Sustainability reporting stands as a crucial pillar in today’s corporate landscape, reflecting your organization’s dedication to responsible business practices. Yet, as stakeholders increasingly demand credibility and accuracy in reported sustainability data, the importance of sustainability reporting assurance cannot be overstated.
As an AccountAbility-accredited assurance provider, we provide third-party external assurance for your sustainability reports. With our expertise, we validate the reliability of your sustainability data and issue an External Assurance Statement in accordance with the AA1000 Assurance Standard. In addition, ECCI also submits a comprehensive internal report that includes findings and recommendations for improvements in your reporting, data collection systems, and processes.
Apart from AA1000 AS, ECCI has also fully incorporated ISAE 3000 guidelines in our approach to assurance planning and execution to ensure high quality and standard of audit. Note that ISAE 3000 is not a regulatory standard that requires the assurance provider to be accredited.
