About Us
The National Audit Office (NAO) is an independent parliamentary body in the United Kingdom responsible for auditing the accounts of all government departments and agencies, as well as a wide range of other public sector bodies. It plays a crucial role in ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, providing Parliament with the information it needs to scrutinize public spending effectively.
The NAO is committed to promoting sustainability within its operations and the wider public sector. It has integrated sustainability considerations into its audit processes, evaluating the environmental and social impacts of government policies and programs. The organization is dedicated to reducing its own carbon footprint and has implemented measures to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste in its offices.
While specific ESG reports or sustainability certifications for the NAO are not widely publicized, the office's commitment to sustainability is evident in its efforts to incorporate environmental considerations into its audits and recommendations. The NAO continues to explore ways to enhance its sustainability practices and contribute to the UK's broader environmental goals.
