Even in times of regulatory changes and uncertainty, strengthening processes and controls remains the backbone of accurate and reliable reporting and is one of the most common “no-regret” actions in the sustainability reporting journey. It builds trust and lays the foundation for thought-out decision making.
We help organizations integrate sustainability reporting into the control environment from the beginning by identifying gaps, implementing scalable practices that ensure consistency and defining clear roles across functions while maintaining a pragmatic perspective. This includes assessing governance, data flows and documentation as well as building processes that align internal reporting with external expectations, ready for external assurance. The process generally begins with the selection of 1 to 3 pilot KPIs, which are used to establish a baseline for evaluating the current process and associated controls. Learnings can then be applied to other KPIs, resulting in enhanced control, credible data and a reporting strategy grounded in long-term value creation.
