An ESG report with reference to the GRI Standards

CEO message, company profile, stakeholders and materiality matrix, environmental, social and governance chapters, targets and SDG contribution, and a GRI content index with statement of use. Or a short 8-page ESG summary.

No report data is needed for the first call: we only discuss scope.

Reports with reference to the GRI Standards need a GRI content index and a statement of use; both are generated for you.
