Does PSAA require its contracted audit firms to demonstrate how they will minimise environmental impact/address climate change issues?

PSAA’s audit services contracts covering the audits from 2018/19 to 2022/23 include a clause in relation to ‘Co-operation with PSAA on environmental issues’. This states that “Throughout the Contract the Supplier shall co-operate with PSAA in seeking reasonable and practical ways to improve the sustainability of the delivery of the Services”. There is a requirement for our contracted firms to consider environmental issues.

Our contracts covering the audits from 2023/24 to 2027/28 require auditors to co-operate with us in seeking reasonable and practical ways to improve the sustainability of the delivery of the Services.
