Findings 

Embracing ESG standards and reporting can be a daunting task. In order to assist companies, the JSE has collaborated with Findings, to enable companies to assess their ESG maturity and be guided through ESG framework submissions. The ESG landscape is ever evolving, and staying abreast of the changes is an ongoing challenge.

To assist with understanding readiness the JSE has released, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), international sustainability standards announced in 2023, IFR S1 and S2. IFRS S1 is for sustainability-related financial disclosures and IFRS S2 is for climate related disclosures. An S1 and S2 short form assessment is being made available on a complimentary basis for clients to experiment with the software and get a dip stick of their readiness.

As a paid service the JSE Sustainability Disclosure Guidance launched in in June 2022, has been added for clients to walk through their assessment and see how they fare against the framework.

Findings provide automated solutions designed for sustainability leaders like you, allowing you to leverage high-quality data, streamline your sustainability reporting, and align with global standards. Their frameworks for clients who have regulatory obligations in other jurisdictions, include but are not limited to:

• ESRS
• SFDR
• GRI
• Carbon emissions calculator (self-assessment and supply chain)

As supply chains become increasingly crucial to a company’s operations, companies are recognizing that achieving ESG compliance requires careful evaluation of their supply chains as a key component to their overall practices.

Findings enables you to survey your supply chain, improve your posture and rapidly meet best practice.
