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.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
Companies choose RYZE Digital because of its combination of data-driven consultancy, bespoke reporting solutions and proven market leadership.
