Corporate and Social Responsibility
A key driver in optimising business value – make sure your CSR procedures are accurate and effective.
Background
Over the past fifteen years, Corporate Social Responsibility statements and related Environmental and Health & Safety reports have grown in both importance and scope. Today, every large organisation and many smaller enterprises consider their CSR reporting extremely seriously and regard it as a key driver of business value. Verification and assurance of CSR disclosures hence also increasingly becomes valued and a key discriminator of “real” commitment and action.
Our Role - Verification and Assurance
As the value of CSR reporting has increased, so has the requirement and pressures for accuracy, validity and materiality. Many CSR reports are self-declared or verified, but an increasing number of large and medium size enterprises have sought external assurance or verification both as a means of providing internal assurance of accuracy and to communicate externally with greater confidence and substantivity.
