Reporting

ESG publications

Assala transparently publishes our approach to ESG considerations in our annual ESG report.

Since 2019, we have presented our ESG journey, and strengthened our reporting on a yearly basis, to ensure we give a transversal view of our operations, as well as meet our various stakeholders’ expectations.

In our ESG reporting, Assala aims to provide transparent, useful information on many aspects
of our business.

Our reports are available here.

Frameworks

To ensure transparent reporting, Assala adheres to various international reporting standards and frameworks to support with robust, comparable ESG reporting. We benchmark our reporting against industry best practice.

We undertake regular audits of our activities, including our Environmental Social Action Plan (ESAP) with reference to the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standards, as well as our Environmental Management System, verifying that it meets ISO 14001 standards. The results of these key audits are disclosed annually in our ESG reports.
