ESG Reporting & Sustainability Assurance

Overview

ESG reporting has moved from a voluntary, marketing-adjacent exercise to something investors, lenders and increasingly regulators expect to be prepared with the same discipline as financial statements. LeapWise supports businesses in preparing sustainability disclosures under IFRS S1 and S2 and the GRI framework, provides independent sustainability assurance, and develops climate-risk modelling to help businesses understand and disclose their exposure.

We work with businesses that are new to structured ESG reporting as well as those refining existing disclosures ahead of investor, lender or regulatory review, building a reporting process that is credible under scrutiny, not just well-presented.

Our Approach

Materiality Assessment

We identify which ESG topics are actually material to your business and stakeholders, avoiding generic, unfocused reporting.

Data & Framework Mapping

Available data is mapped against the chosen framework, IFRS S1/S2 or GRI, and gaps are identified.

Report Development

Disclosures are drafted to the framework’s structure and requirements, in the same rigorous, evidence-based manner as financial reporting.

Assurance & Climate-Risk

Where required, we provide independent assurance over disclosures and develop climate-risk modelling to support forward-looking statements.

A materiality-driven report, not a generic checklist exercise

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ESG reporting mandatory for our business?

Requirements vary by jurisdiction, sector, listing status and stakeholder expectations. We assess your specific position before recommending a framework or scope.

What is the difference between IFRS S1/S2 and GRI?

IFRS S1/S2 focus on sustainability-related financial disclosures aimed at investors, while GRI is a broader, stakeholder-focused sustainability reporting framework. We advise which fits your audience and obligations.

Can you provide independent assurance over a report we already produced?

Yes, we can review and provide assurance over existing ESG disclosures, independent of whoever prepared the original report.

What does climate-risk modelling actually involve?

It involves assessing physical risks (such as exposure to climate events) and transition risks (such as regulatory or market shifts) relevant to your business and disclosing them appropriately.
