obtaining an independently verified statement by an internationally recognized body like WECERT is a significant achievement. A verified statement provides stakeholders with increased confidence that your declared information has been assessed against defined criteria and supported by objective evidence.

Once issued, a verified statement is a powerful communication tool that sends a clear message to clients, regulators, and other stakeholders that your organization is committed to transparency and accuracy. Using the WECERT verification mark and referencing your verified statement appropriately can also provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

While the main benefit of a verified statement is increased confidence and accountability, it can also be a strong point of distinction and a practical way to set your organization apart.

Demonstrate your commitment to transparency by communicating your verified statement to customers and stakeholders.

The WECERT verification mark stands for reliability and trust. Communicating with this internationally recognized mark—when used correctly and within the approved conditions—adds value to your brand and supports clear recognition of your verified statement.

WECERT issues verified statements and/or verification reports based on documented evidence and agreed criteria. These outputs should be referenced accurately to ensure communications remain clear, consistent, and not misleading.

As an organization holding a WECERT verified statement, you may display the verification mark in digital and print promotional materials, taking care not to misrepresent the scope of the statement or imply certification of products or services where this is not applicable.

Guidelines for mark and statement use are available to help ensure your communications are accurate, consistent, and aligned with approved conditions—so you gain the full reputational benefit of your verified statement.

How can you promote your statement?

As important as social media is to broader communication, short-form content is not always the best place to explain a verified statement in depth. Consider publishing supporting materials such as FAQs, case studies, brief reports, or stakeholder updates that provide context—what was stated, what criteria were applied, and what period or scope the statement covers.

When sharing your verified statement on social platforms, you may use relevant hashtags, link to the statement (where permitted), and tag WECERT to increase visibility—while ensuring all claims remain accurate and within the approved scope.
