Fight for climate protection: EU plans dangerous bus package for companies!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - European politics faces a crucial turn: Today the European Commission presented the so-called “Omnibus package”, a project that promises massive and worrying changes in the area of ​​the EU sustainability rules. As Petra Bayr, SPÖ spokeswoman for global sustainability, emphasizes, attempts are made under the pretext of bureaucracy relief to water down central environmental and social standards. Bayr comments: "A step that is neither economically wise nor politically sensible." The first of three planned packages changes existing laws, in particular the supply chain law, which obliges companies to protect people and nature along their entire supply chain.

A democratic consensus that has been developed over the years is on the brink. "It cannot be that laws can only be put on again because of the pressure of some powerful corporations," criticizes Bayr. The consequences of the climate crisis cannot be ignored; Floods and forest fires are constantly present threats. In the event of a withdrawal of existing obligations, the future would be in high danger in terms of environmental and social responsibility. In addition, a recent leak shows that the goal is clear: companies should be released from civil law, an absolute scandal in the context of entrepreneurial action.

management systems in focus

In parallel to these political developments, the Bavarian State Office for the Environment strengthens the importance of standardized management systems for companies. A new publication provides an overview of relevant standards, which are particularly important for small and medium -sized companies (SMEs) and craft businesses. The overview ranges from quality management to environmental and energy management to risk management and sustainability management. The advantage of certified systems lies in international recognition as well as in the reduction of liability risks and the optimization of processes.

A detailed table is intended to help companies identify the right management system. This is constantly expanded and not only offers descriptions of the individual standards, but also further links to other sources of information. The possibility of navigation through the complex landscape of management systems is crucial for companies in order to effectively live their social responsibility and at the same time optimize their processes, according to the publication, as can be seen on the website of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment.
