Verification and sustainability
The output of verification is not a certificate but a VERIFICATION STATEMENT for a defined reporting period. Impartiality is decisive: the party that made the calculation cannot verify it — consultancy and verification are obtained from separate bodies.

Greenhouse Gas Verification
Independent verification of greenhouse gas assertions at organisation and project level. The output is not a certificate but a VERIFICATION STATEMENT, and it belongs solely to the reporting period verified. The impartiality rule is decisive: the party that performs the calculation cannot verify that same calculation.
Product and Resource Footprint
Studies based on life cycle assessment (LCA): calculating a product's carbon and water footprint and its environmental performance. The result depends on the system boundary and the functional unit; if those two definitions change, so does the result.
Product Carbon FootprintCalculation and verification of a product's climate impact across its life cycle.
Water FootprintAssessment of water scarcity and water quality impacts on a catchment basis.
LCALife cycle assessment and critical review.
EPDA verified environmental product declaration prepared according to product category rules.
Climate and Environmental Claims
Verification of the basis of claims made publicly. Regulation in this field is tightening fast: an environmental claim whose basis cannot be shown may count as a misleading commercial practice.
Sustainability Assurance
Provision of independent assurance over publicly disclosed sustainability data. An assurance engagement is not a certification: its output is a limited or reasonable assurance statement, and the level of assurance is stated explicitly in the report.
ESG Data AssuranceIndependent verification of reported environmental, social and governance data.
Sustainability Report AssuranceProvision of assurance over the sustainability report under ISAE 3000.
CBAM/SKDMEmbedded emissions reporting and verification under the carbon border adjustment mechanism.
Renewable EnergyVerification of a renewable energy use claim against certificates of origin.
Green Bond VerificationIndependent assessment of the green bond framework and the use of proceeds.
