Demand from stakeholder groups on increased transparency and disclosure of non-financial parameters has resulted in a growth of sustainability reporting. External assurance or verification is regarded as a key element, providing credibility to and ensuring the quality of the reporting system and the report itself. Verification by an independent third party, like DNV, also contributes to improved reporting processes as part of your internal management system.

On this Sustainability Reporting homepage, we will help you understand the what and why of sustainability reporting—what it is and why your business will benefit from reporting on your performance in this way.

Partner with DNV for:
Verification of your sustainability reporting to the DNV Verification Protocol for Sustainability Reporting. The principles and concepts of the Protocol are aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines and the Assurance Standard AA1000AS. It also applies to sustainability reports based on other principles.

The road to verification will help you prepare for an independent audit. Verification will explain what the actual process entails.
