FAQ

Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout ESG Assurance

What is the difference between ESG assurance and ESG consulting?
Consulting helps companies write reports and build systems; assurance is an independent third-party review of report data and disclosures with an assurance statement issued. To ensure independence, both should not be undertaken by the same organization.
Are listed companies required to obtain ESG assurance?
Regulation is gradually tightening: some industries and boards already mandate disclosure, and assurance remains largely voluntary but the trend is clear. Early assurance can improve disclosure quality and capital market recognition.
What is the deliverable of assurance?
An independent assurance statement (which can be published alongside the report) providing conclusions on the accuracy, completeness, and materiality of the report, enhancing its public credibility.
