FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A sustainability report is more than just a regulatory obligation - it serves as a valuable strategic communication tool. If it is integrated correctly, it not only strengthens the credibility and positioning of your company, but also demonstrates your responsibility and attitude. A sustainability statement in accordance with the requirements of the CSRD and ESRS is closely linked to financial reporting and forms a mandatory part of the management report. This makes it an important source of communication with investors, customers and employees. In addition, non-financial topics such as climate risks and social impacts are increasingly becoming part of risk management and corporate strategy. Even for companies that are not required to report, a sustainability report (e.g. in accordance with VSME Standard) is a valuable tool in stakeholder communication, as it offers the opportunity to transparently communicate your corporate values, sustainability goals and successes.

Working with iron is flexible and tailored to your needs. You decide whether you want to entrust us with the entire reporting process – from conception to overall coordination, text creation, layout, and publication – or whether you want to outsource specific components such as data collection or editing to us. We support you exactly where you need help. Depending on the scope and individual circumstances, the project duration can vary from a few weeks to several months. Close cooperation with relevant departments such as sustainability, HR, IT, controlling, communications, and marketing is necessary to produce a well-founded and meaningful report. We coordinate all processes in a structured and efficient manner so that your ESG report covers all relevant information on governance structures, concepts and guidelines, targets, measures, and key figures for the material topics identified in your materiality analysis.

Credible sustainability communication requires the right balance between technical precision and comprehensible presentation.

Our aim is to communicate complex ESG issues in such a way that they both comply with regulatory requirements such as the CSRD and are clear and comprehensible for your target groups.

The relevant legal requirements depend primarily on factors such as the size of the company. We translate these requirements into an understandable language that strengthens the trust of your stakeholders and presents the ESG content in a way that is both audit-proof and convincing in terms of communication.

With our many years of experience in corporate communications, we develop customized communication strategies that are precisely tailored to your company - from sustainability reports in accordance with standards such as ESRS, GRI or VSME to the integration of sustainability into your equity story.

The fusion of ESG and investor relations creates a decisive competitive advantage: they present a complete corporate picture that gives equal weight to key financial figures and sustainability performance. Investors and customers today demand ESG transparency in order to evaluate the long-term viability of companies and to be able to correctly assess investment risks.

At the same time, ESG performance is becoming a decisive factor in tenders. In both the public and private sectors, clients are increasingly linking their award decisions to measurable sustainability criteria. This strategic link not only strengthens the trust of your investors, but also gives you a market advantage and a stronger position compared to your competitors.
