Success Story
ESG Report Assurance Builds Investor Confidence
A mid-tier mining company released a GRI-based sustainability report, but investors questioned its reliability due to lack of independent verification.
BQCIS conducted limited assurance on key ESG metrics, including GHG emissions, safety statistics, and water use, using AA1000AS and ISAE 3000 criteria. Data trails and calculations were reviewed and verified.
