Footprint verification

We provide independent assurance of corporate carbon footprint data. Organisations displaying the Carbon Trust Verified logo have genuinely measured an accurate carbon footprint in line with international best practice. Communicate your carbon footprint to your stakeholders with credibility and confidence through a robust and independent assessment by us.

Assessment Criteria and Process
To achieve Carbon Trust Verified status you will need to meet the footprint measurement criteria of the Carbon Trust Standard methodology. During the assessment process, an independent assessor will review your carbon footprint data. The carbon footprint must have been measured accurately and comply with international best practice in carbon accounting. This assessment will include visiting your organisation, and verifying the evidence contained in the application.

Verification
On successful assessment Carbon Trust Certification Limited will issue a verification letter, providing details of your verified footprint. Your organisation will then be able to use the Carbon Trust Footprint Verification logo to prove the credibility of your carbon footprint.

 
Whether you are submitting data to CDP or preparing your annual report, independent verification will add authority to your carbon disclosure.
 
Cost
The cost of verification depends on the energy bill of your organisation and the complexity of your footprint.  Our account managers would be pleased to give you a quote.
