Today more than ever companies are expected to measure and report on their environmental, social and governance performance. This data is increasingly being used to inform important business and investment decisions, and as such there is more scrutiny being placed on the accuracy of this data. Obtaining external assurance or validation of the data can help companies to improve their internal processes and provide confidence to their stakeholders regarding the robustness of the data and the decisions based on it. In this episode, we will speak with Jose Villalon, Corporate Sustainability Director from Nutreco about the ins and outs of undergoing external validation and assurance to provide a succinct overview of the processes and outcomes from both options.
