How we can help

With decades of experience supporting corporate sustainability disclosures, the team at ADEC ESG works to ensure that your organization is prepared to meet whatever reporting challenges lie ahead. From materiality assessments to complete climate transition plan development, we’ll meet you wherever you are on your sustainability journey.

Our multidisciplinary team works collaboratively with yours, combining technical reporting expertise with practical implementation support across climate strategy, risk management, and ESG reporting. Each service is customized for your organization, enabling you to build a reporting approach that can meet both jurisdictional IFRS requirements and stakeholder expectations in a way that is aligned with your broader sustainability vision.

By helping organizations translate reporting requirements from Australia’s ASRS to Japan’s SSBJ Standards, the Philippines’ PFRS Standards and beyond into a cohesive reporting approach, ADEC ESG produces clear, credible disclosures to support your long-term sustainability goals.

Services provided include:

Gap analysis and readiness assessments

A gap analysis is a hands-on process that evaluates your current state against IFRS standards and/or jurisdiction-specific requirements, pinpoints exactly where you fall short, and translates those insights into clear, prioritized actions—so you know what to focus on and how to move forward. Uncover gaps in your documentation, reporting strategy, internal controls, and overall ESG program to build momentum and readiness for IFRS reporting.

Scenario analysis

Strengthen your decision-making process with a climate-related scenario analysis that models a range of potential impacts from physical climate change, regulatory developments, low-carbon transitions, and other factors across varied future conditions. By building upon the outcomes from your climate risk assessment, our team will highlight how the risks and opportunities identified will evolve under different future conditions.

GHG emissions support

We’ll set a solid foundation for your reporting program with comprehensive GHG emissions services, including target-setting, mitigation strategy development, and scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory development. Ensure your GHG emissions data is accurate and reliable with our data collection, calculation, centralization, and recommendation services.

Verification services

We provide independent verification (assurance) for greenhouse gas emissions, waste, water, and energy data, ensuring the accuracy and credibility of your reporting. Certifications with the American National Standards Institute’s National Accreditation Board (ANAB), British Columbia Ministry of Environment, California Air Resources Board, The Climate Registry, DEQ Oregon, and the Washington Department of Ecology demonstrate our commitment to rigorous quality, technical excellence, and delivering credible assurance that you can rely on.

Climate risk assessment and mitigation

Build a deeper understanding of your climate-related physical and transition risks and evaluate how these risks may affect your operations, strategy, and business resilience. Our team will work closely with you to identify key risk areas and develop targeted mitigation strategies.

Climate transition advisory

Work with us to build a robust climate transition plan for your organization. We’ll assess transition risks and opportunities, help you engage key stakeholders, and define strategic decarbonization pathways that translate your strategic climate ambition into action.

Materiality assessments

A double materiality assessment integrates financial materiality and impact materiality. It identifies the ESG factors that most affect your company and that your company most affects, giving you deeper insight into both the financial impact of sustainability factors and their broader global implications. Understanding your company from a double materiality perspective gives you the ability to consider a wider, longer-term view on ESG risks and opportunities, in addition to impact-related and financial outcomes. Our team evaluates ESG topics across the value chain, highlighting key areas and clarifying where to focus your sustainability and business strategy.
