ISO 14001 / EMAS
Certifications in the field of environmental management

Environmental protection, climate protection and sustainability dominate public discourse more than ever, and are among today's key challenges.
Environmental protection has thus become as important a competitive factor as the quality or price of products and services. The far-sighted and systematic incorporation of environmental aspects into political and business decisions therefore harbors not only ideal values for companies, but also material and financial potential.

Certifications in the field of energy management

A DIN EN ISO 50001-compliant energy management system is a proven tool for increasing the energy efficiency of companies, thereby reducing energy consumption, CO2 emissions and, above all, costs.
Thanks to a systematic approach, the organization continuously improves its energy performance and meets legal requirements. The organization's main energy influencing factors are identified, savings measures and proposals for improvement are drawn up and evaluated, then implemented step by step and developed on an ongoing basis.

ISO/IEC 27001
Certifications in the field of information security

Senior managers in organizations operating an Information Security Management System (ISMS) can sleep easier: a well-established ISMS protects not only IT systems, but also all information within the company, such as the often valuable pool of employee knowledge.

At a time when ISMS is becoming a legal obligation for a growing number of companies, such a system guarantees maximum legal security and protects companies from loss of image by reducing risks.

RSPO Certification of sustainable palm oil

In recent years, palm oil has become the most important vegetable oil on the planet. Almost every second supermarket product contains this natural raw material. On the other hand, palm oil, more than any other vegetable product, is regularly the subject of criticism. To meet global demand, areas of tropical rainforest are being cleared, especially in Indonesia and Malaysia, with far-reaching consequences.
By obtaining RSPO certification for sustainable palm oil, you are ensuring that nature conservation and human rights are better respected on plantations than is required by law. With consumers increasingly aware of product sustainability, your company also benefits from RSPO certification in its corporate communications.

ISSC-EU / REDcert-EU
Certification of biogenic fuels

Sustainable products are increasingly in demand by consumers, and compliance with environmental and social standards is more necessary than ever given the scarcity of resources. Whether for the European fuel and electricity market, or for the food and oleochemical industries, demand is accompanied by an increase in the requirements and expectations of customers and legislators that a product must meet - right along the supply chain.
With voluntary certification schemes such as REDcert-EU and ISCC-EU, companies can prove that the sustainability criteria required by the European Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001/EC - RED II) are met for the production of biofuels from biomass. This guarantees access to the European biofuels market.

REDcert2
Certification in the food and feed sector

With REDcert2, REDcert extends its sustainability certification system to the food and feed market and the material use of biomass. Building on the REDcert EU system, REDcert2 covers further levels of sustainability for the food and feed sector, in particular for biomass foods.
The REDcert2 system applies to the stages of raw material production and collection, trade and processing. Examples of interfaces include cultivation companies, first collectors or land traders, conversion facilities (e.g. oil mills, sugar mills, grain mills, malt factories) and traders.

SURE
Sustainability certification for electricity and heat production

The Sustainable Resources Verification Scheme (SURE) is a voluntary certification system that proves that the sustainability criteria required by the European Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001/EC - RED II) are met for the production of electricity and heat from biomass.
SURE certification gives economic operators easy access to all EU electricity and heat markets and the associated subsidies. In this way, they ensure the sustainable development of new sources of raw materials and help our society to take another step towards greater responsibility for our future.

Emissions trading

The Sustainable Resources Verification Scheme (SURE) is a voluntary certification scheme to prove that the sustainability criteria required by the European Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001/EC - RED II) are met for the production of electricity and heat from biomass.
Emissions trading in Europe was introduced following the Kyoto international agreement on climate change. It is an important element of European environmental policy aimed at achieving the CO2 emissions reduction targets set by the agreement reached in 2015 at the United Nations climate conference in Paris.
All companies required to participate in emissions trading must surrender an emissions permit (also known as a CO2 certificate) for each tonne of CO2 emitted.
The CO2 emissions and allocation data determined each year are recorded in an emissions or allocation data report. This report is then checked and verified by an accredited inspection body to ensure that it is sufficiently secure, compliant and plausible.

Intrusion tests (PENTEST)

Penetration testing is an effective way of protecting yourself against hacker attacks.
We test web and mobile applications, digital health applications (DiGA) and "Sofware as a Medical Device" (SaMD). Using the same means and methods as hackers, we look for weak points in your system or software products.
Pentesting provides valuable information on the state of vulnerability. Especially in combination with ISO 27001, it is well suited to identifying risks and proactively reducing them.

Training

The Academy organizes numerous practical seminarsseminars in-company training and exchanges of experience. Emphasis is placed on qualifying auditors and experts in quality management, environmental and and energy management.
