Mag.(FH) Andrea Klambauer
After completing my business studies, I worked internationally as a human resources manager and in management consulting for 20 years. My professional experience as an HR manager ranges from Austria to China and from family businesses to global corporations. What connected all professional activites was the challenge of aligning the company's goals with those of the employees and thus achieving the best results. My strategic orientation to combine sustainability in human resources management with economic success is now anchored in sustainability reporting and is one of my consulting focuses.
As a member of the Salzburg state government from 2018 to 2023, I was responsible for housing, elementary education, science and important social areas in Salzburg. I dedicated myself with great commitment to these large, challenging areas and was able to improve the lives of people in Salzburg. The positive response to many implemented measures was worth every effort. As State Councilor for Housing, I managed to achieve climate goals in the important building sector by focusing on renovations and renewable energies. The experience in dealing with legal regulations brings an enormous advantage in my current work with the countless regulations at the European level such as CSRD and ESRS.
Convinced that the transparency legally required by the EU as part of the Green Deal will accelerate the transformation of the economy, I founded Klimabilanz GmbH. The European standards for reporting came into force on January 1st, 2024 and on this day my work for the customers of Klimabilanz GmbH began. I would be happy to incorporate my extensive experience and further training as a Certified Sustainability Expert (CSE) into your sustainability report!

A network of sustainabilty experts: ESG Schmiede
ESG Schmiede is a network of 10 experienced consultants in Salzburg for sustainable business and future-oriented corporate management. We are your implementation partner for sustainability projects, especially with regard to changing legislation and thus increasing reporting requirements.
ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL, GOVERNANCE - ESG for short - these terms stand for the most important issues of our present and future: climate and environmental protection, social responsibility and long-term successful corporate management. The coming years will be characterized for companies by increasing national and international regulations in the area of sustainability as well as increasing expectations from capital markets and customers. This includes the new EU directive on corporate sustainability reporting (CSRD - Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), which will expand the circle of companies required to report to around 2,000 companies in Austria next year. This reporting becomes part of the annual financial statements and thus raises awareness of sustainability in the operational context. Companies now face major challenges in order to comply with the new laws and regulations.
In this context, ESG Schmiede team advises companies comprehensively - from the development of a clear sustainability strategy to CSRD reporting, EU taxonomy, supply chain law, energy consulting as well as ISO and ESG certifications. Our partners professional experiences are extensive and diverse - all with a consulting focus in the area of ESG. The name reflects the belief that sustainability management is shaped individually to suit the company, with precision and a holistic view of the process.
