Overview

  • What is Sustainability Assurance?

External Assurance is the practice of verifying and validating an organization’s performance disclosed in its sustainability reports. This helps protect the interests of stakeholders and provides a level of comfort to key decision makers, knowing that the information they use for business decisions is reliable and in full compliance with relevant reporting frameworks.

External assurance or verification can provide both report readers and internal managers with increased confidence in the quality of the company’s sustainability performance data.

  • Why do organizations need Sustainability Assurance?

Sustainable Development & Reporting has become the forefront for most organizations. With the growing number of sustainability reports being developed by companies, it becomes essential that the disclosures made in the reports are accurate and reliable for stakeholders to make informed decisions. This entails the credibility of the report and transparency of the organization towards their stakeholders.
