      <image:title>Our Vision - Who we are</image:title>
      <image:caption>Addressing climate change is a pressing issue. As per the scientific insights from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report, it’s crucial that we achieve global net-zero CO2 emissions by around 2050, and attain neutrality for all other greenhouse gases as soon as feasible later this century. Taking action against climate change and pledging to sustainability are mandates for our era. Increasingly, consumers are making decisions in the marketplace guided by purpose and sustainability. Millennials and Gen Z exhibit distinct attitudes towards work-life balance and purpose compared to baby boomers, and they show a stronger preference for organisations that demonstrate genuine concern for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Proactively considering and acting on ESG has become even more urgent recently. Regulators, too, are showing a growing interest in ESG. The European Union, through the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, has strengthened the criteria and requirements for companies to report on ESG. Established in 2007, we offer services related to climate change, energy, and sustainability. To cater to our clients, we’ve developed an international network of associated consultants with expert knowledge in various areas: the European Emissions Trading Scheme, Carbon Footprint, Energy, , Non-Financial Disclosure, CSRD, CO2 Performance Ladder, CBAM, decarbonisation or net-zero transition, ESG, and F-gas / CBAM verifications. OUR PROCESS At the onset of every customer relationship, we pose critical questions that set the tone for our collaborative approach. We ask, ‘How can we collaborate to devise a solution that is not only innovative but also addresses risk or process-based challenges?’ and ‘How can we manage the process together in the most effective and creative way to maximize the benefits within the available timeframe?’ These questions underline our commitment to working closely with our clients to deliver tailored, impactful solutions. OUR APPROACH From the very outset, we forge a partnership that is rooted in understanding and addressing the unique needs of our clients and their businesses, rather than merely delivering services. We take immense pride in our distinctive approach, our innovative tools, and the strong partnerships we build. Innovation is at the heart of what we do, and we steadfastly uphold the highest standards of quality and integrity. With us, you’re not just getting a service provider, but a dedicated partner committed to propelling your business forward. OUR GOAL We aspire to be more than just a partner; we aim to be a beacon of sustainability and appreciation in your business journey. We’re here to provide solutions that don’t just answer your questions, but also fuel growth and infuse your business with unparalleled value. OUR MISSION While our reach extends beyond Belgium, we’ve seen an increasing need for our advisory services in carbon emission trading, communication, carbon product labelling, and GHG inventory development. Our mission is to deliver top-tier sustainable solutions in the realms of Climate Change and Corporate Social Responsibility. We achieve this by harnessing our extensive knowledge and international expertise. As we navigate the complexities of energy, emission trading, F-gas reporting, and CBAM declarations, we remain steadfast in our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. We’re not just providing services; we’re partnering with our clients to create a more sustainable and responsible future. — Sven JP Starckx Managing Director / Associate Senior Consultant</image:caption>

      <image:title>CO2 Performance Ladder - In 2009 we were asked by ProRail to assist them in the development of the CO2 PL. Since 2009 till 2019 we were part of the further development/maturing of the instrument and had a seat in the Central College of Experts (CCvD) of the SKAO and contributed to the meetings of the Technical Committee. From the beginning we acted on behalf of the Scheme owner overlooking the quality of certification organisations active as a CO2 PL certifier and fulfilled that role as scheme expert on behalf of the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA)</image:title>

      <image:title>Energy Management Systems - Navigating the New EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The landscape of energy regulation in Europe has changed. Under the recast EED (2023/1791), compliance is no longer determined by the size of your company, but by how much energy you actually consume. If your organization consumes more than 85 TJ (approx. 23.6 GWh) annually, implementing a certified Energy Management System (ISO 50001) is no longer optional—it is a legal requirement. Why ISO 50001? ISO 50001 is the international gold standard for managing and reducing energy consumption. It provides a systematic framework to optimize energy performance, reduce carbon footprints, and significantly lower operational costs. The Deadlines: October 11, 2025: Member States transpose the directive into national law. October 11, 2027: Large energy consumers (&gt;85 TJ) must have a certified EnMS in place. October 11, 2026: energy consumers (&gt;10 TJ &lt;85 TJ) must have a energy audit performed.</image:caption>
