Frequently asked questions

Short, plain answers to what South African business owners ask us most.

What is ESG reporting?

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. ESG or sustainability reporting is a structured report on a business's environmental impact, social practices and governance, increasingly requested by large customers and funders.

Why would a small or medium business need an ESG report?

A growing number of customers, especially JSE-listed companies reviewing their supply chains, now ask suppliers for ESG data, often through questionnaires. TBL Accounting builds a right-sized report rather than a listed company's ESG department.

How does ESG reporting connect to B-BBEE and governance?

The same data often serves more than one reader, so we connect ESG reporting with your B-BBEE work and your governance framework instead of building them separately.

Do you provide ESG assurance?

No. Formal assurance of a listed company's own ESG disclosures needs a specialist assurance provider. TBL Accounting helps you collect the data and draft the report.
