Germany questions
01Does the EU sustainability reporting rule apply directly to my German company?
That depends on company size, status, timing, and current implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Many companies outside direct scope still receive customer data requests.
02Why are German suppliers being asked for emissions data?
Customers covered by the EU sustainability reporting rule or internal climate programs may ask suppliers for energy and emissions data to improve their value-chain reporting.
03Which UBA electricity factor should I use?
The calculator uses UBA's 2025 estimated direct greenhouse gas factor for the German electricity mix. Check the request method before formal use.
04Can this calculator help with a European value-chain request?
Yes. It can identify the data you have, the gaps you need to close, and the assumptions to explain to a customer.
05What records should I keep before submitting emissions to a customer?
Keep electricity and gas bills, fuel receipts, fleet logs, refrigerant service records, travel exports, waste invoices, and notes on which sites and entities you counted.
