Strengthening trust in sustainability reporting

The standard aims to strengthen confidence in sustainability reporting and, when finalized, will serve as a comprehensive, stand-alone standard to provide limited and reasonable assurance. It is intended to be applicable to sustainability information that reports on all sustainability topics and is prepared in accordance with various frameworks. In addition, the standard is intended to be profession-independent so that it can be used by auditors and other professionals who perform sustainability audits.
