ESG Advisory
Working together on sustainability and ESG
Doing business sustainably has long ceased to be optional; it is an opportunity for stronger, forward-looking and socially engaged business. Clients and financial relations are interested in your organisation’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance. You may be wondering:
Which ESG themes or topics should I focus on?
How do I collect reliable data on my impact on people and the environment?
How do I embed sustainability in my business strategy and processes?
How do I comply with all the (legal) frameworks for sustainability reporting?
We’ll be happy to help. Baker Tilly’s ESG Advisory team offers practical advice and innovative solutions that truly fit your organisation and your growth targets. From strategy to compiling a sustainability report; we make your ESG goals concrete and achievable.
Easy insight into your ESG performance
Do you regularly receive questionnaires on ESG from clients or other business relations? And do you want insight into the measurable impact of your sustainability initiatives? Our specialists will help you get a clear picture of what ESG data and KPIs are relevant to your business
With our ESG Hub, we bring together all relevant ESG information and organise it clearly. Think data points, explanations and the ability to add source documentation. If you already have reports, for example for ISO or EcoVadis, we will build on that. And we support you in setting up or expanding your data collection. This makes it easy for you to answer stakeholder questions and improve the quality of your ESG data, step by step.
From ESG ambition to action
Do you want a successful ESG strategy that really works in practice, not just on paper? We help you embed sustainability in your operations - with clear goals, concrete actions and an approach that fits your organisational culture.
We work with you to determine which strategic ESG themes are relevant to your company. Think CO₂ emissions, sustainable packaging or better working conditions. This is how we translate your sustainability goals into concrete actions that really deliver, both for your organisation and for society.
A transparent sustainability report
Are you working on your first sustainability report? Or do you want to check whether your existing ESG reporting complies with current laws and regulations, such as the Voluntary Guidelines for SMEs (VSME) or the mandatory European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)?
Together, we create a sustainability report that shows where your organisation stands on sustainability, as well as what you are working towards. In this way, you proactively answer ESG-related questions from your stakeholders. And just as important: you inspire (future) employees with the positive impact of their work.

Making an impact by reducing your carbon emissions
Want to know the climate impact (or carbon footprint) of your organisation or products? And do you want to set clear and achievable carbon reduction targets, for example based on the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi)? Measuring your carbon footprint gives you immediate insight into your direct and indirect impact on the climate. This shows you exactly where you have the best opportunities for reduction.
Our specialists will help you map out the scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. We will then work together on a realistic and effective transition plan with clear goals, smart strategies and practical actions that suit your organisation.

Does your company need to comply with the CSRD?
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires organisations in the EU to report on their sustainability policies and results. On 26 February 2025, the European Commission presented the Omnibus simplification package; a proposal that relaxes elements of the CSRD, CSDDD and the EU Taxonomy. Curious about what these changes mean for your organisations?
Deforestation Regulation (EUDR): is your organisation ready?
The European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) brings new and far-reaching administrative requirements for companies trading in products such as beef, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy and wood. Depending on your role in the supply chain, you have to comply with the new rules. Large companies must do this by 30 December 2025, SMEs by 30 June 2026. Without a ‘due diligence statement’, you are not allowed to put your products on the EU market or export them. Is your organisation ready?
VSME standards: voluntary, but valuable
The VSME standards provide a framework for sustainability reports by SMEs. Using this framework is voluntary, but helps you better meet the information demands of large customers covered by the CRSD. In this way, you easily and proactively satisfy ESG-related questions from your major customers.
