Sustainability disclosures and assurance
Challenges in report assurance for finance
In today’s transparency-driven business landscape, sustainability reporting is no longer optional; it’s expected. Stakeholders, regulators, and investors increasingly demand credible and comparable non-financial information to assess a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.
As regulatory frameworks evolve and scrutiny intensifies, organizations face growing pressure to demonstrate integrity and accountability in their sustainability communications.
