Many global companies will be required to report on their sustainability performance in accordance with mandatory reporting requirements such as:
- Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in the EU
- Climate reporting in accordance with International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, as proposed in Singapore, Australia, Canada, UK, and others
- Climate reporting regulations specific to the U.S. (e.g. California or U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Several of these companies have called on BWD to help them prepare for these requirements efficiently, while also establishing internal procedures that will offer value years into the future. Our expertise derives from experience delivering independently assured sustainability reports for over a decade. Our approach ensures:
- Capacity building that extends from the plant room to the board room
- Avoiding the procedural pitfalls around technicalities such as reporting boundaries, use of estimates, and assurance over both qualitative and quantitative information
- A well-considered process that minimizes risk and makes efficient use of internal resources
When collaborating with companies to prepare for mandatory sustainability reporting, we call on our sustainability strategy expertise to close gaps and ensure excellence in:
- Materiality assessment – using an approach that prepares for double materiality or otherwise
- Scenario analysis and strategy development – climate, nature, circular economy
- Due diligence of environmental and social issues across the value chain
