Reporting and assurance

Sustainability/ESG reporting¹ has become increasingly important for companies aiming to demonstrate their commitment, actions and goals linked to corporate responsibility. It is turning into a crucial element of brand credibility and reputation.

Sustainability/ESG reporting is no longer a luxury. It is a material aspect born out of stakeholders’ expectations, organizational strategic goals, and expanding regulations. Start your sustainability journey with a readiness assessment.

• Organizations increasingly need to show their ESG credentials in integrated reports, whether voluntarily or due to regulations.
• A company that approaches ESG holistically can better achieve its corporate responsibility objections while reporting on both its impact on sustainability and how sustainability factors impact its financial performance (Double Materiality).
• Reporting could mark the beginning, middle or end of your ESG path, being a recurrent exercise in the continuous process that is the Sustainability Journey, which often starts with a readiness assessment and advances to assurance
• The current structure of sustainability reports varies depending on the standards/frameworks used and/or each company’s preference structure. Companies that score well on key sustainability metrics are more likely to outperform their peers in profitability.
