COMPLIANCE.

Ensure Regulatory Confidence, Mitigate Risks, and Drive Sustainable Growth

DID YOU KNOW?

Non-compliance with sustainability regulations can cost businesses up to 4% of annual turnover in fines and penalties.

Sustainability compliance is complex and overwhelming, with evolving regulations, industry standards, and reporting requirements. Many companies struggle with data confidence due to the fragmented nature of sustainability data, making independent management a challenge. This often results in disclosure risks, greenwashing accusations, brand damage, and leadership credibility concerns.

Bernard Jacobs

DIGITAL DIRECTOR

During his tenure at GCX, Bernard combined his formal accounting training, his IT skills and worked together with the highly skilled technical team at GCX and its associates to develop the GCX GCX Data Analytics and Sustainability Hub (DASH-).
