ESG services
ESG strategy is a holistic corporate strategy that helps create long-term value for all stakeholders. It is aligned with business goals and builds resilience to thrive in a future of social and environmental change. Our ESG strategy solutions typically include an assessment and strategy development phase that establishes ESG transformation goals, objectives, and a high-level action plan.
ESG due diligence is a comprehensive assessment of ESG risks, liabilities and opportunities that are significant to the asset. We can help clients identify and mitigate potential ESG risks and opportunities arising from ESG issues in both buy and sell transactions, refinancing rounds and IPOs. ESG due diligence follows a standardized approach tailored to the specifics of the client, target and sector.
KPMG has a network of specialists providing tax and legal ESG services to clients. ESG's tax and legal experts help clients understand and adapt to new and emerging changes in the tax and legal environment. We enable companies to understand and take new compliance and accountability actions while navigating the changing international tax and legal landscape, often through our proprietary technology solutions. We also help clients with tax and legal issues related to transformation.
An ESG or Sustainability Report is an annual non-financial report that a company publishes to document and communicate to stakeholders (eg capital markets, shareholders, consumers, communities, etc.) the company's progress towards ESG goals. We help our clients prepare and deliver sustainability reports to meet regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.
During the assessment of readiness for external assurance, it is determined whether the necessary prerequisites for ESG assurance are provided, which would allow the client to ensure the company's smooth and correct sustainability reporting in the future. We examine the criteria for the client organization's ESG measures and determine whether they have the evidence necessary to support the disclosures. Such preparation will reduce the client's risks when it is necessary to ensure the provision of information in the future.
The information provided by companies must be reliable and independently ensured in order to be trusted by investors, stakeholders and the public. And when the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into force, external assurance became mandatory. Therefore, we understand our responsibility in providing such an assurance service. During this service, we check whether the client's data in the report is reasonable and meets the standards.
