Sustainability assurance services
EY teams conduct independent assurance procedures over nonfinancial and other ESG disclosures, metrics and reporting. These help you to provide transparency and accountability to your stakeholders, as well as assurance to your management and those charged with governance over the quality of the information provided. Assurance can be provided with reasonable or limited assurance in accordance with global or local standards.
ESG pre-assessments
As companies continue to work to improve their ESG-related reporting, EY teams can help you to conduct pre-assessment engagements to assess the criteria, data, process, systems, and controls used in preparing and reporting ESG disclosures.
ESG pre-assessments can take several forms, but typically focus on:
- Disclosures, data, targets and KPIs relating to ESG and sustainability
- Integrated reports, including ESG and economic disclosures
- Sustainability, ESG or corporate responsibility reports
- Adherence to principles as defined by external or internal standards, or codes of conduct
- Communications to specific stakeholders, or the board related to nonfinancial performance (for example, ESG metrics tied to executive compensation)
- Claims related to social and environmental outcomes of specific products or services
- GHG emissions, including organizational or lifecycle product GHG inventories
- Carbon credits or offset issues under voluntary and regulatory standards
- Green or social impact bonds against agreed criteria
