About Us
Our Story
Viridis Sustainability focuses on ESG and sustainability solutions for companies, investment fund managers, banks and SMEs.
European Union’s Green Deal and related sustainable finance and taxonomy regulations is a major set of recent legislation which will have a significant impact for companies, financial institutions, society and government institutions. Helping clients to adjust their strategy, meet new regulatory requirements and manage stakeholder expectations on sustainability and climate change is our top priority.
We assist clients to navigate through the complexity of the Green Deal regulations, sustainability topics, help to set goals, design an implementation action plan, sustainability accounting policy and reporting and related KPIs to track the progress.
We also help companies with technology solutions that allow companies to automate and digitize their non-financial information tracking and reporting, meet and exceed emerging stakeholder and regulatory requirements and get their ESG journey on the way.
