Sustainability Services
Our Sustainability Offering
Sustainability and ESG reporting are rapidly becoming integral to how organisations demonstrate resilience, accountability, and long‑term value creation. Regulatory expectations are increasing, stakeholder scrutiny is intensifying, and many organisations are preparing for formal sustainability disclosures and, ultimately, assurance.
At Black Maple, our sustainability offering is grounded in analysis, governance, and assurance readiness. We support organisations in understanding sustainability requirements, preparing robust and decision‑useful disclosures, and ensuring that sustainability information can withstand independent review and assurance.
Our approach is pragmatic, proportionate, and aligned with leading frameworks, including ISSB, GRI, and other relevant standards, depending on the organization’s size, sector, and regulatory environment.
We provide end‑to‑end support across the sustainability reporting lifecycle, with a clear separation between preparation and assurance and operational implementation.

What We Do
Supporting Sustainability Improvement
In addition to our assurance‑led sustainability services, we recognize that many organizations also require practical support to improve sustainability performance and outcomes.
For this purpose, Black Maple works alongside a strategic third‑party sustainability advisory firm based in California, TML Consulting. TML specializes in operational sustainability improvement, helping organizations translate sustainability objectives into measurable actions.
TML’s services include:
Sustainability scorecards and performance metrics
Operational sustainability improvement initiatives
Data quality and process enhancement
Ongoing sustainability management support
This collaboration allows clients to access both:
Independent, assurance‑focused sustainability expertise (Black Maple), and
Hands‑on sustainability improvement support (TML),
while maintaining a clear separation between implementation and assurance activities.
Our Approach
Our sustainability offering is designed to be:
Independent – preserving the integrity of assurance and review work
Scalable – suitable for organisations at different stages of sustainability maturity
Framework‑aligned – grounded in recognised international standards
Practical – focused on decision‑useful, credible sustainability information
We work closely with management teams, boards, and stakeholders to ensure sustainability reporting is not only compliant, but meaningful and sustainable over the long term.
