Are you looking to become more sustainable? Are you a business owner facing obligations to save energy? Or do you want to know how to get a grid connection done anyway? Are you wondering how to comply with the obligation to report on ESG? Then engage one of our energy and sustainability specialists.
What is it about?
International agreements have been made to be climate neutral by 2050. At the European level, a Green Deal has been concluded with the interim target of achieving a 55% CO2 reduction by 2030. There are more and more compelling legal provisions and obligations to ensure that these targets are met. Governments, including municipalities, but also energy suppliers, network operators, banks and (international) project developers contribute to this.
This involves, for example, projects that provide sustainable energy, the construction of wind turbines, solar panels, heat networks and heat-cold storage. In addition, it also involves the construction and expansion of the electricity grid and the installation of charging stations and batteries. Furthermore, increasing demands are being made on the use of buildings in terms of sustainability and the use of means of transport. All this to reduce the CO2 footprint.
Furthermore, more and more companies are obliged to start reporting (standardized) on ESG (environmental, social and governance). ESG information is equated with financial information and requires the same level of assessment by an accountant. This ESG information is also becoming increasingly important towards customers, but also functions as conditions for obtaining financing, in mergers and acquisitions and tenders.
