Make your ESG numbers as trustworthy as your financials

Turn sustainability commitments into evidenced, assurable reporting.

ESG disclosures are becoming regulated, assured and scrutinised. We review the governance, data and controls behind your sustainability reporting, align it to BRSR, CSRD, GRI and ISSB expectations, and help you build reporting that can withstand independent assurance.

Boardroom reviewing ESG and sustainability reporting assurance

Who this is for

Built for the people who answer for it.

Listed and large organisations

Subject to BRSR, CSRD or similar mandatory sustainability-reporting regimes.

Sustainability & finance teams

That must produce ESG data that is accurate, consistent and defensible under assurance.

Boards and investors

That need confidence ESG claims are evidenced, not greenwashed.

Business risks addressed

What this assessment helps you find.

  • ESG data gathered in spreadsheets with no controls or audit trail.
  • Disclosures that cannot be substantiated when assurance providers test them.
  • Misalignment with the applicable framework (BRSR, CSRD, GRI, ISSB).
  • Greenwashing exposure — claims the evidence does not support.
  • Governance over ESG reporting that is informal or undocumented.

  • Review ESG data flows, sources and controls.
