ESG Reporting and Assurance Services
As the focus and scrutiny on ESG-related risk and compliance intensifies, investors, stakeholders, and regulators are demanding more accountability on ESG matters such as responsible resource use, impacts on nature, climate change, human rights, reorientation of capital, corporate governance, and others. Having a strong ESG reporting strategy—and the corresponding assurance over that reporting—will help you meet investor expectations and drive transparency into the capital markets.
At KPMG, we think the path to assurance comprises three main stages: transformation, reporting, and assurance. Below outlines our approach to reporting and assurance to help you create long-term value.
