Sustainability Report Assurance
In recent years, corporate environmental and social responsibility has risen to the forefront of company concerns. Increases in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) investment, more scrutiny of corporate governance and a greater demand for transparency now means that Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development issues have gained a firm place on the agenda of Boards and senior management worldwide.
Working with an independent body provides an objective view of your sustainability reporting and reassures stakeholders that the information is accurate and free of bias. Beyond verifying report data, independent assurance also ensures that the right kind of information is communicated. As each company’s sustainability strategy is unique, Bureau Veritas Certification delivers personalized and robust assurance solutions that reflect each client’s individual needs. The result is legitimate and credible sustainability reporting, which enables internal and external stakeholders to confidently make informed judgments, decisions and actions.
