As stakeholder expectations grow and regulatory requirements evolve, sustainability assurance is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s an essential part of credible reporting and sustainability performance measurement.  

But what exactly is sustainability assurance, and why does it matter? AccountAbility has prepared a helpful toolkit, Sustainability Assurance: What You Need to Know, to break down the basics and highlights how using the AA1000 Assurance Standard (AA1000AS v3) can strengthen an organization's reporting, improve ESG outcomes, and build stakeholder trust.

Snapshot of what this deck provides:

  • Offers a detailed explanation of how assurance works — verifying your organization’s non-financial data, systems, and processes against credible standards.  
  • Outlines the increasing demand for assurance across jurisdictions and industries, driven by investors, regulators, and other stakeholders who want to ensure sustainability information is reliable and decision-useful.
  • Shows how the AA1000AS v3 fits seamlessly into today’s reporting ecosystem by offering a flexible, principles-based approach tailored to your organization’s needs and maturity level.
