compliance.
Interaction & Process
Our assessments typically involve a collaborative approach, starting with a detailed definition of the scope and objectives of the assessment. We work closely with your team to gather necessary data on energy use, materials, and emissions. We use and build on an in-house tool which was specifically designed with multi-stage biotechnological processes in mind and developed with our partner STRATECO OG. Collaboratively we assess and interpret the environmental impacts. The findings are then compiled into a comprehensive report, which includes actionable insights and recommendations for improving environmental performance. We ensure ongoing communication and support throughout the process to address any questions.
