Suffering from sustainability anxiety?
Most clients are dealing with incomplete or missing data and concerns about possible misrepresentation or greenwashing. That is understandable.
Many are anxious about receiving a call or email from a customer, a journalist, an NGO, an investor or even a board member challenging their sustainability messaging.
We understand. We are here to help. We give you confidence that what you produce is complete and trusted.
Speeki can help!
Need verified emissions data?
Need your sustainability report assured?
Want to achieve ISO certification?
Want to label products with sustainability features?
Can we afford assurance for our non-financial assets?
We focus on making assurance a competitive advantage for our clients.
We build better workplaces, better employees and better culture.
-
We engage people to drive the non-financial assets of the company forward. We encourage them to think about impacts, risks and opportunities for the business. We push them to achieve international best practices and adopt global standards.
-
We drive a culture across the workplace, suppliers, regulators, executives and customers that recognises that managing non-financial assets creates value for shareholders and stakeholders.
We improve financial and non-financial performance.
-
Investors who can trust the assessment of your non-financial assets – including bribery management, sustainability reporting and AI governance systems – are more likely to value higher.
-
Most non-financial assets have a major financial impact if they are underdeveloped, poorly executed or give rise to major crises. Managing these non-financial areas according to international standards will reduce related costs.
We find opportunities to improve, be strategic and lead.
-
Our focus is to drive improvements in your management systems and your internal policies, procedures and controls. We strongly believe our role as an assurance provider is to make you better.
-
Our team are all business experts that have worked in small and large companies for many years. We understand the realities of business and what may and may not be achievable.
Use our AI-powered platform Engage® to supercharge your assurance system.
Better performance through better assurance.
As an independent assurance body, our only goal is to validate your performance and show where improvement is needed year after year. We demonstrate to stakeholders that what you report is accurate and trustworthy.
Drive assurance rather than letting it drive you
In our 15 years of working on assurance matters, first in the anti-bribery space and now across the broader ESG and sustainability market, one thing has become clear and remains true today.
Companies that wait for a crisis before addressing remediation and improvement through audit and certification always pay more, take longer, experience significant organisational stress and almost always face leadership change midway through the process.
Don’t be that company. With basic preparation and by following our five-step process, you can drive assurance.
Case examples

Rebuilding after a corruption scandal
Speeki is a global leader in certifying anti-bribery management systems under ISO 37001. Certification under this standard reduces compliance risks and creates opportunities through better ESG ratings, lower regulatory exposure and reduced criminal liability for executives.
By driving compliance, our certified clients build their reputation, strengthen trust, reduce risks and secure a competitive advantage.
They realise that if they slip up on integrity, their whole value proposition becomes untrusted.

A supply chain with serious integrity issues
Speeki is a global leader in reviewing and auditing supplier transparency, due diligence, onboarding and risk management.
By driving better supplier compliance, our client now has a clearer view of their supply chain partners. They have lowered reputational risk, reduced human rights and environmental issues in their supply chain and identified areas where they can work with suppliers and add value to society.
They realise that they will be held responsible for their suppliers, irrespective of how they have sought to manage contractual risk.

The media makes an allegation of greenwashing
Speeki is a global leader in assuring sustainability reporting. Whether it is your full report prepared as part of your annual reporting schedule or a simple website statement, we review your representations and provide assurance.
Have comfort that Speeki as your independent assurance body has reviewed your statements and reporting and minimised your risk of incorrect sustainability or ESG representations.

Your bank imposing ESG rules around your loans?
ESG and sustainability are now conditions in most loan agreements. Banks and financial institutions hold companies accountable for meeting targets on emissions and other material factors.
Lenders expect you to report accurate metrics that reflect reality. Are you prepared for this? Do you have a substantive assurance programme in place?
Assurance from Speeki helps you meet loan requirements and reduce borrowing costs through credible assurance of your ESG metrics. Connect with us to learn how to build an assurance system your board is comfortable with.

An investor at the annual meeting raises your assurance strategy for ESG
Are you ready for an activist investor at the next shareholder meeting? Activists are making annual proxy statements more challenging, with many issues now focused on ESG and sustainability.
Assurance brings independence to this process. It provides air cover, clear third-party support and reassurance to concerned investors. Speeki understands the challenges of annual meetings and the role of independent assurance.

ESG ratings agencies controlling you?
ESG and sustainability ratings agencies are everywhere. They assess your company based largely on publicly available information and, occasionally, on data you provide. Much of this information does not accurately reflect your organisation and often fails to generate sufficient scores.
Assurance improves ESG ratings by strengthening the quality of underlying data. ISO certification in key areas often leads to higher scores and, in areas such as anti-bribery and governance, ISO 37001 certification can result in a full score.
“Assurance builds trust.
Great assurance builds trust and value.”
— Scott Lane, CEO of Speeki and Lead Auditor in Speeki’s ESG and sustainability practice
