Recognition
Who checks the numbers?
We do, or we prepare you for the auditor who will. ESGweise issues independent limited and reasonable assurance on ESG and GHG data under ISAE 3000, ISSA 5000 and ISO 14064-3. Where your financial auditor will assure instead, we build the evidence file and working papers they will ask for.

- Assurance readiness Controls, data trails and working papers in place before the assurer arrives.
- ISO internal audit Internal audits of ISO management systems, single standard or integrated.
