REPORTING & COMMUNICATIONS
Reporting
We help companies capture and publish your entire sustainability strategy, from policy to measurements, and create reporting and communications approaches to show a sustainability commitment to stakeholders at every level.
We will design the content structure for integrated reporting on your organisation's sustainability, corporate social responsibility, environmental efforts and help to prepare the report.
​
Communication
Walking the talk, we further support you in creating and running sustainability communication strategies and campaigns within and amongst organisations and society. This is augmented by training and personal counselling, where necessary.
​
Assurance
Stakeholder expectations on the reliability, accuracy, and relevance of data disclosure in non-financial reports are increasing. More organisations thus require external assurance on their sustainability information to:
​
-
challenge and confirm views expressed in the annual report as part of the narrative disclosure;
-
complement internal processes - such as internal audit or stakeholder engagement - which are designed to improve business sustainability and boost external stakeholders' trust;
-
enhance the credibility of information with those who use it to make economic and other decisions.
​
We will evaluate your Sustainability Report against the AA1000 Accountability Principles of Inclusivity, Materiality and Responsiveness, and to ensure the accuracy, robustness, and trustworthiness of the chosen scope of reporting through independent review.
