• Report analysis, GRI application level check and assurance

BSD has developed a family of tools to evaluate existing reports against quality frameworks, stakeholder expectations and communication guidelines defined by the UN Global Compact and GRI (including application level checks and materiality tests).

Stakeholder based evaluation tools are applied to increase our clients’ “license to operate”, as well as the added value and relevance of reports to their audiences.Our evaluation results advise clients on improvement opportunities for reports and management systems.

A broad range of companies have already benefited from the application of BSD evaluation tools like Relata, Relata Stakeholder and Relata G3.

• Implementation of sustainability reporting systems

We support clients in the design and implementation of effective reporting cycle systems aligned with key instances of stakeholder engagement, strategic revision and assurance.

Effective reporting systems help strengthen communication and alignment across the organisation, and provide much needed efficiency in the quest for trust-building, accountability and transparency.

• AA1000 Assurance

As a specialist in the Accountability framework, BSD also provides AA1000AS based assurance and commentaries for sustainability reports developed independently from our consulting services.
