Sustainability communication & reporting

Helping you tell your story, enhance your reputation and maximise the value of your sustainability efforts

Are you communicating your sustainability message to ensure your investment creates value for your business? It’s great PR, boosts brand reputation plus it encourages others to create a positive impact too. At RBC, we help businesses create compelling, cohesive sustainability reports and communications that really resonate.

Our practitioners help clients with sustainability reporting across the industry spectrum. And while the priorities and expectations may be different, one thing is the same – people are increasingly looking for sustainability credentials before making purchasing, partnering and investment decisions. That’s why transparent, meaningful communication about corporate responsibility gives you the competitive edge.

How we can help you communicate impact

Advising how you can best measure impact

As a Sustainability or Environmental Manager, you’re busy tracking many metrics from GHG emissions to senior management diversity levels and everything in between. But wouldn’t life be easier if your data was all in one place? We develop dashboards for recording, analysing and reporting, noting the metrics most relevant to your organisation. Armed with this information you can make informed decisions, provide timely updates to stakeholders and submit reports to regulators as required.

Review your current communications and recommend improvements

Are your sustainability reports a bit ad hoc? Are your messages and stories about initiatives hitting the mark? Are you unsure which reporting guidelines and standards to follow – GRI, AA1000, SDGs to name just a few? Let us review your reporting strengths and weaknesses. We’ll offer tailored recommendations for improving your approach and communicating your sustainability messages to create the impact they deserve.

Content development for your annual sustainability report

Developing a sustainability report can be a headache but we’re an experienced and safe pair of hands. We’ve been writing and reviewing sustainability reports for well-known Australian brands since 2007 and we’re familiar with all the milestones, including coordinating the assurance process. As project managers, we’ll keep the process and internal stakeholders on track. And because we’re also data nerds, we understand the importance of detail and a keen pair of eyes.

Conduct a pre-assurance audit of selected sustainability metrics or the report as a whole to prepare you for external assurance

Are you considering independent assurance on all or some metrics or elements of an existing sustainability report? It’s a great way to show stakeholders that you’re committed to providing a balanced, transparent and accurate account of performance. Let us help you get your ducks in a row. We’ve provided assurance at top tier professional services firms so you can trust that we know exactly where data errors are likely to occur and can help you improve your systems before an audit. Surprises are for birthdays not for business and because we know the process, we can help you get prepared.

You’re doing great things.
