The non-financial performance of organizations is increasingly relevant to the various stakeholders, namely the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.
With the publication of European Directive 2022/2464 on corporate sustainability reporting, the number of companies required to report sustainability information has increased, and the reported information shall be verified by an independent third party.
APCER offers two types of services to support organizations in fulfilling these obligations:
- Support in preparing Sustainability Reports through consultancy: We support the communication of your company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance by identifying improvement opportunities and creating a narrative that reflects the values and commitments of your organization. This report is an essential tool to consolidate trust with investors, clients, and other strategic partners.
- Verification of sustainability reports and disclosures: Prepared in accordance with ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards), GRI - Global Reporting Initiative, or other recognized reporting standards, as well as those defined by the organization. These globally recognized frameworks identify the principles for organizations to make their activities and management more sustainable by setting goals, measuring performance, and managing change. These standards also outline the content for preparing sustainability disclosures and reports, through which organizations disclose their positive and negative impacts on the environment, society, and economy, as well as the commitments made to improve their performance. For verification purposes, APCER performs these verifications in accordance with the standards of AccountAbility, particularly the AA1000 Assurance Standard, being a licensed verification body by that entity.
