Sustainability reporting and disclosure
73% of global investors say it’s important that ESG-related metrics are independently assured, but only 20% of Canadian organizations have some type of assurance over their ESG information.

Our subject-matter specialists can help you navigate ever-changing regulatory requirements, and our sustainability assurance services can give you and your stakeholders confidence that you are not only compliant but driving value from your corporate reporting. Here are some of the challenges our team can support your organization with:
Sustainability Reporting Services
We can help you navigate the continuously evolving regulatory landscape concerning sustainability reporting requirements, keep you informed of new regulations and share emerging best practices to future-proof your business, including:
Regulatory Reporting Standards Updates
Sustainability is at the core of many conversations as regulatory bodies like ISSB and SEC are releasing new standards that are changing how organizations measure and report their sustainability initiatives and impact. Although those new standards don’t apply in Canada yet, they are shaping the CSA thinking, who may issue a requirement for Canadian companies to report based on the CSSB standards in the near future. We help you keep updated on the new standards as they are released, so you can understand how they may impact your organizations with short videos and key takeaways.

Audit Committee
Audit Committee members have specific needs to fulfill their mandate when it comes to financial reporting. As sustainability is gaining traction with regulatory bodies, the intersection between sustainability and financial reporting is growing, and sustainability reporting is being subjected to the same level of rigor as financial reporting.
To help you navigate those changes, our Sustainability Co-leads Nura Taef and Chris Wood have developed a short video and a report that give you the top 5 questions you should be asking to ensure your organization is prepared for the changes ahead.
