Assurance and Verification
Investors, regulators, customers, suppliers and the public-at-large need thorough, reliable data to assess an organization’s practices and performance. Third-party assurance and verification builds trust and increases confidence in the quality of the information and data in sustainability reports and ESG disclosures. ISOS Group offers assurance and verification services to meet these needs.
Public-Facing Disclosure
Our third-party reviews result in assurance/verification statements for:
CSRD compliance
Environmental metrics submitted to GRESB
Climate-related data submitted to CDP
Sustainability reports “in accordance” with GRI, including materiality and social metrics
Public disclosures submitted through various investor questionnaires
Internal Due Diligence
GHG Inventory Management Plans (IMP)
Readiness assessments
Internal audit advisory
We are monitoring the evolution of the regulatory requirements regarding assurance as it pertains to the EU CSRD, the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB), the U.S. SEC climate disclosure rule and California’s climate-related disclosure acts, among others. We fully expect to continue our assurance service offering to support these important regulations.
Operationalizing Sustainability
While external forces evolve and key issues shift, internal foundations of sustainability build resilience into an organization and provide the foresight to prepare for the road ahead. This service provides organization leadership with tools to utilize existing sustainability reports to strengthen the organization as a whole.
Strategy Development
The reporting process helps identify risks and opportunities and provides feedback on progress toward strategic objectives. A sustainability strategy goes beyond the practice of annual reporting, utilizing the report as a barometer for long-term goals and value creation. Enterprise-level risk assessments help to determine the most relevant demands on the organization and set strategy accordingly.
As you advance along your sustainability journey, we can assist with:
Climate-related risk assessments
ESG / sustainability and decarbonization strategies
Goals and target setting
Data collection and performance tracking
Awards and recognition submissions
Management Systems
Through various partnerships, including our sister divisions operating under Environ Energy, we have a full suite of services available to you! Our joint expertise can help your organization demonstrate progress and a commitment to ongoing improvement.
