Sustainability reporting & assurance

Non-financial reporting is increasingly important for companies as it helps to build trust and enhances credibility. It helps companies demonstrate how they are performing in terms of their environmental and social impact, supply chain, corporate diversity, and other areas of sustainability. We provide a full range of sustainability reporting solutions that will help you to tell your story in a way that is meaningful and authentic.

Our approach

Companies 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 to demonstrate their sustainability credentials as well as prove their stakeholder engagement. Along with this, companies that score well on key sustainability metrics are often more likely to outperform the profitability of their peers over the long-term.

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

At Forvis Mazars, we have a long track record of helping organisations of all sizes to structure and improve their sustainability reporting or gain necessary certifications. 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 established guidelines.

While some organisations have moved to an integrated reporting approach, others continue to document their non-financial reporting separately. Whatever your preference, our team will align its working methods with yours to ensure your non-financial reporting is the best that it can be. At all times, our focus is on tailoring our approach to suit your needs and providing solutions that help you to meet your objectives.
