90 MINUTES ORIENTATION
Don't do everything.
Only the right thing first.
Customers are asking for CO₂ data, terms like CSRD and VSME are being used internally, and there is growing uncertainty around environmental claims. In 90 minutes, we will sort out what is relevant for your company now, what might become important later – and what can wait for the time being.

WHY ORIENTATION?
The problem is rarely the individual question. It's the order.
A CO₂ footprint can make sense. A sustainability report can too. As can a closer look at your environmental communication. But not all at once – and not always immediately.
Anyone who starts before the purpose and goal are clarified quickly invests time and budget into an answer that nobody needs right now. Conversely, anyone who waits too long has to react under time pressure as soon as customers, banks or tenders demand concrete information.
Clarity is not procrastination. It is the first sensible step.
IF QUESTIONS COME FROM OUTSIDE
ESG often does not begin with a law. But with a question.
Not every one of these questions requires an extensive project. But every one requires a well-thought-out answer.
01
"Can you provide us with CO₂ data?"
A customer or supply chain partner requests specific information on companies or products.
02
"What do we need to submit for this tender?"
New questions about sustainability are emerging – but not all of them are equally relevant to you.
03
'Do we need a report, or just figures for now?'
Internally, CCF, PCF, VSME, or a climate strategy are under discussion.
04
"Can we still say that?"
The website, products or documents contain environmental and climate claims that raise questions.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT AFTER THE CONVERSATION
Every topic gets its place.
A clear order emerges from many open points.
01
Resolve now
Questions where a specific enquiry, decision, or sensitive statement is already present.
02
Schedule for later
Developments you can prepare for without starting a project immediately.
03
Keep an eye on
Topics whose significance for your company has not yet been conclusively determined.
04
Do not prioritise for now
Topics for which there is currently no sufficient reason.
Orientation does not mean knowing everything. Rather, it means knowing the correct order.
HOW IT WORKS
90 minutes. A clear framework. A basis for your decision.
Professional initial consultation in cooperation with Long Story Short GmbH & Co. KG.
Prepare briefly
You let us know which questions, requirements or statements are currently on your mind. An extensive questionnaire is not necessary.
Sort together
We consider your situation, your business model, external expectations and the decisions you need to make.
Clearly move forward – or consciously not
You will receive a compact summary including the key thematic areas and, as a rule, up to five prioritised next steps.

ALREADY DECIDED?
Perhaps you don't even need this call.
If it is already clear what you need, you do not have to book an orientation first. You can then go straight to the appropriate topic.
INDEPENDENT AND SELF-CONTAINED
You are not buying a big project. You are buying clarity on whether you need one.
The 90-minute call is a structured initial consultation for professional guidance. It helps you organise open topics and make a more informed decision on how to proceed.
It is not a substitute for legal advice, a full ESG audit, or operational implementation such as carbon footprinting, materiality analysis or sustainability reporting. If a binding legal assessment is required, this should be obtained separately.
The classification is not bound to any further services. Whether you implement something afterwards, return later, or do nothing for the time being, is entirely up to you.
Even the decision not to start anything now can be a good outcome.
QUESTIONS BEFORE THE FIRST STEP
What many companies currently want to know.
We are probably not subject to CSRD. Can the call still be useful?
Yes. Even without a direct reporting obligation, customers, tenders, banks, supply chains or your own communication can trigger specific questions. In our discussion, we will separate these expectations from topics that are currently not a priority for you.
What can actually be clarified in 90 minutes?
The call does not provide a complete audit. It establishes a clear order of priority for your open questions: what needs attention now, what can wait until later, what should be monitored, and what can wait for the time being?
How do we need to prepare for the conversation?
You do not need to start a data project. A brief description of your company, your open questions and specific requests or statements is enough to get started.
Why not calculate, report or balance the accounts right away?
Because first, it should be clear what the result is needed for, who is supposed to receive it, and what scope is appropriate. The call clarifies this step before time and budget are committed.
Is the classification a form of legal advice?
No. You will receive professional guidance and a decision-making aid. A binding legal review or consultation is not part of this service.
SIMPLY SORT CLEANLY ONCE
Before an open question becomes a major project.
In 90 minutes, we will establish a clear order of priority for the topics currently occupying your company.
