Sustainability reporting and disclosures services for financial services

EY carbon accounting professionals aid in the technical interpretation of greenhouse gas accounting standards, including the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF). With the growing emphasis on regulatory frameworks such as TCFD, GRI and CSRD, there are increasing requirements for companies to accurately disclose their direct and indirect emissions. EY teams can support financial services organizations in the calculation of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by inputting experienced carbon accounting treatment and data analysis.

We leverage in-depth knowledge of the design of rigorous controls for sustainability reporting and disclosures, providing support in the review, design and implementation of end-to-end sustainability control and reporting frameworks. The development of a robust governance framework and a scalable process is crucial to embedding sustainability reporting across your financial services business and embedding it into BAU.

We perform Limited Assurance, Reasonable Assurance and Agreed Upon Procedure services on sustainability reporting and disclosures. We use a tailored Sustainability Assurance Methodology (EY SAM) which targets our testing on aspects of sustainability reporting and disclosures that matter most, so that the approach is focused and efficient. EY SAM is aligned with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 and is tailored to Sustainable Finance, supporting the ability to provide financial services companies and their stakeholders with transparency, trust and confidence in sustainability reporting and disclosures.
