What the Project Is
Better Green is a consultancy dedicated to helping businesses and organizations meet international requirements for measuring, documenting, and improving their environmental and climate impact. This project focuses on providing a wide range of environmental services from climate accounting to life cycle assessment, ensuring that clients achieve full transparency and compliance with recognized standards such as the GHG protocol. With offices located in both Aalborg (North Jutland) and Virum (Zealand), Better Green has established itself as a trusted partner for many types of companies – from large manufacturing firms to smaller trade and service entities. This initiative also supports environmental communications and strategy, offering expertise not only in certification processes such as FSC® or PEFC but also in digital tools, ESG and CSRD reporting, and EUDR compliance. The project’s aim is clear: to help companies meet the demands of the planet, customers, and legislation while building a pathway towards a circular economy.

Climate Accounting and Methodology
At the core of the project is the climate accounting service. Better Green prepares a comprehensive climate account for each client based on international and recognized standards like the GHG protocol. The climate account is delivered in a detailed report that includes robust accounting practices. This transparent approach enables businesses to clearly see where their environmental impacts lie and what measures need to be taken. Think of it as a clear snapshot of a company’s carbon footprint – and it’s a useful tool in the journey towards sustainability. Clients receive not just a report, but also guidance on improving their overall CO2 management and setting solid strategic plans for future environmental performance.
Life Cycle Assessment and Environmental Strategy
The project also shines in assisting companies with life cycle assessment (LCA) and the preparation of environmental product declarations (EPD) for their products. These evaluations encompass every stage of a product’s life, ensuring that every link in the chain of production, usage, and disposal is considered from an environmental perspective. It’s all about understanding the full environmental impact of a product – a fundamental step in steering towards a more circular economy. Businesses benefit from clear insights into energy usage, environmental dynamics, and can align their strategies with international best practices and standards, such as ISO compliance and FSC or PEFC certification.
Certification and Digital Platform Integration
Another critical facet of this project involves helping companies prepare for, or improve, their certification processes – be it FSC® or PEFC certification. There is also a strong focus on leveraging digital tools that consolidate various data and reporting requirements into one accessible platform. The new digital platform, launched as part of the project, offers an engaging way to manage ESG and CSRD reporting requirements. With efficiency and transparency at its forefront, the digital platform integrates all necessary data points so that companies can effortlessly track their performance against environmental standards. This integration of modern technology ensures that environmental accounting is not only precise but also dynamic in today’s ever-changing business landscape.
Environmental Consulting Expertise and Impact on Sustainability
The Better Green project is a stellar example of environmental consultancy committed to both strategy and communications. The consultancy helps set up procedures for compliance with complex legislative requirements, including those related to EUDR. With each service offering – from greenhouse gas accounting to life cycle assessments – Better Green supports companies in aligning their operations with sustainable practices. This is crucial for businesses operating in various industries because it brings clarity to the environmental impact while effectively managing risks related to climate and sustainability. The consultancy’s deep knowledge of environmental metrics ensures that businesses are equipped to face the challenges of a rapidly evolving legislative and market environment.
