Verifying or auditing your carbon footprint strengthens your company's credibility. This assures authorities, customers, stakeholders and the media of the integrity, completeness and transparency of your calculations. Companies of all sizes and in all industries that calculate and communicate their carbon footprint and have a climate strategy in place can benefit from the additional expertise that verification brings.
Verification of the carbon footprint is relevant...
- for all companies that are required by law to calculate and publish their greenhouse gas emissions.
- for companies that voluntarily report their CO2 emissions to initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project.
- for smaller companies that contribute to environmental and climate protection.
The advantages of a verification
- Preparing for future legislation: Stay one step ahead of legal requirements.
- Risk management and potential for improvement: Identify and minimise risks associated with CO2 emissions and find areas with potential for improvement
- Credibility and responsibility: Strengthen credibility and trust among your stakeholders.
- Integrity: Independent verification ensures that your data is accurate, error-free and consistent, and has been collected and analysed in a transparent and reliable manner.
- Consistency: Verification by an independent company ensures that your data complies with established protocols.
