Key application
areas
NetPlus positions itself as a beacon for companies striving to blend sustainable practices with business prosperity. We specialize in guiding organizations through the evolving maze of sustainability regulations and crafting strategies that anticipate future legal landscapes, ensuring claims are robust and verifiable.
- The new EU legislation will require companies to substantiate the green claims they make in business-to-consumer commercial practices, by complying with a number of requirements regarding their assessment (e.g. taking a life-cycle perspective).
- Organisations are required to strike a careful balance between being compliant with the current law, prepared for anticipated legal change and fulfilling stakeholder requirements for open and transparent communication and engagement around improved sustainability performance.
- Stakeholders have heightened expectations of your business impact. Be they investors, financial shareholders, clients, suppliers, business partners, employees and your future pool of top talent; or the wider business ecosystem of NGOs and civil society groups, communities in which your business is rooted, policy makers locally, regionally, nationally and in Brussels.
- Over-promising in your communications can result in accusations of greenwashing and is increasingly subject to legal and public scrutiny.
- Under-communicating & avoiding the subject – or greenhushing – can result in important stakeholders being uninformed and excluded, with their needs unaddressed and your sustainability advantage unused.
- With our substantial experience in impartial assessment of the Green Claims and other voluntary statements about the sustainability and circularity of your business and European influencer and stakeholder engagement, messaging platforms and corporate communications, NetPlus is ideally placed to help your organisation achieve an effective balance, enabling bullet-proof sustainability claims and open, collaborative and mutually beneficial engagement on sustainability.
- A Circular Value Chain (CVC) is an inclusive integrated network of all stakeholders in the production and delivery of a product or service, including the costumers and prosumers. The Circular European Value Chain (CEVEC) denotes the specific European way of developing value chains so that they fulfil the objectives and satisfy the specific needs in Europe (where these exist), from legal to substantive (i.e. product or service dependent) requirements. CEVECs do not exclude non-European.
- We assist organisations in designing and in establishing new CVCs and CEVECs and facilitate the transformation from the existing value chains. Our support covers all the aspects of the establishment and functioning of a Circular (European) Value Chain. In assuring high-quality assistance, we work with the top experts from the requested domain.
- Europe´s twin transformation of digital and energy infrastructures is radically changing the landscapes in which business operate. Business leaders are charged with competing and sometimes conflicting goals: maintaining or even growing business performance whilst decarbonising operations and managing the risk of an increasingly volatile, insecure and expensive energy supply.
- The transition to renewables heralds cheap and abundant energy, but the journey is fraught with complexity as new players and business models emerge.
- Through a blend of legislative foresight, business and technology advisory, partner ecosystem expertise, stakeholder engagement and energy sector experience, NetPlus helps businesses identify and align with emerging opportunity whilst generating improved visibility on risk factors, enabling targeted mitigating actions.
