It is moving from focusing on pure profitability to a relevant and sustainable business approach. We want to become your reliable business partner on the way to sustainable financial results!”

— reveals Natalija Zaiceva, Founder and Chairwoman of the Board at Orients Audit & Finance.

Our belief in the importance of sustainable business processes is strong, therefore as consultants with 20 years experience in the market we know that to provide advice on any area of expertise you have to start from yourself.

According to standard issued by the Sustainability Accounting Standard Board (SASB), which provides recommendations for determining essential sustainability aspects in various industries, the priority aspects in financial service industry are considered social and governance areas. Although environmental issues are not decisive from the Orients Audit & Finance’s industries materiality point of view, we believe that everyone's contribution is important on the way to climate neutrality. It is for this reason that we have calculated our CO2 footprint, aiming to expand the scope of the calculation in the coming years.

• Partnerships for the goals
• Good health and well-being

In order to promote achievement of sustainability goals, partner responsible for ESG area, Jekaterina Novicka, was appointed. As well as manager responsible for sustainability and ESG compliance services development - Natalja Roze, stepped in.
