Assurance
Gaining independent assurance of your company’s CR or sustainability report is vital to securing the trust of your stakeholders. It instils confidence that what you are saying about your performance has been subject to proper scrutiny.
Although uptake of assurance continues to rise, the assurance statements in many reports still tend to be limited to verification of data. At Two Tomorrows, we go far beyond that to examine how well the report addresses the issues that matter most to stakeholders.
Through this approach, we have for many years been a leader in the provision of independent assurance of sustainability reporting.
We typically base our assurance on the internationally recognised AA1000 Assurance Standard (AA1000AS). This means that, as well as providing an opinion on the quality and accuracy of your performance information, we assess your report against the three core principles of stakeholder accountability: inclusivity, materiality and responsiveness.
Today, we are the world’s number one assuror of reports using AA1000AS, according to figures from Corporate Register.
In our assurance statement, and in our feedback to you, we are not afraid to speak our mind. Unlike some providers, we will not shy away from offering meaningful opinion. The end result is assurance that achieves its aim: greater trust among stakeholders. In addition, our clients say they derive value from our recommendations as they help them focus on key areas of risk and opportunity.
