Do you provide assurance over ESG reports?

No. Independent assurance must come from a separate provider. We prepare the data, controls and evidence so assurance can be obtained, and we do not audit our own preparation work.

How do you handle estimates?

Estimates are legitimate where measurement is not yet possible, provided the method and uncertainty are disclosed. We document the basis so the estimate can be defended and improved.

How does a esg reporting & disclosures engagement start?

With a short discovery conversation and a written view of scope, risk and the decisions to be made. That view is useful to you whether or not the work continues.

How is a esg reporting & disclosures engagement priced?

Scope and, where relevant, rules of engagement are agreed in writing before any work begins, and the engagement is a fixed fee for that scope or phased with a cost envelope per phase — so you know the cost and the boundaries up front. Larger pieces of work are broken into phases with findings delivered early rather than a single invoice at the end.

ESG Reporting & Disclosures

We prepare ESG disclosures with a defined source and a control behind every number, so the report withstands both investor reading and assurance scrutiny. The work begins with precise metric definitions and the audit trail that supports them, because most disclosure problems are traceability problems rather than drafting problems. We draft narrative that meets the framework without over-claiming, and we assemble the evidence an assurance provider will ask for before they ask. What we do not do is provide the assurance opinion ourselves; our role is to make it achievable.

In short

ESG reporting and disclosures produce statements that are complete, comparable and traceable to evidence. Every figure should carry a defined source and a control behind it, not just a plausible number on the page.

What we do

The work inside esg reporting & disclosures.

Metric definitions

We define each metric with its boundary, calculation basis and data source recorded in one place. A shared definition is what stops the same indicator being computed two ways in two documents and undermining the whole report.

Data collection and controls

We establish collection with review and approval at the point the data is produced, not reconstructed months later. Controls built into the moment of capture are far cheaper and more reliable than a reconciliation exercise at year end.

Narrative and framework alignment

We draft disclosure that meets the framework's requirements without over-claiming or straying beyond the evidence. Restrained, accurate narrative reads as more credible to investors than language that promises more than the data shows.

Assurance readiness

We assemble the audit trail an assurance provider will request, so the engagement runs on evidence rather than scramble. Preparing the pack in advance shortens the assurance process and reduces the findings raised against it.

How an engagement runs

Discover, assess, design, deliver.

01
Discover
Understand your sector, stakeholders, existing commitments, and the requests you are receiving. We establish who is asking you for ESG information and what you have already committed to publicly, so the work answers real pressure rather than a generic checklist.
02
Assess
Review material topics, current data, governance, and the gap to the reporting you need to produce. We report plainly where your current numbers would not withstand scrutiny and what it would take to close the gap.
03
Design
Define metrics, ownership, data flows, controls, and a reporting approach you can repeat. The design fixes how each number is produced and who owns it, so reporting becomes a repeatable process rather than an annual scramble.
04
Deliver
Implement the measurement and governance changes, and review disclosures against the evidence. We test every public claim against its source before publication, so what you disclose is what you can defend.

Sustainability Reporting

Sustainability reporting communicates environmental and social performance to investors, customers and regulators with consistent data. Consistency across sites and years is what lets readers compare, and comparability is where most reports quietly fail.

Carbon Accounting & GHG Emissions Assessment

Carbon accounting quantifies greenhouse gas emissions across scopes 1, 2 and 3 with documented boundaries and factors. A credible inventory is one that can be reproduced from the same source data by someone who did not build it.

Net-Zero & Decarbonization Strategy

Net-zero and decarbonisation strategy sets a credible pathway of actual emission reductions, with residual emissions treated honestly. A date on its own is not a strategy; the pathway that gets you there is.
