Sustainability reporting

The problem that required a solution

Recognising the growing importance of transparent and credible ESG disclosures, a mining and investment organisation embarked on a comprehensive sustainability reporting journey, engaging with PwC as its trusted assurance advisor to strengthen its ESG reporting practices.  

Our solution for our client

Following stakeholder engagement to identify material sustainability metrics, a thorough review of the organisation’s existing sustainability reporting processes was conducted. This assessment uncovered several critical gaps and issues, highlighting opportunities for improvement. The findings served as a catalyst for change, prompting the organisation to restructure its internal reporting framework and allocate additional resources to enhance the accuracy and completeness of its ESG data.

The impact our solution had

 

Based on PwC’s observations, the organisation initiated a limited assurance engagement on selected sustainability key performance indicators (KPIs). This process led to strengthened internal frameworks and improved data governance, significantly enhancing the credibility and transparency of its ESG disclosures. A notable milestone in the organisation’s reporting evolution was the adoption of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), reflecting its commitment to nature-related risk management and sustainable practices.
