UMSICHTStandardverfahren

UMSICHTStandard is a framework and set of guidelines developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT. It is designed to promote and standardize the assessment and implementation of sustainable practices within organizations. The core of UMSICHTStandard lies in its holistic approach, which considers environmental, economic, and social aspects of sustainability. It aims to provide a structured method for companies to evaluate their current sustainability performance, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies for achieving their sustainability goals.

The framework typically involves a series of steps, starting with an initial assessment of a company's operations and impacts. This is followed by the definition of specific sustainability objectives and the development of action plans to achieve them. UMSICHTStandard emphasizes the importance of data collection and analysis to measure progress and demonstrate the effectiveness of implemented measures. It also encourages stakeholder engagement, recognizing that successful sustainability initiatives often require collaboration with employees, customers, suppliers, and the wider community. The ultimate goal of UMSICHTStandard is to help organizations integrate sustainability into their core business strategy, leading to enhanced resource efficiency, reduced environmental footprint, improved social responsibility, and long-term economic viability.
