Stakeholders of all kinds are increasingly considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues as part of their decision making. At the same time, regulations are requiring greater transparency and reporting in areas such as employee diversity, modern slavery and carbon emissions. Businesses who thoroughly consider and respond to ESG risks and opportunities, and engage and report effectively to their stakeholders on these matters, will be better positioned for future success.
We are committed to integrating ESG into our own business processes and activities, as set out in our ESG Policy, and are proud to support our clients on their own ESG journeys.
A cornerstone of any business’ ESG response is providing quality, verified data and our team is here to support you by providing independent assurance to your ESG reporting, turning it into a business advantage.
We will help you understand and assess the latest developments in regulatory requirements and industry best practice, develop your data gathering and reporting approach and related controls, and provide independent assurance over your ESG data whether reported publicly or to specific stakeholders such as investors, lenders or regulators.
