Client Success Story
Context
A leading banking group is in scope of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and must prepare its first CSRD-compliant sustainability statement. With limited sustainability resources, fragmented digital solutions, and a positive business case for our services, the banking group decided to onboard our CSRD Reporting-as-a-Service solution.
Our services
We deployed our CSRD Reporting solution within 6-weeks and allowed the banking group’s sustainability resources to directly document their double materiality assessment and launch all data collection in our platform. The full CSRD report or Sustainability Statement was then prepared within our solution and shared with the auditors for review.
Outcome
The result? A robust, CSRD-compliant report, ready for assurance and future audits, delivered efficiently through our platform with a <1 year payback period.
"Choosing PwC's CSRD Reporting as a service solution was an easy decision for us because it was the most affordable option to prepare our CSRD report, allowed us to focus our resources on our customers’ sustainability priorities, and gave our management peace of mind. PwC takes the guesswork out of becoming CSRD compliant and allows us to focus on what’s really important – our sustainability message."
