Organisations world-wide are facing increasing pressure to demonstrate their commitment to long-term value creation when it comes to sustainability matters. A growing number of stakeholder groups are demanding greater transparency from companies across a broad range of issues, like climate change, modern slavery, employee health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, and many more. Businesses that fail to act in this space risk potential impacts on their corporate reputation, risk mitigation, market opportunities, culture and even employee value proposition.
While there is currently no universally standardised format for sustainability reporting, organisations are choosing to measure and report on their identified sustainability risks, opportunities and performance.
BDO can support your organisation with:
No matter what stage you’re at in your sustainability journey, we can help to determine your ESG baseline and identify the opportunities to drive positive change for your organisation.
We can assist your organisation to identify and implement reporting frameworks, integrated non-financial reporting, stakeholder communication and third-party assurance, in a way that best suits your needs.
From our Sustainability learning hub and free ESG webinars, to Board education and tailored sustainability management programs, we can help to provide your people with the skills and education they need.
Whether you’re addressing your impacts on the planet, people or community, or looking to improve your governance systems, we can help to ensure your organisation continues to create sustainable value for your stakeholders.
Any great journey starts with a plan. BDO’s Sustainability Integration Roadmap identifies five levels of ESG maturity for companies to aspire to.

Our 2023 Sustainability Report showcases the issues and initiatives we worked on across the financial year under the pillars of people, planet, prosperity and principles of governance, highlighting the shifts and changes we’ve made since publishing our first report in 2022.
Through 2023, we focused on refining processes. As we strive to progress our sustainability journey, we are ensuring we have robust, consistent processes that allow us to better measure and openly report on metrics that are important to us and play a critical role in our sustainability story.
We know we have more to do, and we’re committed to furthering our contribution to the advancement of society, the transparency of business, the protection of the planet, and to support of our people.
