ESG Assurance
Companies are under increasing pressure to openly share their long-term ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) plans. Governments and stakeholders are pushing for clear and honest disclosures about a company's commitment to ethical practices. Investors, suppliers, customers, and employees all want to know the values and goals of the businesses they are associated with. This has led to a significant rise in the attention given to and reporting of non-financial metrics. It has also resulted in the adoption of a wide variety of ESG goals and guidelines, which can differ based on the sector, size, and complexity of a business.
