CSRD assurance
Reliable sustainability reporting
To ensure the reliability of sustainability reporting, the annual report must contain a certain level of assurance. Within CROP, a team of specialists is ready to carry out the CSRD audit.
As an ‘assurance provider’, we can provide independent control and (limited) assurance on the non-financial information being reported. This gives stakeholders confidence in the reliability and accuracy of reporting and ensures your organisation complies with legal CSRD requirements. Depending on your needs, our team of specialists can provide support in various ways.
Reporting and (limited) assurance
- Preparing sustainability reports or reports according to applicable reporting standards (e.g. CSRD, ESRS, GRI).
- Perform assurance processes to test the accuracy and reliability of sustainability reports.
- Improve ESG reporting to increase transparency and credibility of sustainability information.
- Improve AO/IB and protocols to meet auditor requirements.
- Pre-assurance CSRD: a preliminary assessment to identify and improve shortcomings and weaknesses in your sustainability reporting before the actual assurance takes place.
ESG Assurance
The demand for clear reporting on ESG (environment, society and good governance) is increasing. Investors, financiers, suppliers and customers want more transparency on your company’s ESG impact. This has led to a variety of ESG targets and reporting frameworks, which differ by sector and company size. As a result, the demand for ESG assurance for, say, your carbon reporting, or sustainability loan has grown strongly.
What is ESG assurance?
ESG assurance is the process of verifying and validating your company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) data. This ensures that the information reported is accurate, reliable and in line with the regulations and expectations of your stakeholders.
