Sustainability Reporting and Assurance Services
A comprehensive sustainability reporting strategy can go beyond compliance to enhance trust, mitigate risk, and create value.
Developing and managing an sustainability 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 sustainability reporting practices within organizations that demonstrate a clear strategy and drive accountability.
An sustainability 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.

The demand from investors for more sustainability 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 sustainability reporting. See how:
Sustainability Reporting and Assurance Services
As the focus and scrutiny on sustainability-related risk and compliance intensifies, investors, stakeholders, and regulators are demanding more accountability on sustainability matters such as responsible resource use, impacts on nature, climate change, human rights, reorientation of capital, corporate governance, and others.
