Background

About Mitchell Askew

I’m a Senior Consultant in BDO’s Risk Advisory Services practice, supporting public, private, and non-profit organizations in delivering on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities and enabling effective technology transformation. My work focuses on helping clients implement sustainability strategies, enhance digital governance, and improve performance through risk assessments, internal audits, and independent third-party reviews (ITPRs). Across my projects, I’ve contributed to business readiness assessments, program evaluations, and guidance on ESG disclosure practices aligned with leading frameworks like the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standards, and World Economic Forum (WEF) metrics. I’ve worked on initiatives involving climate strategy, reconciliation, affordable housing, and digital modernization, often helping teams align their strategic goals with the right data, controls, and reporting structures. With an Honours Bachelor of Commerce and experience across a wide range of governance, transformation, and sustainability mandates, I bring a well-rounded perspective to advisory work. I’m passionate about driving value through evidence-based decision-making, supporting change management, and helping organizations meet evolving expectations around both ESG performance and digital accountability.
