ESG Reporting and Assurance Services
A comprehensive ESG reporting strategy can go beyond compliance to enhance trust, mitigate risk, and create value.
Developing and managing an ESG strategy based on your company's reporting and data that aligns with standards is critical to demonstrating credibility in the marketplace.
Investors and stakeholders are demanding meaningful ESG reporting practices within organizations that demonstrate a clear strategy and drive accountability.
An ESG reporting strategy based on your company's unique activities and data that aligns with regulatory standards can enhance trust, mitigate risk, and unlock new value as you build a sustainable future, keeping you ahead of the curve.
Benchmarking, metrics, and ratings against peers and industry trends gives your company an understanding of how you stack up against your competitors and other companies in your industry.
The demand from investors for more ESG transparency and accountability, together with regulatory changes around the world, creates a broad range of challenges. At KPMG, we are able to help you prepare for the new era of ESG reporting. See how:
ESG Reporting and Assurance Services
As the focus and scrutiny on ESG-related risk and compliance intensifies, investors, stakeholders, and regulators are demanding more accountability on ESG matters such as responsible resource use, impacts on nature, climate change, human rights, reorientation of capital, corporate governance, and others. Having a strong ESG reporting strategy—and the corresponding assurance over that reporting—will help you meet investor expectations and drive transparency into the capital markets.
At KPMG, we think the path to assurance comprises three main stages: transformation, reporting, and assurance. Below outlines our approach to reporting and assurance to help you create long-term value.
1
Transformation
