Building trust in your ESG information—so stakeholders can rely on it

Stakeholders, including regulators, investors, boards, and customers, are increasingly seeking complete, accurate, and decision-enabling sustainability information—often referred to as “investor-grade” reporting. Independent assurance plays a crucial role in boosting confidence in ESG metrics and disclosures, aligning with evolving reporting requirements and bridging credibility gaps.

At PwC Thailand, we’re committed to helping organisations transition from basic reporting to robust, reliable reporting you trust. We focus on assurance over ESG information, emphasising readiness, data quality, governance, and controls.

Independent assurance over ESG information

We offer ‘limited’ as well as ‘reasonable’ assurance engagements over selected ESG information, adhering to leading standards such as ISSB IFRS S1, IFRS S2, TSFD, GRI, and agreed criteria.

  • Limited assurance primarily involves inquiry-based procedures and analytical reviews, with limited testing of source data and controls.
  • Reasonable assurance involves a deeper level of work, akin to a financial audit, with extensive testing of source data and control effectiveness for higher confidence.

Typical assurance standards and their subject matter include:

  • ISSA 5000 for auditing and verification of sustainability reporting
  • ISAE 3000 for sustainability/ESG information assurance (nonfinancial information)
  • ISAE 3410 for assurance over GHG emissions information
