It’s an incredibly exciting time to join PwC as we help our clients gain insights into the impact of sustainability on their business, while also helping them make a positive contribution to the environment and society.   

ESG Reporting & Assurance brings this to life by providing subject matter expertise on sustainability reporting to help clients protect and strengthen sustainability-critical business reporting, from people to performance, systems to strategy and business risk to business resilience. 

Your day-to-day could include: 

• Working closely with a range of clients and client engagement teams who report in accordance with a range of sustainability frameworks such as Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards and the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards, often using the GHG Protocol and PCAF measurement standards.   

• Supporting engagement teams as a subject matter expert as they deliver both limited and reasonable assurance engagements of clients’ sustainability reports in accordance with International Auditing Standards (ISAE (NZ) 3000/3410) and ISSA (NZ) 5000..  

• Building strong relationships with clients and our community of PwC’s global subject matter experts. 

• Staying ahead of reporting trends, challenges in sustainability reporting and working with other subject matter experts, clients and auditors to solve complex reporting problems and identify pragmatic solutions.
