Verifying Your Commitment to Responsible Mining

In today’s mining industry, a credible Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy is essential to maintaining investor trust and social license to operate. Stakeholders demand transparent, verifiable data on emissions, safety, water management, and community impact. Independent assurance of ESG performance has become a global expectation.

BQCIS offers comprehensive ESG & Sustainability Assurance services aligned with leading international frameworks such as GRI, SASB, and TCFD. Our experts help mining clients verify disclosures, assess compliance with global standards, and enhance the credibility of sustainability reporting.

Services include independent verification of GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2, 3), AA1000AS and ISAE 3000 assurance engagements, social compliance audits (SA8000, SMETA), and verification of ESG-related claims such as water use, biodiversity, and ethical supply chains.
