Assurance of sustainability reports

Independent assurance of sustainability reports increases stakeholder trust in ESG information and promotes the sustainable development of the environment and society. We have extensive experience in the assurance of sustainability reports and carbon footprint calculations. Our sustainability reporting assurance experts verify your sustainability report in accordance with international assurance standards.

Our sustainability reporting assurance teams consist of both local and international experts. In carrying out assurance assignments, we use experienced auditors as well as other environmental experts.

Mandatory assurance

The entry into force of the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will make the assurance of sustainability disclosures mandatory going forward. Sustainability reporting in compliance with the CSRD requires assurance by an independent assurance provider.

Mandatory assurance means that companies commit to third-party assurance of their sustainability reports prior to their publication. This increases the trust of investors, stakeholders and other parties in the company’s sustainability reporting and contributes to the achievement of sustainability targets.

Pre-assurance

Our pre-assurance service typically includes the pre-assurance of the double materiality assessment and the carbon footprint calculation model, as well as guidance on the next steps to be taken. The double materiality assessment identifies the material sustainability themes of the company's operations and the reportable data points. The carbon footprint calculation model is used to assess the company’s environmental impacts. We also provide guidance on the next steps to be taken so that the company can ensure the quality of its sustainability reporting and satisfy the regulatory requirements.

The aim of pre-assurance is to ensure the successful implementation of the CSRD. We always customise our pre-assurance service according to the needs of the client. This ensures that our pre-assurance service meets the specific needs of your company and helps you to further improve the quality of your sustainability reporting.
