To ensure the comprehensive adjustment of economic activity does not
remain an illusion, sustainability needs to be financially rewarding. And it does bring financial benefits with, for example, the thirty companies in the German DAX share index having a growing, active interest in being listed in climate and environmental technology funds. Politicians have also come to see that the right framework conditions can help to foster sustainable development on the market. In this field, adelphi advises public and private-sector actors all over the world. Our spectrum of services ranges from further training courses and skills qualification programmes for business, associations, chambers of commerce and financial institutions to consultancy on implementing certifiable energy and environmental management systems, the integration of CSR criteria in granting loans and the analysis of sustainability reporting. adelphi supports innovative companies in developing and newly industrialised countries with the drafting of business plans and identifying success factors in their particular field of business.

Energy and Environmental Management
Eco-friendly and energy efficient management is a key factor in competition. Today, no company can afford to ignore ecological and energy issues in company policy, everyday business or its products. adelphi provides consulting services for governments and businesses across the world on implementing certifiable energy and environmental management systems according to EMAS, ISO 14001, and EN 16001. We design training programmes and advise small and medium-sized companies on such environmental management instruments as ecomapping, ecoprofit, EMAS and ISOeasy. » more
Finances and Sustainable Investment

We organise the "Climate and Finance" consumer action week for the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, in cooperation with various banks and insurance companies. We support the integration of CR criteria into the loan policy of the Turkish Halk Bank, and we were involved in founding and setting up EUROSIF. » more
Sustainability Management and Reporting
On local and international levels, more and more stakeholders expect businesses to have a greater awareness of their responsibilities. Businesses, for their part, increasingly regard themselves as having a duty to steer sustainable activities and communicate them. adelphi advises on risk minimising and identifying potential for value growth. We have ascertained the status quo of German sustainability reporting for the Federal Environment Agency. In India, we support the growth of professional expertise and the regional expansion of training and consultancy services. » more
