The goal was to highlight, through concrete examples, the added value that arises from sustainable collaborations between companies, institutions, and associations, and how this can best be measured. The discussion also covered how ecological and social sustainability can be effectively represented following the "Omnibus Regulation" in the CSRD and/or according to the VSME Standard.

Christian Grünhaus gave a presentation on impact measurement and SROI. Other presentations included the CSRD update (Josef Baumüller from TU Wien), the VSME Standard (Leonie Machold from sustainable), environmental impacts of food (Michaela Theurl from the Environment Agency Austria), as well as concrete case studies from Tafel Österreich in agriculture, production, trade, and community catering (Alexandra Gruber).

We thank you for the invitation and look forward to further cooperation with Tafel Österreich, during which we will conduct an SROI analysis of their activities in the coming months!
