Global status in 2025
The UN Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025 confirms that 2024 was the hottest year on record, with global temperatures 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels, and that carbon dioxide concentrations are at their highest in over two million years. Climate change is identified as one of the principal forces obstructing progress across the entire 2030 Agenda.

European and Albanian context
The EU Green Deal, CSRD and IFRS S2 are moving climate disclosure from voluntary narrative to assured data. Organisations of every size are expected to measure operational emissions, manage reduction targets and report with discipline — expectations NOVARIC® applies to itself before advising others.
NOVARIC® implementation commitments
- Measure operational greenhouse-gas emissions annually and report them through the ESG reporting cycle in line with GRI and ESRS logic.
- Set and govern reduction targets for energy, travel and procurement emissions under the Green Initiative.
- Align environmental management practice with ISO 14001 principles.
- Integrate climate-risk considerations into the corporate risk register and annual review cycle.
Key performance indicators
Measured through the Manual's 90-indicator register (browse the full register):
- ENV-01 Energy-use intensity per FTE
- ENV-02 Operational GHG emissions (tCO2e)
- ENV-04 Travel-emissions reduction
- RSK-08 Climate-risk register entries reviewed
The Green Initiative establishes a measured emissions baseline, annual reduction targets owned at executive level, and public reporting through the sustainability statement. Progress and shortfalls are reported with equal prominence — the anti-greenwashing discipline applies to climate claims above all.
