The Transparency Act is an important tool for promoting responsibility in business, and it also includes the environmental aspect. The law requires companies to be transparent about how they safeguard both human rights and the environment in their value chain. This means that companies must document their environmental measures and how they reduce their environmental impact throughout the entire production process.
The Transparency Act focuses on transparency in business and industry, and imposes a responsibility on larger businesses to have control over their supply chains.
The law requires companies to conduct due diligence to ensure they meet both human rights and environmental standards. For companies, this means they must be able to demonstrate how they are working to reduce their environmental footprint, whether through supplier selection, manufacturing processes or sustainable products.
The law applies to larger businesses, including those certified under the Environmental Lighthouse, that meet specific criteria such as number of employees, turnover, or balance sheet total. Businesses that have a significant impact on the environment through their operations or supply chain must ensure that their practices are in line with the requirements set by the law.
Companies that fall under the Transparency Act must report on their due diligence assessments. This includes how they manage environmental impact and what measures they have implemented to reduce their carbon footprint. Energihuset can assist in preparing environmental reports that meet the requirements of the Transparency Act, and ensure that your company follows best practices in sustainability.
The Transparency Act came into force on 1 July 2022. Companies must now ensure that they have the necessary systems in place to comply with the requirements. For those covered by the Act, it is crucial to have a clear strategy for addressing both human rights and environmental aspects in their operations.
An Energy Audit is conducted in several steps.
First, our experts collect data on the building's energy consumption, technical installations, and operational procedures.
Subsequently, a physical and detailed inspection of the building is performed.
These data are then analyzed to identify patterns and deviations that may indicate inefficient energy consumption. This includes evaluating heating and cooling systems, lighting, ventilation, and the use of electrical appliances.
