    Economic decarbonization

    Our answers

    Your questions

    Which measures are economically worthwhile for your decarbonization – and what can you save by using?

    We evaluate measures based on four criteria: CO2 impact, investment requirements, ongoing costs, and feasibility. To do this, we analyze Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 measures with regard to Capex, Opex, savings, risks, and new business opportunities. This results in an economically viable climate transition plan for your company, complete with goals and measures, which serves as the basis for investment and budget decisions. In our work, we keep a close eye on the needs of your customers: food retailers, industrial clients, and consumers, as well as their individual purchasing decisions. We also work with you to demonstrate why it’s worth it.

    Where does your company need to invest?

    We identify which measures will trigger investments in the short, medium, and long term and estimate the likely costs. Together with you, we develop a realistic implementation plan that fits your financial constraints—with clear priorities rather than a long list of parallel projects.

    What sustainable risks could threaten your margins, supply capabilities, and revenue in the future?

    We identify early on how climate and biodiversity changes impact your raw materials, suppliers, locations, and customer requirements—even before risks manifest in prices or traditional analyses. In doing so, we identify not only current risks but also structural changes affecting availability, costs, quality, and customer requirements (“Revenue and Earnings at Risk”). Building on this, we develop concrete procurement strategies and measures that enable you to actively manage and address risks early on. This allows you to establish a sound basis for decision-making, strengthen the resilience of your supply chains, and secure long-term margins, supply security, and price stability.

    business practices

    25+ years of
    experience

    More than two decades of Systain prove that, for us, sustainability is not just a trend, but has always been our motivation and conviction for shaping the future.

    Consulting that leads to action

    The world needs sound decisions and meaningful change. That is why we help companies successfully implement sustainable strategies.

    Rewe Group, Katrin Petilliot, Projectmanagerin Sustainability Goods

    Strategically prioritizing relevant criteria using Systain has been instrumental in helping us develop a company-specific questionnaire for evaluating GHG accounting tool providers, enabling us to narrow down an initial selection of suitable tools from a diverse range of providers. This brings us one step closer to our goal of achieving automated GHG accounting in the medium term.

    Dr. Oetker, Tobias Arndt, Project Manager Sustainability

    Systain’s analysis has played a crucial role in helping Dr. Oetker provide a fact-based, transparent overview of the human rights risks and environmental impacts within its supply chain, enabling the company to use this information to implement targeted measures for more sustainable supply chain management.

    Zentis Fruchtwelt GmbH & Co. KG, Nina Scherber, CSR Manager

    Systain’s comprehensive industry expertise and the GHG accounting for our supply chains, presented in detailed dashboards, have helped us create transparency and make the issue of climate protection tangible within the organization. Building on this, we were able to identify ambitious areas of action tailored to our business model. With the Science-Based Targets strategy, we can now meet the growing demands of customers and regulations and take further steps toward ambitious, corporate climate protection.

    Wünsche Group, Fenna Mondry, Senior CR Manager

    Thanks to the climate strategy developed with Systain, we have laid a solid foundation for developing and prioritizing reduction measures throughout the value chain. This strategy enables us to meet the growing demands of customers and regulators and marks a major step forward in our ambitious corporate climate protection efforts.
