GHG Verification and Validation Services
One of the most fundamental steps towards understanding the impacts of climate change and getting started on your net zero journey, is to conduct a greenhouse gas emissions quantification/assessment.
Verification is the process for evaluating a claim/environmental information statement based on historical data and information to determine whether the claim is materially correct and conforms with specified requirements.
Validation is a process that evaluates the reasonableness of assumptions, limitations, and methods that support a claim/environmental information statement about the outcome of future activities.

We have engaged with and offered verification services to numerous clients in a range of industry sectors:
