It\u2019s prudent to start developing plans now for future compliance with the EU\u2019s biodiversity strategy to protect nature and reverse the degradation of ecosystems, as well as the corresponding planned legislative initiatives. New EU policies are transposed into German laws, in the application of which our team already has extensive experience, such as the Act on Nature Conservation and Landscape Management (BNatSchG), the Environmental Impact Assessments Act (UVPG), the Environmental Appeals Act (UmwRG) and the EU\u2019s Water Framework Directive.<\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"txt02-block_48690f4a3e5a7b2930af6c2c93d1d7cd\" class=\"txt02 zierelement-none section-combine acf\/txt02\" >\n    <section>\n        <div class=\"container position-relative\">\n            <div class=\"row scrollreveal\">\n                <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-8 offset-lg-1\">\n                                                                <h2 class=\"title hyphens\">Relevant topics<\/h2>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"tsr03-block_8e5eca04f463cdb3cbf7b8e99e437647\" class=\"tsr03 acf\/tsr03\" >\n\n\n    <section>\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row scrollreveal\">\n                                    <div id=\"tsr03Carousel-tsr03-block_8e5eca04f463cdb3cbf7b8e99e437647\" class=\"carousel slide d-none d-lg-block\" data-ride=\"carousel\">\n                                                    <ol class=\"carousel-indicators\">\n                                                                                                        <li data-target=\"#tsr03Carousel-tsr03-block_8e5eca04f463cdb3cbf7b8e99e437647\" data-slide-to=\"0\" class=\"active\"><\/li>\n                                                                                                        <li data-target=\"#tsr03Carousel-tsr03-block_8e5eca04f463cdb3cbf7b8e99e437647\" data-slide-to=\"1\" class=\"\"><\/li>\n                                                            <\/ol>\n                                                <div class=\"carousel-inner\">\n                                                                                            <div class=\"carousel-item active\">\n                                    <div class=\"container\">\n                                        <div class=\"row\">\n                                            \n                                                \n                                            \n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-4 position-relative no-image-item\">\n                                                                                                                <div class=\"wrapper block-card\">\n                                                                                                                        <h3 class=\"topline\">Circular economy<\/h3>\n                                                            <p>\n                                                                Business reports already play an important regulatory role in the context of ESG.
