Verification & Assurance · Independent Assurance
Sustainability disclosures that investors can rely on.
Independent assurance of ESG and climate-related disclosures against GRI, SASB, TCFD, and ISSB/IFRS S2 — the frameworks shaping global reporting expectations.
Credibility that greenwashing risk cannot survive.
As sustainability reporting frameworks move from voluntary to mandatory, organisations face a growing expectation that their ESG disclosures are independently assured — not just internally reviewed. EDAT provides limited and reasonable assurance opinions on corporate sustainability reports, climate-related financial disclosures, and ESG data sets.
Our assurance engagements assess whether your disclosed information is materially accurate, prepared in accordance with the applicable framework, and supported by adequate underlying data and controls. The result is an assurance opinion that gives investors, lenders, and regulators the confidence to act on what you publish.
Standards & Frameworks Applied
Why this matters
Disclosure Credibility
An independently assured sustainability report carries weight that self-certified disclosures cannot match in regulated or investor markets.
Greenwashing Protection
Documented, evidence-based assurance creates a defensible record that protects against regulatory challenge and reputational risk.
Investor Readiness
Institutional investors and ESG-linked lenders increasingly require assured disclosures before allocating capital or setting favourable terms.
Regulatory Preparedness
Get ahead of mandatory assurance requirements under CSRD, ISSB/IFRS S2 adoption, and emerging African disclosure frameworks.
How the engagement works
Framework Alignment
Confirm the applicable reporting framework (GRI, SASB, TCFD, ISSB/IFRS S2), boundary, materiality threshold, and assurance level required.
Evidence Review
Assessment of reported data, underlying evidence, internal controls, and data collection processes across all material disclosure topics.
Assurance Opinion
Independent technical review and issuance of a limited or reasonable assurance opinion in the format required by your intended users.
