Frequently asked

ESG advisory — common questions

The questions that come up most often before scoping. Bring more to the discovery call.

Which disclosure framework should we use?
It depends on where you are listed, who your investors are and whether you have EU exposure. UK premium-listed companies are TCFD-mandatory today. UK groups with EU subsidiaries may be in scope for CSRD/ESRS. The ISSB standards are emerging as the global investor baseline. We map your obligations across all three.
What is double materiality?
Double materiality means assessing both how sustainability matters affect your business (financial materiality) and how your business affects people and the environment (impact materiality). It is the foundational step for CSRD / ESRS and increasingly informs TCFD and ISSB disclosure too.
Do we need assurance on our ESG disclosures?
CSRD requires limited assurance from 2024 reporting and moves to reasonable assurance once feasible. UK premium-listed TCFD reporting is comply-or-explain rather than assured. We design data architecture to be assurance-ready from day one — cheaper than retrofitting later.
Is ESG reporting still worth doing if we aren't legally required?
Increasingly yes. Investors, lenders, customers and major procurement frameworks now ask for ESG data routinely. Voluntary CDP, EcoVadis and B Corp disclosures often unlock commercial access well before regulators arrive.
