Non-financial reporting is increasingly important for organisations as it helps to build trust and enhances credibility. It allows companies and organisations to demonstrate how they perform in terms of their environmental and social impact, supply chain, diversity, and other areas of sustainability. We provide a full range of sustainability reporting and assurance solutions that will help you tell your story in a meaningful and authentic way.
Organisations today are paying greater attention to non-financial reporting in response to new regulations and stakeholder demand. There are clear benefits to non-financial reporting. It allows companies and organisations to demonstrate their sustainability credentials as well as prove their stakeholder engagement. Along with this, entities that score well on key sustainability metrics are often more likely to outperform the profitability of their peers over the long term.
In Switzerland, the counter-project for the Responsible Business Initiative requires some Swiss companies to disclose non-financial information, with human rights, notably child labor, and environmental due diligence reporting obligations for companies trading or processing minerals and metals. These new duties of diligence came into force on 1 January 2022.

With non-financial reporting becoming mandatory in some jurisdictions, it has placed more emphasis on assurance to provide greater confidence in the credibility of an organisation reporting. You may need auditing services for your corporate social responsibility reports, certification of green and social bonds, or assurance for carbon reports.

Our skilled team can help you identify the material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) themes relevant to your business, using tried and tested techniques, sustainability frameworks and internationally recognised guidelines.
