Sustainability Assurance

Independent verification lends credibility to sustainability reports

 

As stakeholders’ awareness of sustainability and climate change issues increase, so too do their expectations that organisations will be rigorous, objective and open about their sustainability and carbon impacts. Assurance provides independent verification of an organisation’s sustainability and carbon reduction claims, and can reassure stakeholders that the organisation’s reports and systems are robust.

 

FuturoFirma utilises established and globally recognised frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the AA 1000 Assurance standard, to undertake rigorous audits and assurance of sustainability and carbon reports.

 

Benefits of assuring sustainability and carbon reduction reports:

 

  bullet

Provides credibility:
Independent verification of sustainability performance assures stakeholders of the veracity of an organisation’s reports and claims about its impacts. It also demonstrates that an organisation’s underlying processes, technologies and monitoring frameworks
are robust.

Demonstrates commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction: The willingness of an organisation to have its processes and reports checked by a third party, reflects the organisation’s own belief in the information that it is putting out in the public domain; and also demonstrates a willingness to continuously improve its sustainability and carbon reduction performance.

Helps decision-making: Credible and independently verified information can give senior management the comfort to make key decisions around investment in sustainable technologies, processes, etc.

Supports learning and improvement: Rigorous review and challenge of an organisation’s carbon and sustainability information can help to improve its sustainability monitoring mechanisms, particularly in the way data is collected and management systems maintained.
