ESG Report Verification
ESG Report Verification provides assurance that your Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures are trustworthy, relevant, and aligned with market expectations.
As ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting becomes a key part of corporate strategy and financial evaluation, organisations must ensure that their disclosures are not only well-intentioned but also independently verified.
ESG Report Verification involves the assessment of non-financial disclosures related to environmental impact, workforce diversity, governance policies, ethical practices, and more. ACA provides third-party verification services tailored to leading global frameworks such as TCFD, SASB, GRI, and ISSB (IFRS S1/S2).
Our experienced auditors evaluate your ESG data accuracy, reporting processes, internal controls, and alignment with materiality principles. Whether you’re publishing a standalone ESG report or embedding disclosures within your sustainability or annual reports, our assurance services help build investor trust and improve ESG ratings.
With ACA’s ESG verification, you demonstrate that your organisation is not only performing responsibly, but transparently.

What is ESG Report Verification?
ESG verification is a third-party evaluation of your organisation’s ESG disclosures. It checks the accuracy, reliability, and completeness of non-financial data reported in areas such as emissions, diversity, governance, ethics, and supply chain practices.
Why is ESG verification important?
Verified ESG reports build trust with investors, customers, and regulators. With the rise of ESG ratings and stakeholder pressure, third-party assurance ensures your disclosures are not viewed as greenwashing, but as credible, data-driven statements.
Which standards or frameworks do you verify against?
We can verify ESG reports aligned with:
- TCFD (climate disclosures)
- GRI Standards (environmental and social metrics)
- SASB (industry-specific KPIs)
- ISSB / IFRS S1 & S2
- CDSB and SDG frameworks
Our audit is tailored based on your reporting framework and material topics.
What ESG data do you review?
We evaluate:
- Environmental: Emissions, energy, waste, water, climate risks
- Social: Labour practices, DEI, community impact, human rights
- Governance: Board structure, ethics, anti-corruption, compliance
We assess both quantitative data and qualitative narrative.
Who should get their ESG reports verified?
Any organisation that reports ESG data, whether for public listings, sustainability-linked financing, investor relations, or stakeholder engagement, can benefit from verification. It’s especially relevant for listed companies and companies in high-impact sectors.
What is the verification process like?
- Pre-assessment and scope alignment
- Review of reported ESG metrics and claims
- Evaluation of source data and controls
- Stakeholder interviews (where applicable)
- Issuance of an assurance statement
How long does ESG verification take?
Depending on report complexity, the process takes 3 to 6 weeks. We work closely with your reporting team to ensure a smooth process.
