ESG reporting

Sustainability reporting as a blueprint for good growth

Compliance with regulation

Comprehensive ESG reporting lays the foundation for compliance with other ESG regulation. By structuring and bringing together reliable ESG data, the reporting process creates the evidence needed to meet statutory requirements, substantiate compliance claims and respond consistently to changing obligations.

Accountability towards stakeholders

Investors, suppliers and customers increasingly base their decisions on ESG track records. Regular, transparent and clear reporting on your sustainability strategy keeps your organisation attractive, even to the most demanding stakeholders.

Financial performance

Strong ESG performance leads to better financial results. Reporting can expose inefficiencies and make financial opportunities visible. Insight into ESG topics allows you to limit risks, strengthen your resilience and take your organisation to the next level.

Our approach

1. Reporting standard & double materiality assessment

Whether it runs via the CSRD, the VSME or other reporting standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS): your ESG reporting journey begins with choosing the reporting standard and gathering the necessary company data.

After an in-depth analysis of your business and the mapping of the value chain and the stakeholders within it, we carry out a double materiality assessment (DMA) together to identify material topics and Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IROs) for your business. We then bring the data gaps within your organisation into view and draw up a roadmap for reporting and compliance.

2. Reporting procedure & data collection

With the DMA in hand, our team starts drawing up the reporting procedure and the plan of action for data collection. We gather data and documents from various parts of your organisation. Think of your GHG emissions and energy consumption, but also of your policies on working conditions and governance structures. Together we determine the best methods for reporting. As soon as the necessary data has been gathered, we can start setting goals and developing strategies towards sustainability.

3. Setting goals, developing strategy & reporting

ESG reporting means that you set comprehensive goals to address your impacts, risks and opportunities and develop workable strategies to achieve those goals. The strategies contain a clear roadmap towards your goals and an overview of the financial consequences for your business. They are aimed at continuous improvement, both of your business and of your impact. In doing so we align goals and strategies with your business strategy in order to support and accelerate your sustainable growth. In that way we deliver a complete and transparent ESG report for your organisation.

Our vision

“Real sustainability begins with transparency: ESG reporting makes the invisible visible and is indispensable for every business that wants to prepare for the future.”

— Stef van Kleef

Why is ESG reporting important for your business?

ESG reporting is crucial in order to attract capital, meet requirements in the supply chain and retain your competitive advantage. Investors and customers expect transparent data on sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities. Preparing in good time for reporting under the CSRD or VSME helps you to spot risks, increase efficiency and seize opportunities. Starting early builds trust with stakeholders and positions your business as an ESG frontrunner that can adapt to changing sustainability expectations and regulation.

Which companies have to report under the CSRD, and when?

The CSRD applies to large companies with more than 1,000 employees and a turnover of more than € 450 million. In line with the Omnibus proposal, large companies must report in 2028 on financial year 2027. The full process, from double materiality through to data collection and reporting, usually takes 9 to 12 months. Starting now helps you build an audit-proof report, close data gaps and embed ESG in budgeting, procurement and operations, before approaching deadlines push up the pressure and the costs.

Which reporting standard (e.g. VSME, GRI, IFRS) is most suitable if your company does not fall under the CSRD?

Even if your company does not fall under the CSRD, the ESRS can be a useful framework for determining material ESG topics for your business, gathering reliable data and reporting in a structured and complete way. If you are an SME and looking for a more efficient reporting standard, the VSME helps you meet stakeholders’ questions quickly and prepare for other legislation. If you report as a company outside the EU, the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are relevant if your focus lies mainly on financial information, while the GRI offers a more holistic reporting approach in which you also map your social and environmental impact. Whichever framework it turns out to be, we assess the scope and draw up a tailored plan that suits the size and sector of your business.

What is integrated reporting and what does it deliver?

Integrated reporting, based on the Integrated Reporting Framework, looks beyond financial results and shows how your organisation creates value over time across six capitals: financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social and relationship, and natural capital. Instead of reporting sustainability topics separately from one another, it maps how your business model relies on and influences each of these capitals. An important strength of the framework is that you can quantify both your positive and your negative impact and express it in comparable units, which makes value visible and measurable. That quantification also makes it possible to determine the risks and opportunities that arise from your dependencies and impact, from raw material scarcity and vulnerabilities in the supply chain through to efficiency gains and stronger relationships with stakeholders. The result is an integrated picture that supports better strategic decisions and shows investors and other stakeholders how your organisation builds value over the long term.
