More than ever, stakeholders want to know about an organisation's sustainability performance and how it is accurately reporting on its corporate activities to support climate change, resource scarcity and socially responsible investing. Leaders understand the parallel importance of setting bold sustainability metrics and making sure that open and timely reporting accurately reflects progress made. Assurance from a trusted adviser further earns - and keeps - stakeholders' trust.
Our experienced teams can help you with the following activities:
- Identify and assess the relevant requirements of all your stakeholders
- Undertake internal audits to gauge the effectiveness of your internal controls and measures.
- Provide independent assurance of the data in your sustainability report as well as assurance for regulatory performance purposes, such as EU ETS, RTFO, GHG emissions.
