Service 04 · ESG & Sustainability Advisory

ESG and sustainability advisory for Pakistani companies

ESG disclosure is moving from optional to expected in Pakistan. Regulators, investors, lenders and export buyers increasingly ask companies how they manage environmental, social and governance risks, and Pakistan now has its own ESG index. PIVRA has researched Pakistan's ESG framework in depth. We help companies understand where they stand and report credibly.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are you an auditor or assurance provider?

No. PIVRA advises on and helps prepare ESG disclosures. If you need independent assurance of a report, we can work alongside your auditor.

We have never done ESG reporting. Where do we start?

With a gap assessment. It tells you what you already have, what is missing and what to prioritise, usually within three to five weeks.

Do you work with unlisted companies?

Yes. Many of our ESG enquiries come from exporters and private companies responding to buyers, banks and investors.

How much does a project cost?

Every project is priced on its scope, so we quote each one individually. Tell us what you need and we will send a written proposal with a fixed price or a clear budget. The proposal is free and there is no obligation.
