The war in Ukraine has led many companies in the German economy to focus more intensively on the topics of ecological sustainability and renewable energy supply. This was the result of an Ipsos survey commissioned by the T\u00dcV association. According to the survey, many companies are stepping up measures for greater sustainability and focussing on the use of renewable energies.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For a good one in three companies in Germany the war is an opportunity to initiate measures for more sustainability<\/strong> or to strengthen them (34 per cent). And almost one in four companies state that they are focusing more on renewable energies as a result of the war (24 per cent). This was revealed by a representative Ipsos survey<\/a> commissioned by the T\u00dcV association among 504 companies with 25 or more employees.<\/p>

\u201eIn addition to the climate crisis and the coronavirus pandemic, the Ukraine war and its consequences are increasing economic pressure. Disrupted supply chains, exploding energy prices and changing customer demands are forcing companies to focus on environmental and climate protection in their business activities.\u201c<\/p>

Juliane Petrich<\/strong>, Policy and Sustainability Officer at the T\u00dcV Association<\/p><\/blockquote>

In addition to price, other factors such as security of supply and environmental compatibility are playing an increasingly important role in the use of energy. If you ask those responsible about the The most important reasons for investing in sustainable business<\/strong>, The top priority is reducing operating costs (46 per cent). In second place is compliance with legal requirements (43 per cent). This is followed by a better image (42 per cent), greater employee loyalty (37 per cent) and changing customer requirements (37 per cent).<\/p>

\u201eSustainability is not an end in itself for companies. Investments in environmental and climate protection must also pay off economically<\/strong>. The sustainable transformation of Germany and Europe not only contributes to climate protection and climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, but also makes the German economy more independent and resilient.\u201c<\/p>

Juliane Petrich <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>

This awareness is becoming more and more prevalent. \u201eAt the same time, legislators must continue to ensure that climate and environmental protection are driven forward with appropriate regulations<\/strong>\u201e, says Petrich. This would ensure planning security and a level playing field. EU projects such as the new Ecodesign Regulation, the Due Diligence Act or the revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive must be launched or implemented quickly.<\/p>

In addition to setting ambitious requirements, the T\u00dcV association believes it is at least as important that these are actually complied with. \u201eIndependent audits ensure that companies fulfil the legal requirements,\u201c says Petrich. This is also the view of the managers surveyed. Almost three out of four are in favour of external audits to monitor companies' compliance with legal requirements for environmental and climate protection<\/strong> can (72 per cent). Testing organisations such as T\u00dcV are therefore making an important contribution to the sustainable transformation.<\/p>
