Create Measurable and Sustainable Value
Sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations are reshaping today’s economy and creating opportunities for inclusive growth. Investors require more transparency on the impact of climate change on their investment strategies. Boards and C-suite executives increasingly integrate resilient practices into their business strategy to mitigate risks. Employees and customers want to understand what organizations are doing to positively impact the planet, and regulators seek mandatory disclosures to assess compliance while customers demand increased transparency in business processes.
These growing needs require organizations to create sustainability models that not only have a positive impact but also provide a competitive edge. CohnReznick is here to meet you where you are on your sustainability journey, combining our real-world experience with data-driven insights to create value by helping:

Decarbonization Strategy and SBTi Target Setting
We help you assess and improve the energy efficiency of your assets and supply chain by establishing a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions baseline and setting Science-Based Targets.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Calculations
Our team is experienced in calculating Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions for organizations of all sizes and industries, using both Excel-based models and sustainability software platforms. To support assurance requirements and state-level regulations, our approach emphasizes quality control, regulatory alignment, and identification of continuous improvement opportunities. -

Pre-assurance readiness assessments can help your organization avoid surprises before seeking limited assurance on sustainability and ESG data. Our team is well-versed in methodologies including ISO 14064, ISAE 3000, ISAE 3410, AICPA attestation standards, and global sustainability reporting regulations.

We provide clients with a detailed understanding of their ESG controls environment’s strengths and weaknesses, including a comparison to reporting and assurance requirements. -

We help organizations with strategic planning by prioritizing the most promising sustainability opportunities – from EV charging and renewable energy to resilience and energy efficiency – and translate them into actionable strategies. Our approach balances environmental and social goals with financial value creation, aligns stakeholder incentives, and builds investable plans with clear KPIs. By integrating governance, capital allocation, and continuous feedback loops, we position clients to capture funding, attract private capital, and lead in fast-evolving markets. -
Sustainability Strategy & Reporting
We align your operating and business models with ESG principles to unlock long-term value, whether through operational savings, supply chain resilience, impact on household savings, or ROI on “green” products. Our team supports regulatory compliance and global frameworks like IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, GHG Protocol, CDP, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We identify gaps, implement target operating models with controls, data management, and training for assurance readiness, and help build trust with investors, regulators, and customers. We also help design social strategies focused on employee health and safety, workforce development, DEI, labor compliance, and board diversity. -
Sustainable finance and ESG due diligence
We integrate ESG considerations into financial decision-making by assessing risks and opportunities tied to investments or operations. Our ESG Due Diligence service supports the full M&A lifecycle, from pre-deal screening to post-integration support, helping identify red flags, unlock value, and mitigate long-term risk. -
TCFD Climate Risk Assessment & (Double) Materiality Assessment
We provide education on what a changing climate means for your operations, scalability, and value chain. By evaluating physical and transition risks – from natural hazards to exposure to upcoming state-level regulations like California SB-26 – we guide you on building resilient strategies and disclosing them clearly to stakeholders and regulators through disclosure frameworks like the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. We help you prioritize material topics through materiality assessments, build a roadmap, and operationalize initiatives, as well as provide the tools to execute and track meaningful progress.
