Board ESG Oversight: What Good Governance Looks Like Under Audit

The question I am asked most often by board members across the Caribbean is a variation of this: ‘We have approved an ESG policy, we get quarterly sustainability updates, and we have a board committee responsible for ESG. Is that enough?’ My answer is consistent: it depends entirely on whether those structures are functioning...

Auditing the Social Pillar: Supply Chain, DEI & Human Rights Assurance

March 15, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The ‘S’ in ESG — the Social dimension — is frequently described as the least defined, the hardest to measure, and the most difficult to audit. This characterisation is partly true and entirely consequential. Because social performance is harder to quantify than carbon emissions or board gender ratios, it is often either excluded from audit...

The Greenwashing Audit: Testing ESG Claims Against Evidence

March 14, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Greenwashing has become one of the defining governance and reputational risks of the ESG era.

For internal auditors and...

Auditing Climate Risk: Scope 1, 2 & 3 Emissions Under IFRS S2

March 14, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The ISSB’s IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures standard has fundamentally changed what regulators and investors expect from organisations when it comes to climate risk. For internal auditors, IFRS S2 represents both a new audit frontier and an urgent capability imperative.

From Policy to Proof: A Practitioner’s Playbook for Credible ESG Assurance

March 14, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Every organisation I speak with across the Caribbean acknowledges that ESG matters. They have policies. They have committees. Several have published sustainability reports. What very few of them have is the ability to answer, with confidence and supporting evidence, the questions that regulators, investors, and sophisticated counterparties are now asking. Questions such as: How do...

The ESG Audit Imperative: Why Caribbean Organisations Can No Longer Afford to Treat ESG as a Reporting Exercise

March 14, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

In boardrooms across the Caribbean, a familiar scene plays out each year: the sustainability report is assembled by the communications team, reviewed briefly by a senior manager, and published without meaningful audit scrutiny. The emissions data may be extrapolated from last year’s figures. The governance disclosures may reflect aspiration rather than practice. The social...

The Contract That Required a Report No One Had Written The managing director of a Caribbean agro-processing company had spent fourteen months negotiating a supply contract with a European retail group.

ESG Without the Greenwash: A Practical Framework for Caribbean Sustainability Reporting

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Sustainability Paradox The Caribbean exists at the centre of one of the defining paradoxes of modern business. The region is among the most climate-vulnerable on Earth – small island developing states where a single Category 5 hurricane can erase a decade of GDP growth, where sea-level rise threatens entire coastlines, where coral bleaching devastates...

Performance Management That Works: Turning Appraisals Into a Year-Round System for Caribbean Organisations

February 8, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Performance management fails in many Caribbean organisations for one simple reason: it is treated as an annual HR event instead of a year-round management system. When expectations are unclear, feedback is irregular, documentation is weak, and rewards feel inconsistent, performance conversations become tense—and leaders end up managing problems too late. This article outlines a practical,...
