By utilizing odor-relevant data and weather information, they assess potential nuisances in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act.
Periodical Technical Inspection
With Periodical Technical Inspection (PTI), you can ensure that your car, motorcycle, or camper remains safe, compliant with regulations, and roadworthy. Whether it's the initial inspection after three years for new cars or the regular HU every two years, we provide you with clear information about deadlines, sticker colors, typical defects, necessary documents, and follow-up inspections.

Electric cars also have to undergo regular Periodical Technical Inspection. The inspection covers safety-relevant components and special electric car parts such as the battery and high-voltage system. There is no need for an emissions test - this saves time and money.
Permit Management
The construction and operation or modification of a plant according to the Federal Immission Control Act requires a comprehensive permit management. Operators must go through complex application procedures and submit extensive application documents. Current legal framework conditions and the permit status must always be taken into account.

The construction of new facilities may threaten biotopes and habitats, necessitating an official assessment in accordance with Section 44 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act. According to the law, projects are deemed inadmissible if they violate prohibitions without an exception. Furthermore, the requirements for species protected under the Habitats and the Birds Directives must be adhered to.
Supply chains & due diligence obligations
Since 2023, the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act has required organisations to protect human rights and environmental standards throughout their entire supply chain. Through risk management, preventive measures, and grievance mechanisms, violations can be identified and prevented at an early stage. Annual reporting ensures transparency
Sustainability strategy & management
Organisations must integrate sustainability into their strategies and processes for the long term. This requires clear structures with defined responsibilities, measurable objectives, and actionable plans. A sustainable management system facilitates the coordination of initiatives, reduces risks, identifies opportunities early, and builds stakeholder trust through transparent communication.
