The Green Deal, approved 2020, is a European growth strategy with 6 defined environmental goals. For example, by 2030, CO2 emissions are to be reduced by 55%, and the European continent is to be completely emission-free by 2050. For each major economic sector, the Green Deal describes which measures are to be used to achieve the stated goals. Thus, the Green Deal also informs the respective directives adopted by the EU – and exerts a direct influence on companies in EU member states.
