LEAGAL REQUIREMENTS

MARKET MECHANISMS

SOCIAL EXPECTATIONS

Companies face increasing pressure from regulation, markets, and society to make sustainability measurable and verifiable.
We help you address these requirements with structure and clarity – and turn compliance into competitive advantage.

Regulatory requirements: From CSRD to the supply chain act — and how to stay compliant efficiently

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) make sustainability reporting a binding requirement for thousands of companies across Europe.
We help you translate these complex ESG requirements into a clear, auditable reporting structure – efficient, compliant, and ready for assurance.

Beyond reporting, regulations such as the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) and the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) demand that companies identify, assess, and manage environmental and social risks along their value chains.
Our experts support you in building the right processes, data systems, and governance frameworks to meet these due diligence expectations and demonstrate accountability.

Whether you are already in scope or preparing ahead, we make CSRD and ESG compliance a strategic advantage – reducing risk, increasing transparency, and strengthening trust with stakeholders and investors.

Financial and market opportunities: How ESG performance drives access to capital and growth

Banks, investors, and business partners now evaluate companies based on ESG performance – not only for compliance, but as a key indicator of risk and long-term value.
With a clear sustainability strategy and transparent ESG reporting, you can improve your credit rating, secure better financing conditions, and increase your attractiveness to investors.

In the B2B sector, sustainability has become a decisive selection criterion in tenders and supplier assessments.
We help you build a robust ESG management system that meets financial and market expectations – strengthening trust, reducing risk, and creating measurable business value.

Our CSRD and ESG consulting services make your sustainability performance visible, verifiable, and strategically aligned – ensuring you stay competitive in every market.

Supply chain requirements: How ESG transparency secures long-term business

Large corporations now expect their suppliers to demonstrate ESG performance, including carbon footprints, social responsibility, and sustainable business practices.
Companies that can provide this data meet customer expectations, reduce risk, and stay competitive in the supply chain.

Even if your company is not yet directly subject to CSRD reporting, clients and partners will increasingly request sustainability information as part of their supplier due diligence.
We help SMEs establish a structured ESG management and reporting system – making compliance efficient and ensuring that sustainability becomes a business enabler, not an administrative burden.

Your advantage: Transparent ESG reporting strengthens trust with key customers, secures long-term contracts, and positions your company as a reliable, forward-looking partner in sustainable value chains.

Societal expectations: How authentic ESG communication builds trust and attracts talent

Customers, employees, and stakeholders increasingly expect authentic sustainability commitment – not empty promises or greenwashing.

A structured sustainability communication strategy turns your ESG efforts into measurable impact – both externally and internally.
This builds long-term credibility, supports talent acquisition, and positions your company as a responsible and attractive employer in a purpose-driven market.

Our sustainability and ESG consulting helps you translate facts into a compelling story – trusted by customers, employees, and investors alike.

Sustainability as a growth engine: From compliance to competitive advantage

Sustainability is more than compliance – it’s a strategic growth driver.
We help companies turn ESG strategy and data into measurable business performance, using proven frameworks such as GRI, DNK, and SASB.

With a clear sustainability roadmap, robust carbon accounting, and digital ESG management tools, you build a future-proof business model that drives innovation, efficiency, and market trust.
Our consulting supports you in aligning sustainability with core business goals — making it measurable, scalable, and value-creating.

Your advantage: stronger brand equity, access to sustainable finance, and a clear competitive edge in a fast-changing market.

Empowering sustainability managers to lead with clarity and impact

Sustainability Managers are at the core of the sustainability strategy – and at the same time under pressure.

Sustainability Managers play a pivotal role in driving ESG strategy, CSRD compliance, and measurable impact across the organization.
Yet many face the challenge of meeting complex ESG reporting and data management requirements – often without clear structures, sufficient resources, or defined governance.

At Therese Blau, we help Sustainability Managers turn this challenge into an opportunity:
by establishing structured sustainability management systems, aligning CSRD and ESRS processes, and providing the tools and frameworks to lead with confidence.

Your benefit: clarity in your role, measurable progress, and stronger organizational support for your sustainability goals.

Why the role of sustainability manager needs structure
– and how we help build it

In many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the role of Sustainability Manager is still emerging – often without the structures and resources needed to meet growing expectations in CSRD and ESG reporting.

As regulatory requirements such as the CSRD, ESRS, EU Taxonomy, and Supply Chain Act evolve, Sustainability Managers are tasked with aligning data, governance, and strategy – often on their own.

At Therese Blau, we provide the framework, tools, and support to make this role effective:

  • Clarity in ESG responsibilities across management, HR, procurement, and communications
  • Efficient ESG and CSRD reporting systems that reduce complexity and data gaps
  • Capacity building and process integration to move from reporting to real transformation
  • Strategic guidance to turn compliance into measurable sustainability performance

Result: Less pressure, more impact – and a sustainability function that drives real business value.

The name Therese Blau stands for connection, courage, and heritage.
It is more than just a company name – it is a part of our story.

Therese is our daughter’s middle name, inspired by a strong woman who once helped shape one of Munich’s largest breweries of her time. Her courage, integrity, and foresight are meant to guide both our daughter and our own actions – with clarity, strength, and a forward-looking spirit.

Blau – the same word in both Mallorquín and German – evokes the sea surrounding our chosen home of Mallorca and the blue-and-white sky of our German roots.

Thus, Therese Blau became a name that builds bridges – between places, cultures, and people.
A name that embodies what drives us: clarity, courage, and connectedness in everything we do.
