It is of utmost importance to them if they have been produced under fair conditions and with appropriate remuneration. However, many companies lack transparency in their entire value chain. In order to fulfill their due diligence obligations and reduce CO2 emissions, companies must therefore increase their efforts towards digitization and automation along the entire supply and value chain. The challenges are particularly high for globally active companies. It requires changes in purchasing, adjustments to supplier contracts and audits to ensure that sustainable suppliers are selected. Digitalization plays an important role in this, as it enables end-to-end visibility and predictability. Real-time data management is crucial for a transparent supply chain and the reduction of CO2 emissions.<\/p>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\r\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  intern-zitat-style  zitat-block black-color default-margin default-padding \">\r\n      <div class=\"row zitat-row\">\r\n        <div class=\" image-container g-0 order-1  col-menu-5 col-12 \">\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/en\/team-en\/martina-becker\/\">          <div class=\"img-with-gradient\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"copyright-image\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"atreus_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bec-ma-v1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bec-ma-v1.png 555w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bec-ma-v1-480x600.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" style=\"aspect-ratio:555\/694 !important\" title=\"atreus_\">            <div class=\"linear-gradient-container\"><\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-img-text-container\"><div class=\"zitat-name-container fulltext\"><span>Martina Becker<\/span><\/div><div class=\"zitat-discription-container fulltext\"><span>Director<\/span><\/div><\/div>          <\/a>        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"g-0 zitat-text-container order-2 col-menu-7 col-12 \">\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-text\"><span class=\"zitat-start-icon atreus-font\">D<\/span><p class=\"zw-cgb fulltext\">\u201eThe five steps in climate protection begin with the calculation of the emissions at one&#8217;s own company or the products manufactured in house.\u201c<\/p><\/div>                  <\/div>\r\n\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  textblock black-color zw-content-pos-center  default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content col-12 g-0\">\n          <h2 class=\"zw-cgb headline \"><strong><strong>The path to climate neutrality and the black box in the value chain<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">In order to determine the CO2 balance of a company, the so-called Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) is calculated. The emission sources according to Scope 1, 2 and 3 are recorded.<\/p><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">Companies can achieve climate-neutral Scope 1 and 2 production by investing in new plants and switching to renewable energy. However, Scope 3, indirect CO2 emissions in the value chain, poses the biggest challenge. The sustainable transformation requires not only the change of the company&#8217;s own production processes, but also of the packaging and contents. Sustainably oriented companies are aiming for complete Scope 3 climate neutrality by 2030, which requires a comprehensive transformation of the supply chain. Effective interaction between production processes, packaging and product design is crucial. &nbsp;One solution can be the circular economy, in which companies recycle their products and reduce CO2 consumption during transport.<\/p>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  textblock black-color zw-content-pos-center  default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content col-12 g-0\">\n          <h2 class=\"zw-cgb headline \"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>The challenges of sustainable product development<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">Sustainably oriented manufacturers use the principle of the 4Rs (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Replace) for the development and optimization of new products. However, in the first step, according to the cradle-to-cradle principle, the question of eco-effectiveness is always asked in order to decide what is right.<\/p><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">In order to ensure sustainable product development, the circular economy must already be taken into account in strategic planning and not only at the end as an afterthought. The implementation of the circular economy should be integrated into the entire business process to ensure consumer-centric and sustainable product development. Examples of climate-neutral products are those whose plastic packaging and formulation are made from recycled materials or biodegradable substances. However, due to a lack of recycling systems, a lot of plastic packaging cannot be optimally recycled everywhere and must therefore be incinerated.<\/p><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">Another important aspect is that consumers are often unwilling to spend more money on sustainable products due to the tense market situation. Investments in sustainability are often necessary, for example for the switch to renewable energies and the use of climate-neutral logistics. Sustainable raw materials are often more expensive than conventional ones, which affects the final price. Despite this, recycled plastics account for only one-tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions of virgin plastic, underscoring the importance of sustainability. Manufacturers of sustainable brands are therefore concerned about the growth of low-cost private labels, which often do not meet sustainability standards.<\/p>\r\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  intern-zitat-style  zitat-block black-color default-margin default-padding \">\r\n      <div class=\"row zitat-row\">\r\n        <div class=\" image-container g-0 order-1  col-menu-5 col-12 \">\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/en\/team-en\/martina-becker\/\">          <div class=\"img-with-gradient\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"copyright-image\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"atreus_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bec-ma-v1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bec-ma-v1.png 555w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bec-ma-v1-480x600.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" style=\"aspect-ratio:555\/694 !important\" title=\"atreus_\">            <div class=\"linear-gradient-container\"><\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-img-text-container\"><div class=\"zitat-name-container fulltext\"><span>Martina Becker<\/span><\/div><div class=\"zitat-discription-container fulltext\"><span>Director<\/span><\/div><\/div>          <\/a>        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"g-0 zitat-text-container order-2 col-menu-7 col-12 \">\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-text\"><span class=\"zitat-start-icon atreus-font\">D<\/span><p class=\"zw-cgb fulltext\">\u201eIf you don&#8217;t have the right management in sales to conduct the demanding discussions and negotiations in retail, you will end up in a blind alley.\u201c<\/p><\/div>                  <\/div>\r\n\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  textblock black-color zw-content-pos-center  default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content col-12 g-0\">\n          <h2 class=\"zw-cgb headline \"><strong><strong>Sustainability as a competitive advantage<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">Successful companies remain true to their sustainability agenda despite the tense market situation.
