What is an SPO?
Benefits of Our SPO Services
How to Obtain a Second Party Opinion (SPO)
- Engage with DQS to clearly define the scope of your SPO engagement.
- DQS needs to be provided with all necessary documentation and information about the project or financial instrument, including its objectives, intended use of proceeds, and environmental and social impact assessment.
- We will discuss the specific sustainability framework against which the SPO will be conducted.
- DQS will conduct an independent assessment of the project or financial instrument against the chosen sustainability framework.
- This assessment may involve reviewing relevant documentation, conducting interviews with key stakeholders, and visiting project sites (if applicable).
- DQS will analyze the environmental and social risks and impacts associated with the project or financial instrument.
- DQS will prepare a comprehensive report outlining their findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
- The report will provide an independent opinion on the alignment of the project or financial instrument with the chosen sustainability framework.
- The report may also include suggestions for improvements or mitigation strategies to address any identified risks or impacts.
- The SPO report can be used to enhance the credibility and transparency of the project or financial instrument.
- It can be shared with investors, lenders, and other stakeholders to demonstrate the project's commitment to sustainability.
- The SPO can also be used to guide ongoing monitoring and reporting on the project's environmental and social performance
