Sustainability
Report Assurance
Providing independent third-party assurance of our clients’ Sustainability Reports to deliver transparency of performance and achievement of key objectives.
Global-level legislative environments, stakeholder expectations and voluntary standards are continually evolving to ensure companies maintain accountability for their impact on the environment and society at large.
Transparent communication relating to company sustainability performance builds trust and support, but only if the stakeholders are confident that the shared information is an honest and true reflection of the company’s Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) performance.
Bureau Veritas provides Assurance of Sustainability Reports (ASR) through independent verification of companies’ reported sustainability statements and compliance criteria.
Accurate reporting on material issues relating to economic, social and environmental topics in accordance with recognised protocols such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is critical to safeguarding company reputational risk while verifying positive performance against key criteria.
