PwC Bedrijfsrevisoren bv/ PwC Reviseurs d’Entreprises srl (hereafter “PwC Belgium”), a leading professional services provider, has partnered with Atlas Metrics GmbH (“Atlas Metrics”), a leading ESG reporting software provider, to streamline sustainability reporting for European companies. This collaboration combines PwC Belgium’s extensive expertise with Atlas Metrics’ advanced technology to help businesses navigate the complexities of ESG compliance.
A primary focus of this partnership is supporting Belgian established companies in scope for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This EU regulation involves various work streams, such as conducting double materiality assessments, collecting and reporting data according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS), reporting in accordance with the EU Taxonomy, publishing electronically tagged information, and audits. Implementing these processes is both expensive and time-consuming, especially for companies with limited dedicated resources.
PwC Belgium’s in-depth knowledge of corporate sustainability and industry-specific expertise, combined with Atlas Metrics’ all-in-one software, enables companies to efficiently meet growing ESG reporting demands:
Atlas Metrics provides significant time and effort savings through smart data transfer, automated calculations, audit-ready activity logs, and interconnected modules and accounts for streamlined compliance.
PwC Belgium provides customised support to businesses , assisting with scoping and managing requirements, integrating new technology solutions with existing operations and technological infrastructures, and preparing for audits.
“We are dedicated to staying at the forefront of technology and innovation to better serve our clients. Partnering up with startups and scale-ups such as Atlas Metrics highlights this commitment, offering a robust ESG solution that complements our expertise in business and regulatory compliance. We believe it is crucial to support and collaborate with startups, as they bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to the table. This collaboration allows us to provide our clients with a seamless, integrated approach to sustainability, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet their ESG goals. By joining forces, we believe we can deliver even greater value and support on their ESG journey”
– Thomas de Cuyper, Senior Director - ESG & Internal Control, PwC Belgium
“This partnership will not only simplify mandatory ESG reporting processes: with real-time insights into their non-financial performance and tailored support from industry experts, reporting organisations can optimise their sustainability data as a competitive advantage. We look forward to enabling more transparent and scalable sustainability management together with PwC Belgium.”
– Wladimir Nikoluk, CEO of Atlas Metrics
Through this collaboration, reporting organisations can expect:
Simplified compliance with evolving ESG regulations such as the CSRD
Time and resource savings in their reporting processes
Streamlined data collection, analysis, and reporting
Bespoke guidance from industry experts to prepare for audits and improve ESG performance
By leveraging the combined strengths of both partners, businesses can confidently meet regulatory demands, save time and resources, and better manage their sustainability performance.
