Climate Hours Initiative
The Climate Hours Initiative builds core sustainability competencies and supports companies and their employees in driving the sustainability transformation. Hands-on, applied, and powered by a cross-company spirit.
Climate Hours Initiative
Together we bring climate competencies into your company and empower your employees to lay the foundation for a sustainable transformation.
• Practical content: knowledge & awareness from leading experts
• Best practices: exchange with ESG leaders from top companies
• Lever for change: sensitising the workforce and activating the supply chain
• CSRD integration: support for reporting requirements
• Stronger brand perception: media coverage and reach via KURIER
In 2024 the Climate Hours Initiative reached over 250 companies and trained thousands of employees.
Why we are part of the Climate Hours Initiative
Around 2,000 Austrian companies face the challenge of adapting their sustainability strategy and reporting to current developments. While a possible weakening of the CSRD through the Omnibus update creates uncertainty, sustainability reporting remains a central strategic issue for many companies. Last year the initiative reached over 250 companies and trained thousands of employees.
This year we want to continue this successful partnership to actively support companies on their path to greater sustainability, transparency and future-oriented reporting.
As TPA, we enable our business clients and partners to inspire their employees and acquire the necessary competencies for reporting as well as fundamental sustainability knowledge. This accelerates the green transition in companies.
Glacier and Kurier initiate the Climate Hours with their comprehensive expertise, climate competence and strong media presence and reach.
The climate challenge
The climate crisis and growing ESG requirements affect large corporations and SMEs alike, demand measurable sustainability actions and offer opportunities for a comprehensive, green transformation.
