Over the last four years, we have worked with more than half of the Global 500 companies from 150 offices, 40 countries and through over7,000 professionals. We have a diverse client base which includes corporates across most sectors.

Our ERM CVS assurance team provides high quality assurance engagements across the full range sustainability information and has done this credibly for over 25 years. Due to the importance of climate and broader sustainability strategy and commitments, the importance of disclosing third-party verified data and setting carbon neutral goals and net zero claims has significantly increased.
