Sustainability
Communicating sustainability effectively
With our consultancy expertise in the areas of sustainability reporting, ESRS and sustainability communication, we support our clients throughout their sustainability journey. In this way, we guide them reliably towards ESRS-compliant reporting and authentic ESG communication. As leading corporate reporting experts, we combine regulatory ESG strategy consultancy with technological implementation expertise and creative excellence. We support our clients from materiality analysis and GAP analysis, through the drafting of regulatory reporting texts in accordance with ESRS and GRI standards, right through to the design of various communication formats.
When it comes to sustainability communication, we prioritise a data-driven approach. Together with our clients, we uncover the stories behind the key figures and present them in a way that is tailored to the target audience. Our editorial team also ensures that the wording – from the website right through to the report – contains no risks relating to greenwashing or EmpCo.
In doing so, we ensure seamless technological integration into existing processes. As a partner to market-leading disclosure management systems, we are the right choice for our clients when it comes to implementing and designing reporting projects. We also provide our in-house AI suite featuring specialised assistants. In this way, we optimise workflows and make sustainability performance effectively visible to both people and machines through GEO-optimised content structures.
Stakeholder and materiality analysis
We identify our clients’ material ESG issues in accordance with the latest CSRD requirements. Through a structured stakeholder survey and a thorough materiality analysis, we lay the foundations for clear, relevant and compliant sustainability reporting.
ESRS, Ratings & Standards
We provide our clients with expert advice on the regulatory requirements of ESRS, VS and GRI. Our consultants offer guidance, best-practice comparisons and specific content to support high-quality stakeholder communication and CSRD-compliant reporting that is optimised for all relevant ratings.
Sustainability reporting
We draft regulatory reports in accordance with ESRS and GRI standards and provide editorial support throughout the entire report preparation process. Drawing on our in-depth knowledge of corporate reporting, we handle the design and layout of sustainability and annual reports, as well as concise highlight publications.
Strategy & Narrative
A sustainability strategy is most effective when it is communicated in a way that is tailored to the target audience. We develop appropriate content – from a clear core message and an impact report right through to a comprehensive multimedia campaign.
Green Claims, Consistency & Compliance
We optimise sustainability communication using intelligent technologies. Through our in-house AI suite, we provide specialised, data protection-compliant AI assistants – for text creation, data preparation and EmpCo-compliant greenwashing checks. The result
is clear: a consistent message across the entire media portfolio.
Systems & AI
Our in-depth knowledge of the relevant reporting systems makes us the ideal partner for integrating and optimising the use of leading disclosure management systems such as Workiva and Lucanet. We also provide every client with our in-house AI suite, which can be used to create specialised sustainability assistants for all key processes.
We consider RYZE to be a reliable partner with extensive expertise in sustainability strategy and reporting. Working with them has been a real asset to us!

With the Sustainability Report 2025, RYZE is supporting Envalior on its journey towards integrated ESRS reporting and translating complex sustainability content into an accessible format that is true to the brand. The combination of modern design, relevant KPIs and product examples enhances transparency, clarity and Envalior’s positioning.
Our tools for effective communication
As a platform for disclosure management and ESG reporting, Workiva enables the structured collection, consolidation and analysis of sustainability data – including the integration of financial and ESG metrics. Through automated workflows, centralised data storage and comprehensive collaboration features, ESRS-, CSRD- or GRI-compliant reports can be produced efficiently. This makes sustainability reporting transparent, audit-proof and significantly more efficient.
The nuwacom platform forms the basis for the RYZE AI Cockpit and enables the secure, scalable use of AI in marketing and communications. It brings together assistants, autonomous agents and automated workflows in a centralised environment. Thanks to its modular architecture, the platform can be flexibly expanded and seamlessly integrated into existing systems.
RYZE Online Publisher is an InDesign-based editorial system (Woodwing) that is particularly well suited to the creation of high-quality sustainability reports and ESG publications that comply with CD standards. The client and the agency work together within the system on text and layout, enabling complex sustainability content to be produced to a high design standard and with maximum efficiency. The system combines editorial, design and review functions in a single centralised environment, thereby facilitating professional ESG communication.
Lucanet enables the structured collection, consolidation and analysis of ESG data – seamlessly integrated with financial metrics from existing ERP and financial systems. Automated workflows, a dual materiality analysis and the calculation of Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions support the efficient and audit-proof preparation of reports compliant with ESRS, CSRD and VSME. The platform facilitates cross-departmental collaboration and simplifies digital XBRL tagging for regulatory disclosure.

FAQ
What is a materiality analysis?
A materiality analysis identifies the sustainability issues that are most relevant to a company and its stakeholders. It forms the basis for strategy, objectives and reporting.
What is the CSRD?
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that requires companies to disclose comprehensive sustainability information. The aim is to improve transparency and comparability in relation to environmental, social and governance issues.
What are the ESRS?
The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) set out in detail how sustainability information must be reported under the CSRD. They define the content, structure and required metrics for the report.
Which companies are affected by the CSRD?
The CSRD applies to large companies with a turnover of over €450 million and more than 1,000 employees in the EU. Under the CSRD, large, capital market-oriented companies have been required to produce a sustainability report since 2025 (for the 2024 financial year). For companies not oriented towards the capital markets, the reporting obligation comes into force in 2028 (for financial years starting on or after 1 January 2027). The sustainability report must be prepared in accordance with the current version of the ESRS.
What are the benefits of an HTML sustainability report?
HTML reports are interactive, accessible and can be used on all devices. They offer a better user experience, are search engine-friendly – including for AI-powered searches – and are easy to update.
Why is sustainability communication important?
Effective communication highlights sustainability performance, strengthens reputation and fosters trust amongst stakeholders. It helps to ensure that measures are not only implemented internally but are also recognised externally.
What does ‘double materiality’ mean?
Dual materiality considers sustainability from two perspectives: the company’s impact on the environment and society (impact materiality), and the financial impact of sustainability issues on the company (financial materiality).
Why do companies choose RYZE Digital’s reporting solutions?
Companies choose RYZE Digital because of its combination of data-driven consultancy, bespoke reporting solutions and proven market leadership. Being ranked as the number one reporting agency in the DACH region in the PR Report 2024 confirms the high technical and strategic quality of its reporting services.
