ESG Translation Services
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria and reporting have evolved significantly over the last 20 years. It started with companies developing criteria to make environmentally sound decisions and reporting on the risks faced and activities undertaken to mitigate these risks both internally and externally. This evolved into sustainable development, as companies shared what they were doing to obtain and maintain their “social licence to operate” in the communities and countries where they worked. This has now evolved into ESG reporting expectations of the investors and government regulators.
The demands and expectations for good ESG reporting are continually increasing. The key to meeting these expectations is communicating with stakeholders in their own language. Companies need to clearly communicate their goals and progress towards achieving them.
AZ World’s team has over 25 years of experience in ESG translation and localization of documents related to environmental, sustainable development and governance activities of companies in several different industry segments. Our work recognizes and respects the cultural, social, religious, and political environments of each document’s intended audience to “bridge the language divide around the world”.
AZ World provides a broad range of translation services from technical ESG translations of environmental impact assessments, sustainable development reports and ESG reports for domestic, multinational and global companies.
AZ World strives for quality results. We accomplish this by only utilizing the services of highly-qualified bilingual and bi-cultural, professional linguists who are native-speaking certified translators, editors/proofreaders, and technical editors of the target language for each ESG translation. AZ World utilizes their knowledge of the language and subject matter expertise to produce the highest-quality translations.
Each ESG translation project is localized to the region and the intended audience, conforming linguistically, culturally and accurately. Localization is the key to a high-quality translation and is essential for its success in “bridging the language divide around the world”.
Our ESG translation services are further enhanced by our use of specialized translation software that incorporates a “translation memory”. Unique to each client, this memory is continually updated according to the client’s needs and the unique characteristics of each project. Each project is therefore customized, comprehensive and complete. Consistency of style, lexicon, sentence structure and details are maintained from project to project, reducing costs and increasing the quality of each translation.
Good orthography and grammar are elements that cannot be overlooked or considered lightly when a company’s reputation is at stake. At AZ World, we understand this and make it our mission to provide the most effective and efficient translation services possible.
With every translation service we make your goals our goals, and we do everything possible to ensure that your project goes above and beyond.

OUR PROCESS
Client Request
Client requests a fee quote for translation services for their document(s).
Analyze Document
We examine the document and text to be translated against our expertise, and assess our team’s availability. We run an analysis using SDL Studio, our translation memory software, with the client’s translation memory to develop a fee estimate and timeline for the translation services.
Translate and Edit / Proof-read
When the client engages AZ World, we perform the translation services within the agreed upon timeline. We create or update the client’s translation memory. We communicate with the client throughout the process to address any questions the translator may have to ensure that we capture the client’s terminology and style preferences.
Deliver
We deliver the translated document to the client. We update the client’s translation memory for any client feedback for identified or revised terminology and style preferences.
