The true value of independent assurance lies in upholding the integrity of the capital markets by building trust in the quality of information companies disclose. ESG assurance requires the same rigor demanded in your financial statement audit, including understanding the strong link between financial and non-financial information. ESG assurance providers should have the same deep level of understanding of a company’s business model that is required for an audit of financial information. This can help eliminate redundancy, connect risks to each other, and create cost efficiency — in line with your own ESG reporting journey.
KPMG audit professionals can help bridge the gap and provide assurance across a wide range of sectors, frameworks, and metrics to ensure that you can meet the increasing requirements mandated by regulators and expected by stakeholders. Our teams stand ready to serve the public interest in providing ESG assurance over what truly matters.
We offer ESG assurance services for reported sustainability data, which can cover sustainability information prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the EU Taxonomy, as well as other relevant reporting frameworks.
We conduct the assurance of sustainability data in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3000). Assurance procedures, their scope, and timing are planned and executed collaboratively with our specialized experts in various aspects of sustainability reporting. We prepare a written assurance report based on the assurance engagement.
