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 with International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, in effect or proposed in Singapore, Australia, Canada, UK, and other countries
• Climate reporting regulations specific to the U.S. (e.g. California or U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)

Several global companies have called on BWD to help them efficiently prepare for these requirements, while also establishing internal procedures that will offer value years into the future. Our expertise comes from more than a decade of experience delivering independently assured sustainability reports. Our approach:

• Build capacity from the plant room to the board room
• Avoids the procedural pitfalls around technicalities such as reporting boundaries, use of estimates, and assurance over both qualitative and quantitative information
• Ensures 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
