Independent assurance of your sustainability report — conducted entirely online. Evaluate adherence to AccountAbility Principles, verify performance data, and receive a formal assurance statement. 60% more affordable than large advisory firms.
AA1000AS v3 is the global standard for sustainability assurance, issued by AccountAbility. It evaluates how well your organisation identifies, prioritises, responds to, and measures the impact of its sustainability commitments.
Unlike financial audit standards, AA1000 takes a principles-based approach — assessing the quality of your sustainability management, stakeholder engagement, and reporting processes. The focus is on whether your organisation genuinely integrates sustainability, not just whether the numbers add up.
SEBI-mandated companies can use AA1000 alongside ISAE 3000 for BRSR Core assurance. AA1000 provides the principles-based framework that complements the data-focused ISAE approach — giving stakeholders confidence in both your processes and your numbers.
Every engagement evaluates your organisation against the four AccountAbility Principles — the foundation of credible sustainability management.
Are your stakeholders genuinely involved in decision-making? We assess identification, mapping, engagement channels, documentation, and whether feedback actually influences strategy.
Have you identified what truly matters? We evaluate your materiality assessment process, double materiality consideration, topic coverage, and boundary definitions.
Are you acting on what matters? We examine policies, targets, KPIs, progress disclosure, grievance mechanisms, and governance oversight of sustainability responses.
Are you measuring real outcomes? We assess impact methodology, quantitative metrics, stakeholder-disaggregated data, and whether impact evidence informs future strategy.
