Deloitte Risk Advisory B.V. announced that it has partnered with leading ESG software provider, Datamaran, to enhance its Sustainability External Assurance process using patented technology.
The partnership allows Deloitte Risk Advisory B.V. to expand its research and analytics capabilities, by conducting assurance of sustainability disclosure by providing evidence-based insights.
"With more companies expected to require Limited Assurance under the proposed Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in the EU, we are proud to empower some of Deloitte's Assurance professionals with data-driven information," said Datamaran's CEO Marjella Lecourt-Alma.
Powered by artificial intelligence, Datamaran is a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that provides a data-driven process for identifying and monitoring external ESG risks and opportunities. The Datamaran platform enables evidence-based insights and a near real-time assessment of material ESG risks that can be tailored to a client's sector, geography, or stakeholder context.
"We are positive that Datamaran's capabilities will support our ESG risk scanning as we plan and conduct our sustainability assurance engagements. With the CSRD fast approaching, it will keep us on top of our clients' sector-specific risks, and support our staff in their work," said Vanessa Otto-Mentz, partner in Deloitte Risk Advisory Sustainability Services.
