Companies increasingly see it as their responsibility to implement emission reduction measures. For example, around 89% of German car dealers state that they are pursuing specific sustainability targets.
Not only does climate protection represent an ethical obligation, but requirements from product manufacturers or legal regulations, such as those relating to ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues, are also forcing companies to act. Investors and customers are attaching increasing importance to sustainable business practices. Companies that reduce their emissions can improve their ESG ratings, which in turn strengthens stakeholder confidence and increases competitiveness. In addition, companies can benefit from government support programs and incentives aimed at promoting sustainable practices (e.g. KfW loans). This can lead to improved financial performance and stronger positioning in the market.

As there are countless measures available to reduce emissions, many companies rightly ask themselves how to prioritize suitable measures.
The BCON ZERO strategy provides crucial assistance in this regard. After determining the current CO2 footprint, measures are prioritized. The measures are structured according to their emission-reducing effect and the cost to the company. As a result, the measures can be assigned to four different clusters, which also reflect the prioritization.
How far a company progresses from cluster one to cluster four depends heavily on its individual goals and preferences.
In summary, it can be said that the BCON ZERO strategy represents a comprehensive consulting approach in energy consulting. It includes the identification of the current CO2 footprint and energy weaknesses, the development of a suitable action plan by trained energy consultants based on this, and finally a fully digital ESG rating based on a wide range of criteria.
This results in improved energy efficiency, which not only reduces the carbon footprint, but also leads to cost savings and improved profitability for building owners.
