Background & challenge
Regulators and investors demand verifiable ESG disclosures. Studies show most finance leaders find gaps in non-financial data, raising greenwashing and compliance concerns. With CSRD, Green Claims, and similar rules tightening, companies must provide traceable, balanced, and evidence-backed ESG reports.
Service overview
As part of the ESG Monitoring Partnership Task Force, we provide annual risk assessments for ESG, sustainability, CSR, and human-rights reports. From an independent perspective (simulating NGO “naming & shaming”), we review disclosures for credibility, balance, and evidence, and help reduce reputational and compliance risk.
