Digital ESG

The requirements regarding the thresholds and scope of sustainability reporting (ESG/CSRD) will be amended. In addition to companies that will continue to be required to report in future, other companies will have the opportunity to fulfil the expectations of the capital markets and create transparency for their responsible actions through non-financial reporting.

An important component of non-financial reporting is the reliability and integrity of the data. Consulting and auditing services relating to ESG compliance not only help to fulfil these dynamic requirements and report transparently, but also to increase quality within IT and the respective projects. This can increase efficiency and save costs.

As part of a readiness assessment, data sources and processes, IT landscapes and interfaces as well as control systems are analysed and transferred to a TOM so that optimisation and automation options can be created. A well-defined TOM helps you to achieve your strategic goals, increases efficiency, reduces costs and improves the quality of your services.

This forms the basis for identifying suitable software solutions and the selection process for your transformation.

Our experts provide you with comprehensive advice on project management, design and testing, data migration and go-live. The design and implementation of customised controls ensure that ESG data is recorded, processed and reported correctly.

The absence of IT audits or certifications in sustainability reporting increases the risk of errors. Without regular audits, data integrity and security can be jeopardised and the credibility of the data or reports impaired. In addition, compliance violations and inefficient processes can delay the preparation of reports and cause additional costs.

An IT audit ensures that the processes and software used meet the highest standards and that the data collected is reliable and correct. Among other things, the audit assesses whether the software has been properly implemented and whether appropriate controls have been set up for user management and programme changes. In addition, the operation of IT, including interfaces, is checked.

Regardless of whether your company is required to report or reports voluntarily, transparent reporting strengthens trust, increases attractiveness for investors, improves the company's image, ensures compliance with legal requirements, supports risk management and process optimisation and promotes employee loyalty.
