ESG & sustainability advisory
Sustainability affects more and more parts of your business. Customers and lenders are asking questions, regulations are changing, and you may want to take steps towards operating more sustainably yourself. But where do you start? And which measures actually make sense for your business?
AI, sustainability, regulation, scarcity and geopolitics. The world is changing, and with it the playing field on which you operate as an entrepreneur.
What today still looks like a development in the background could tomorrow be decisive for your market, your revenue model or the way your organisation grows.
Make sustainability work for your business
Sustainability affects more and more parts of your business. Customers and lenders are asking questions, regulations are changing, and you may want to take steps towards operating more sustainably yourself. But where do you start? And which measures actually make sense for your business?
OneLane helps you turn sustainability into practical choices. From collecting ESG data and complying with regulations to developing a sustainability strategy, preparing reports or obtaining certification. We look not only at what is required of you, but above all at what is realistic and relevant for your business.
From baseline assessment to practical action
You do not need to build a complete sustainability programme straight away. We start by looking at where you are today.
Our sustainability researchers and data analysts can assess your current performance with an ESG scan. ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. The scan shows which sustainability risks and opportunities are relevant to your business and where action may be needed.
After the baseline assessment, we decide on the next steps together. This may involve collecting reliable data, preparing for new regulations, producing an ESG report or working towards certification. This way, you can make targeted progress without doing more than your business actually needs.
The Centre for Sustainable Growth looks ahead.
We follow the developments that are changing the playing field and translate them into what they mean for your business.
- Where do new opportunities lie?
- Where do risks arise?
- Which developments are going to change your market?
- And what does this ask of the organisation you are building today?
Our services
ESG data management
Identify and manage data on your energy use, carbon emissions and other sustainability matters. We support you with services such as carbon accounting, energy scans and life cycle assessments. This helps you answer questions from customers, lenders and other stakeholders, while preparing for reporting requirements.
ESG due diligence
Want to understand the sustainability risks within your own business, an investment or an acquisition? We assess performance, risks and potential consequences so you can take them into account when making decisions.
ESG strategy
We help you define sustainability goals that fit your business and determine how to achieve them. We translate ambitions into practical actions, clear responsibilities and measurable results.
ESG reporting
We turn your sustainability data into a clear report. This can be based, for example, on the VSME standard for small and medium-sized enterprises or, where applicable, the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). We can also help you describe sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities in a structured way.
ESG compliance
Sustainability regulations are changing quickly and can directly affect your operations or supply chain. We identify which rules apply to your business and what you need to do to comply. This may include requirements relating to CBAM, the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
ESG certification
Want to demonstrate your sustainability performance? We guide you through certifications and assessments such as B Corp, EcoVadis and relevant ISO standards. We also use the certification process to identify and implement practical improvements within your organisation.
ESG assurance
Customers, lenders and other stakeholders increasingly expect sustainability information to be reliable. Independent assurance provides confidence that your information and processes are sufficiently robust. This can include carbon calculations, ESG reports or compliance with sustainability regulations.
Looking ahead is our profession
The Centre for Sustainable Growth is an entrepreneurial team within OneLane made up of smart and curious people who like to look further than today. People who follow developments, make connections and want to understand what lies behind the next change. From technology and sustainability to regulation, markets, raw materials and geopolitical developments.
We look at what is changing and, above all, at what that will mean for entrepreneurs.
From what is happening to what becomes possible.
The Centre dives into developments that are changing the playing field. We investigate what lies behind them, make connections and translate them into the everyday practice of entrepreneurs.
Through sharp insights, inspiring sessions, research, webinars and practical tools we make the future concrete for your business.
Know the playing field. See what is changing. Decide your next move.
Sustainability as a Service
Not every business needs an in-house sustainability specialist every day. At the same time, questions about ESG, regulation and reporting continue to arise throughout the year.
With Sustainability as a Service, you gain ongoing access to our sustainability advisers for a fixed monthly fee. We work as an extension of your team and support you with the issues that matter at that moment.
The service is modular. You can use us for ESG data and reporting, but also for new regulations, certification or the implementation of your sustainability strategy. This gives you access to specialist expertise when you need it, without having to build a full sustainability team yourself.
“We want to give entrepreneurs access to sustainability expertise that they can actually apply in their business. That is why we connect specialists across borders and bring together different areas of expertise. In this way, we help businesses take practical steps that are good for the company, people and the environment.”
— Bernd Hendriksen
