The stake

Sustainability reporting and social compliance require evidence.

Sustainability reporting obligations bring non-financial information closer to financial reporting requirements: identified sources, traceable data, documented processes, and controls in place.

Social risk also remains an important point of attention: labour law, payroll, contracts, working hours, employment conditions and HR practices can generate financial, social and reputational consequences.

A useful review for deciding

The objective is not to produce an ESG discourse. The objective is to identify gaps, validate data, secure processes, and provide management with a clear vision of priorities.

Our intervention

From ESG governance to social controls.

We cover the subjects that need to be governed, documented, and controlled.

01

ESG Governance

Review of roles, responsibilities, steering processes, committees, and decision-making documentation related to sustainability issues.

02

Data reliability

Assessment of sources, traceability, controls, and consolidation of non-financial data.

03

CSRD Preparation

Gap analysis against applicable obligations, reading of double materiality and compliance roadmap.

04

Social audit

Review of social compliance, HR and payroll processes, contracts, working time and employment conditions.

Monitoring points

Two complementary dimensions: sustainability and social risk.

ESG & sustainability

Ensure the accuracy of the information to be carried forward.

We treat sustainability as information to be managed, not just content to be published.

  • ESG Governance and Role Allocation.
  • Data collection, consolidation, and validation process.
  • Traceability of sources and preservation of evidence.
  • Checks on non-financial data.
  • Gap analysis with regard to the CSRD, where applicable.
  • Roadmap and prioritised recommendations.
Social & HR

Securing an often underestimated risk.

Social audits allow for the objective assessment of the situation and the safeguarding of HR practices within an independent and documented framework.

  • Compliance with applicable legal and contractual obligations.
  • HR and Payroll Processes: Reliability, Controls, and Documentation.
  • Contracts, working hours, and terms of employment.
  • Formation, diversity, and social documentation.
  • Analysis of disparities and exposure to social risk.
  • Prioritised recommendations for management and HR functions.
Deliverables

A clear diagnosis, documented discrepancies and priorities.

The deliverables are designed to be actionable by senior management, sustainability, finance, HR, and control functions.

  • ESG governance diagnostic.
  • Review of sustainability data reliability.
  • Gap analysis with regard to the CSRD, where applicable.
  • Social compliance review.
  • Review of HR and payroll processes.
