Carbon footprint is now one of the most critical ESG indicators. Third-party verification ensures your data is credible, transparent, and aligned with international standards. It not only strengthens your reporting, but also highlights opportunities to improve and accelerate progress toward climate goals. Verified data can also improve your score in initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), helping you demonstrate leadership in sustainability.

our approach

As a neutral partner, we work according to globally recognized frameworks, including ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol. Depending on your needs, we provide: 

  • Organisational carbon footprint verification 
  • Assessment of reduction plans and net zero claims 
  • Verification to support green finance and carbon neutrality claims

Our audit process is designed to be efficient and practical: from defining the scope and timeline, to checking data accuracy and issuing an official verification statement. This gives you a robust basis for compliance and external communication in a short time frame.

OUR VERIFICATION PROCESS

Working with clients, our carbon footprint verification process typically involves:

1.Preliminary meeting to agree on the scope of assessment andexpected timeframe
2.Establishment of an audit plan, including current disclosures, supporting data and existing calculation methodologies
3.Audit of reported carbon footprint data for accuracy
