Sustainability reporting

ProCert's sustainability reporting services are aimed at all actors in all economic sectors.

Depending on the industry, there are sustainability ratings or sustainability standards that can also be certified. Although these can provide a valuable basis for reporting, they do not in themselves provide a structure for reporting. For certain companies above a certain size, there is a legal requirement that these companies must present an account in the form of a report. This report can and must be checked for credibility by authorised bodies in the legal area. However, this is not certification.

Sustainability reporting is increasingly becoming a legal requirement for a growing number of companies under Swiss and European legislation as part of the requirements for non-financial reporting in accordance with OR 964a and/or CSRD.

Sustainability report: Do I have to hire a specialist?

No, that is not necessary in principle. Especially if you start with a double materiality analysis, you will quickly recognise your fields of action. For these fields of action, such as emissions, waste, procurement practices, anti-corruption, employer-employee relations, diversity and equal opportunities, it may be useful to obtain expert advice.
