Our Approach
Throughout the verification process, our experts support you in complying with external standards, reaching your individual sustainability goals and cultivating a lasting environmentally and socially conscious mindset. We examine how information is collected, analysed and presented to provide a thorough assessment of your sustainability reporting confirming strengths and identifying areas in need of improvement.
Report Criteria
Because our verification process is structured to reflect the criteria central to sustainability reporting, the information provided in the report must be:
  • Comprehensive: include all data related to social or environmental performance
  • Accurate: utilise robust data suitable for planning and decision making
  • Objective: present data in a balanced manner free from bias
  • Appropriate for comparison: useful for comparison over time or between organisations
In addition, the organisation should establish mechanisms for eliciting and responding to stakeholder feedback regarding the contents of the Corporate Sustainability Report.
