The regulatory moment

SECP's mandate is already in effect.

SECP made IFRS S1 and S2 sustainability reporting mandatory in December 2024. Phase I companies report from July 2025, Phase II from 2026, Phase III from 2027. Assurance is required from Year 2.

In December 2025, SECP expanded its ESG Disclosure Guidelines to cover all PSX-listed companies and public interest organisations, aligned with the Pakistan Green Taxonomy. Boards must now form Sustainability Committees.

Every listed company and public interest organisation in Pakistan now has sustainability reporting obligations. Most are not prepared.

Who we work with

Two audiences. One mission.

Listed Companies and Public Interest Organisations

You are in scope. Your reporting deadline is approaching. Governance gaps, missing data infrastructure, and limited internal expertise stand between you and compliance. Solvevia takes you from readiness assessment to disclosure-ready reporting.

Audit and Advisory Firms

Your clients are already in scope, and they are asking you first. Most firms don't yet have sustainability capability. Solvevia gives you that capability under your own brand.

Talk to Us

Compliance requires more than good intentions. It requires the right partner.

Solvevia helps Pakistani listed companies and professional firms navigate SECP's sustainability mandate, with technical rigour and deep local knowledge.

Our story

Why Solvevia exists.

Solvevia was founded by chartered accountants with global audit backgrounds and deep roots in Pakistan's corporate environment. We saw what was coming: SECP's IFRS S1 and S2 mandate would create demand for sustainability expertise that Pakistan's market wasn't ready to meet.

Most listed companies and public interest organisations have never produced a sustainability disclosure. Most professional firms don't yet have the capability to help them. The deadlines are already set.

Solvevia was built to close that gap, grounded in what SECP actually requires, not a global template with Pakistan bolted on.

We cover the full journey within one firm. For companies, we are the execution partner. For firms, we are the technical capability behind their practice.

Mission

Help Pakistani organisations meet SECP's sustainability mandate with technical precision, from first assessment to assured reporting.

Vision

To be Pakistan's most trusted sustainability advisory firm.

Core values

The principles that guide our work.

01

Technical Rigour

Grounded in IFRS S1/S2, the GHG Protocol, and ISSA 5000. No cutting corners.

02

Pakistan-First

Built around Pakistan's regulatory environment, not adapted from it.

03

Full Accountability

One firm, start to finish. No handoffs, no gaps.

04

Capability Building

Our goal is to make our clients self-sufficient, not dependent.

Why this matters now

The window is narrowing.

Phase I companies are already reporting. Phase II starts in 2026, Phase III in 2027. Assurance follows from Year 2, meaning Phase I companies need assurance-ready documentation by 2027.

Pakistan's sustainability talent pool is thin. Governance gaps are widespread. Most companies have no ESG data infrastructure and no in-house expertise.

Solvevia exists to close that gap, within a single firm.

Ready to understand where your organisation stands?

Talk to Us

A structured six-step model. First conversation to assurance-ready reporting.

Sustainability compliance touches governance, data, operations, and people at once. Solvevia manages the full journey so nothing slips through.

The six-step engagement model

How we take you from where you are to where you need to be.

Two engagement models

Structured around where you are.

Full Execution Partner

We deliver any or all service brackets, from readiness assessment to assurance-ready disclosure. Scoped as discrete projects or ongoing retainers.

Suited to

Companies beginning preparation. Firms wanting full white-label delivery under their own brand.

Capability and Talent Partner

For organisations that want to build internal capability over time. Learning programmes, workshops, and talent acquisition support.

Suited to

Organisations building an internal sustainability function. Firms developing their own practice over the medium term.

Why a single partner matters

No handoffs. No gaps. One firm, start to finish.

Most organisations end up juggling multiple providers, one for the gap assessment, another for data systems, another for the report. Every handoff loses time and accountability.

Solvevia covers the full lifecycle. Same team, same context, from first conversation to final disclosure.

The comparison

The case for an external partner.

Let's start with a scoping conversation. No commitment required.

Talk to Us

We assess where you are, design where you need to go, and map how to get there.

Advisory is the starting point for every compliance journey, before anything gets built, reported, or assured.

Start with a readiness assessment

Four advisory workstreams. One integrated picture.

01 Readiness and Materiality Assessment

What it is

An evaluation of how prepared you are, and which sustainability topics matter most to your business.

What we do

Gap analysis against IFRS S1/S2 and SECP's ESG Guidelines. Double materiality assessment covering both financial and impact materiality. Peer benchmarking. A prioritised compliance roadmap.

What you receive

Gap analysis report. Documented materiality assessment. Benchmarking summary. Compliance roadmap with deadlines.

02 Governance and Strategy Design

What it is

The governance architecture SECP requires for sustainability reporting.

What we do

We design your Sustainability Committee structure and TORs, define Board oversight, and integrate sustainability into corporate strategy, aligned with SECP's governance code.

What you receive

Committee structure and TORs. Board oversight framework. Strategy integration document. Governance alignment assessment.

03 Operations and Climate Risk Assessment

What it is

An assessment of your exposure to climate-related risks, as required under IFRS S2.

What we do

Physical and transition risk analysis across your value chain, scenario modelling under IFRS S2, and supply chain risk mapping.

What you receive

Climate risk assessment. Scenario modelling summary. Operational impact identification. Supply chain risk map.

04 Data and Technology Roadmap

What it is

The information architecture you need to capture, manage, and report sustainability data.

What we do

We map your existing data flows, identify gaps, recommend the right technology platform, and produce a GHG methodology framework ahead of implementation.

What you receive

Data flow mapping. Gap identification. Technology recommendations. GHG methodology framework.

Who this is for

For Listed Companies and Public Interest Organisations

If you haven't begun structured preparation, this is where you start.

For Audit and Advisory Firms

We deliver Advisory under your brand. You lead the client relationship, we provide the technical capability.

Advisory is the foundation. Everything else builds on it.

The gap analysis shapes implementation. The materiality assessment determines what must be disclosed. Skip this phase and everything downstream risks being built on the wrong priorities.

Why Solvevia

01

Grounded in SECP's actual requirements

Built around IFRS S1/S2, the ESG Guidelines, and the Pakistan Green Taxonomy, not generic global frameworks.

02

Double materiality done properly

A documented, defensible methodology, not a workshop exercise.

03

A roadmap you can actually execute

Scoped to your real constraints, timelines, and phase deadlines.

04

Seamless transition to implementation

Same firm, same team, from advisory through to build.

Not sure where your organisation stands? Start here.

A readiness assessment gives you a clear picture before you commit resource to anything else.

Talk to Us

We do the work. Turning advisory recommendations into systems, data, and operational reality.

Advisory tells you what needs to be done. Implementation is where it gets done, GHG inventories, data systems, policies, supplier assessments, decarbonisation planning.

Discuss your implementation needs

Five implementation workstreams. Built for SECP compliance.

01 GHG Inventory and Carbon Accounting

What it is

The quantitative foundation of your IFRS S2 disclosure, and the most technically demanding part of implementation.

What we do

We build your inventory across Scope 1, 2, and 3, using Pakistan-specific emission factors including NEPRA grid factors, with assurance-ready data collection and methodology.

What you receive

Completed GHG inventory. Pakistan-calibrated emission factor library. Documented methodology. Assurance-ready calculation workbooks.

02 ESG Data Systems Deployment

What it is

The technology infrastructure to collect and manage ESG data reliably.

What we do

We select, configure, and deploy your ESG data platform, integrate it with your existing systems, and test it for audit-readiness.

What you receive

Deployed data platform. System integration. Data pipeline documentation. Audit-readiness report.

03 Policy, Procedure and Internal Controls

What it is

The policies and controls that support credible, assurance-ready reporting.

What we do

We draft your environmental, social, and governance policies, including anti-harassment policy required under SECP's governance code, and the control frameworks behind your data.

What you receive

Environmental management policy. Social and governance policy suite. Anti-harassment policy. Controls framework.

04 Supplier and Vendor ESG Assessment

What it is

An assessment of your supply chain against ESG criteria, required for Scope 3 disclosure.

What we do

We assess your key suppliers, support Scope 3 data collection, and document supply chain risk for disclosure.

What you receive

Assessment framework. Completed supplier assessments. Scope 3 data inputs. Supply chain risk summary.

05 Target Setting and Decarbonisation Planning

What it is

Emission reduction targets and a decarbonisation roadmap, once your baseline is established.

What we do

We support science-based target setting aligned with Pakistan's NDCs and build a roadmap with interim milestones.

What you receive

Emission reduction targets. Decarbonisation roadmap. NDC alignment summary. Disclosure-ready target language.

Who this is for

For Listed Companies and Public Interest Organisations

Once your readiness assessment is done, this is where we execute.

For Audit and Advisory Firms

We deliver implementation under your brand. You manage the relationship, we do the technical work.

This is where obligations become reality.

A roadmap without implementation is just a document. The GHG inventory becomes the backbone of your disclosure. The controls become the evidence base your assurance provider relies on.

Why Solvevia

01

GHG methodology built for Pakistan

Pakistan-specific emission factors, not global defaults.

02

Assurance-ready from day one

Everything we build is designed to the standard your assurance provider expects.

03

Systems that integrate with what you have

We work with your existing ERP and finance systems, not against them.

04

Same team from advisory through implementation

No knowledge transfer. No scope gaps.

Ready to move from planning to execution?

Let us build the systems and controls your organisation needs to report with confidence.

Talk to Us

Preparing your disclosure. Making sure it holds up under independent review.

Reporting brings governance, climate risk, GHG data, and targets together into one disclosure. We make sure that when your assurance provider arrives, everything they need is already there.

Discuss your reporting needs

Three connected workstreams.

01 Sustainability Report Preparation

What it is

Your full sustainability disclosure, in line with IFRS S1/S2 and SECP's ESG Guidelines.

What we do

We prepare all four required pillars: governance disclosures, strategy disclosures including climate scenario analysis, risk management disclosures, and metrics and targets. Aligned with the Pakistan Green Taxonomy, structured for your Annual Report or as a standalone document. For audit and advisory firms, we prepare the disclosure under your brand. You review, sign off, and deliver to the client.

What you receive

Complete disclosure draft across all four pillars. Taxonomy alignment section. Report structured for Annual Report or standalone publication.

02 Audit Back-Office Support (For Audit and Advisory Firms)

What it is

White-label back-office support for firms delivering sustainability assurance engagements.

What we do

We handle the technical groundwork under your brand, working paper preparation, evidence compilation, methodology documentation, and technical review support.

What you receive

Working papers to your standards. Organised evidence packs. Methodology documentation. Technical review support.

03 Assurance Readiness

What it is

Preparation to ensure your disclosures are ready for independent assurance, before your auditors arrive. SECP requires assurance from Year 2 of reporting, for Phase I companies, that's 2027. Preparation must start now; assurance providers can't certify what wasn't properly documented.

What we do

We build complete evidence packs, document your GHG methodology defensibly, design controls to auditing standards, and prepare management representations. For firms, we provide GHG methodology review, controls testing, and documentation structured to ISSA 5000.

What you receive

Assurance-ready evidence pack. Controls documentation. Defensible GHG methodology. Management representation files. For firms: technical support structured to ISSA 5000.

Who this is for

For Listed Companies and Public Interest Organisations

Once implementation is complete, this is where we prepare your actual disclosure. You appoint your own auditor, we make sure they have everything they need.

For Audit and Advisory Firms

We provide the full reporting and assurance layer under your brand. Your firm signs, we do the technical work.

Preparation starts now, not later.

The assurance timeline

Organisations that build assurance-ready systems from the start avoid qualifications later.

Why Solvevia

01

Built on what SECP actually requires

Not adapted from generic global templates.

02

Assurance-ready by design, not afterthought

Every deliverable is built to the standard an assurance provider expects.

03

The same team that implemented, reports

No handoff, no knowledge gap.

04

For firms, you sign, we deliver

We operate entirely behind your brand, with no conflict of interest.

Your reporting deadline is set. Your assurance deadline follows.

Start preparing early and meet both without disruption.

Talk to Us

Building the internal capability organisations need. Because this can't stay outsourced forever.

Pakistan's sustainability talent pool is thin, and demand is about to accelerate sharply. Solvevia addresses this through structured learning programmes and two talent acquisition pathways.

Explore our programmes

Two workstreams: learning and development, and talent acquisition.

01 Sustainability Learning and Development

What it is

Structured programmes for finance professionals, sustainability managers, board members, and audit teams.

What we cover

IFRS S1 and S2. ESG Disclosure Guidelines and the Pakistan Green Taxonomy. GHG accounting and carbon literacy. Materiality assessment. Governance integration. Assurance standards including ISSA 5000.

How it is delivered

Cohort courses, in-house workshops, or self-paced modules. Relevant for ICAP, ACCA, and CFA sustainability pathways.

What you receive

Tailored learning programme. Course materials aligned to IFRS S1/S2 and SECP requirements. Competency tracking. CPD-relevant content.

02 Talent Acquisition

What it is

Targeted hiring support through two pathways.

Pathway 1: Trained Professionals

We source and place professionals who already have the technical knowledge.

Pathway 2: Build and Train

We identify high-potential professionals and train them through our programmes, tailored to your reporting context.

What you receive

Role scoping. Candidate sourcing and screening. Competency assessment. Onboarding support.

Who this is for

For Listed Companies and Public Interest Organisations

If you need an internal function that can manage future reporting cycles independently, this is the investment that makes it possible.

For Audit and Advisory Firms

Our programmes cover the IFRS S1/S2 knowledge base, GHG methodology, and assurance standards your team needs.

Capability building is what makes compliance sustainable.

Outsourcing works for the first cycle or two, but it isn't a permanent strategy. The organisations that manage this best use external partners to build internal capability, not to replace it indefinitely.

Why Solvevia

01

Pakistan-specific curriculum

Built around SECP's actual requirements.

02

Developed by practitioners

Delivered by chartered accountants with direct Big4 experience.

03

Aligned to certification pathways

Relevant for ICAP, ACCA, and CFA CPD requirements.

04

Integrated with delivery

Capability building can run alongside live engagements.

The talent gap is real. The window to address it is now.

Whether you need to hire or train, Solvevia has the pathway.
