Transforming for the future
It is becoming increasingly necessary for organisations to take matters of sustainability to hand. The risks facing these companies are getting bigger and more complex as a result of climate change, pandemics, increased digitisation and global logistics chains. These growing risks have triggered a demand in society from consumers, investors and politicians for transparency and accountability on environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects. Basically, what impact do public organisations and businesses, including industry, have on the environment and our societies – and, more specifically, what is your organisation’s impact?
Comply with ESG
BDO has broad expertise in the area of sustainability, both at home and abroad. Our ESG professionals can help you transition to a more sustainable business and offer support in the corresponding integrated reporting and assurance to ensure a sustainable future for your organisation. We can also support you with changing laws and regulations in this area. We take a hands-on approach, aimed at value creation as well as risk management.
Our ESG services are structured around the themes of transition, reporting and assurance. For each theme, some examples are included of possible services that we can offer you. You can find them on the right side of this page.
Sustainability Readiness Tool
How sustainable is your organisation? Would you like to find out, or do you have plans to spend even more energy on creating a more sustainable organisation? Our Sustainability Readiness Tool can help.
Our Sustainability Readiness Tool is specifically designed to assess your organisation’s activities with regard to the United Nations’ global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs encourage businesses to place sustainable development at the heart of their strategy. They have created a uniform language that is globally recognised and endorsed, that organisations can steer by and align their strategy with. The Readiness Tool also assesses your organisation’s maturity in terms of sustainability. The assessment can be completed periodically to measure the progress your organisation has made in this transformation process.
After completing the assessment, you will immediately receive a report showing your ‘Sustainability Readiness’. You will also receive some practical advice and best practices to support you in the next steps towards building an even more sustainable organisation. All organisations that complete the Readiness Tool are offered a free consultation to discuss the results. Completing the assessment will take only 20 minutes of your time.
The BDO Sustainability Readiness Tool was initially developed by BDO, for use by all our firms to assess an organisation’s sustainability readiness.
