Biobased materials are made from renewable biological resources such as wood, hemp, flax, straw and mycelium, supporting circular and regenerative building and design.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardised, independently verified product environmental passport based on a life-cycle assessment.

Double materiality is the CSRD principle that assesses sustainability topics from two sides: impact on people and the environment, and financial relevance for the organisation.

Scope 3 emissions are the indirect value-chain emissions of an organisation, often 70 to 90 percent of the total footprint. The approach, the evidence and the monitoring of scope 3 and circularity for companies, municipalities and provinces.

Critical materials are becoming scarcer. A design-led response reduces dependency through less, smarter and renewable material use at the source.

A baseline measurement only creates value when it leads to a substantiated reduction target and an action plan focused on the largest emission sources.

A social cost-benefit analysis (MKBA) makes the broader value of regional policy measurable, including health, nature, liveability and social cohesion.

Regenerative area development goes beyond climate adaptation by actively restoring soil, water and biodiversity while strengthening climate, nature and economy.

The protein transition shifts from animal-based protein toward more plant-based and sustainable proteins, creating opportunities for health, climate, land use and regional economy.

Short supply chains connect producer and consumer with fewer links, often within one region. They strengthen local economies, transparency and food-system resilience.
