Energy Transition and Net Zero: The Caribbean Pathway to a Low-Carbon, Energy-Independent Future

April 6, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Energy Transition Is the Caribbean’s Greatest ESG Opportunity The Caribbean has a relationship with energy that is simultaneously one of its greatest economic vulnerabilities and one of its most compelling strategic opportunities.

April 6, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

April 6, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

ESG Is Not the Future of Caribbean Business. It Is the Present — and You Are Already Behind.

March 28, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Caribbean’s most significant development finance providers, international partners and sophisticated investors are applying ESG screens to every engagement decision they make. If your organisation cannot demonstrate ESG credibility, the capital and market access you need are already flowing elsewhere. ESG is not a reputational exercise for Caribbean businesses. It is a capital access requirement,...

ISO 14001 in Practice: Auditing Environmental Management Systems

March 15, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

ISO 14001:2015 is the world’s most widely adopted environmental management system (EMS) standard. It provides a structured, Plan-Do-Check-Act framework that organisations use to identify, manage, and continually improve their environmental performance. For internal auditors, ISO 14001 is both an audit criterion — a standard against which an organisation’s EMS can be evaluated — and an...

Board ESG Oversight: What Good Governance Looks Like Under Audit

March 15, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

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. From fashion brands claiming circularity to financial institutions marketing ‘green’ products backed by fossil fuel investments, the gap between sustainability claims and sustainability substance has attracted the attention of regulators, prosecutors, and institutional investors worldwide. 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. Understanding how to audit climate risk — from physical hazard assessment through to Scope 1, 2,...

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...
