VERRIFICATION

 

Verification is a process in which an independent body reviews and evaluates an organization’s data, information, or claims regarding environmental impacts, greenhouse gases, or carbon footprint to ensure their accuracy, completeness, reliability, and conformity with international standards.

WhAT’s VERIFICATION
STATEMENT

A Verification Statement is an official written declaration issued by an independent verification body after completing a verification process. It confirms that the verified information, data, or claims have been assessed and found to be accurate, reliable, and in conformity with specified standards, criteria, or requirements, within a defined scope and level of assurance.

WECERT provides verification services that deliver objective, evidence-based confirmation that specified requirements are met, helping organizations reduce risk and strengthen confidence in their processes, data, and reported results. Where applicable, WECERT issues verification statements and reports based on agreed criteria and documented evidence.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ROLE OF VERIFICATION BODIES

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges, largely driven by human activities that increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Fossil fuel combustion, land-use change, industrial processes, agriculture, and waste management significantly contribute to climate impacts, including rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and ecosystem disruption. In this context, reliable measurement, transparent reporting, and independent verification play a critical role in ensuring credible climate-related data and supporting effective mitigation actions.
