Branan Environment launches support services for companies preparing for assessment under the SOCB Standard

Branan Environment is expanding its consulting service offering by launching support for companies preparing for assessment under the Standard for Public Capital of Business (SOCB). We support clients throughout the process, from an initial readiness assessment to the preparation of reporting, supporting documentation, and assistance during external assessment and verification.


For many companies, preparation for such an assessment is not merely a non-financial reporting exercise, but a practical project involving the establishment of internal processes, the structuring of data, the development of an evidence base, and the improvement of disclosure quality. For this reason, Branan Environment offers not a purely formal document-preparation approach, but comprehensive expert support focused on delivering a clear, verifiable, and credible outcome.

This new service line builds on Branan Environment’s existing expertise in ESG, sustainability, environmental and social auditing, regulatory compliance analysis, reporting support, and the enhancement of corporate management systems. This enables us to approach preparation for SOCB assessment as an integrated assignment requiring methodological rigor, strong analytical capability, and well-organised internal coordination.

The Standard for Public Capital of Business (SOCB) was approved by Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2230 dated 30 December 2025 and became effective on 17 February 2026. The Standard establishes the format of public non-financial reporting and the procedure for verification of an organisation’s compliance with the prescribed indicators, while its application remains voluntary.

Within this new service line, Branan Environment provides support across all key stages of preparation, including an assessment of the company’s current level of readiness, identification of gaps and deficiencies in data, processes, and internal documentation, development of a prioritised roadmap, methodological support in the preparation of non-financial reporting, structuring of the supporting evidence package, and advisory support during external assessment and verification.

Branan Environment provides practical support for preparation for SOCB assessment, ranging from the determination of the initial level of readiness and the scope of work ahead to targeted expert assistance in relation to reporting, supporting evidence, and verification readiness. We help companies translate the Standard’s requirements into a workable system of documents, data, procedures, and evidence, reduce implementation risks, address weaknesses in disclosures, and organise the preparation process in a structured and results-oriented manner.
