Critical Assessment of Carbon Footprint

Critical assessment is a quality assurance process for the carbon footprint, ensuring the compliance, consistency, and transparency of emission calculations. Through critical assessment, it is verified that the carbon footprint report is conducted according to guiding standards and that the methods used and choices made in the calculations are justified and consistent.

The result of the critical assessment is a report and statement that includes feedback, development suggestions, and recommendations for improving the quality of the calculations. We provide independent third-party critical assessments to ensure your company’s carbon footprint compliance with standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol or ISO standards.

In addition to critical reviews of carbon footprint calculations, our experts also verify LCA studies and perform verifications for environmental product declarations (EPD documents).

Critical assessment brings credibility, especially when your company has conducted the calculations itself. Reliably verified environmental and climate data are part of the sustainable development strategy of responsible companies. Critical assessment not only ensures that the carbon footprint calculation is accurate and reliable but also helps identify potential areas for improvement in handling environmental and sustainability data. The process can provide insights for more efficient ESG data management and handling.

Critical assessment offers the company an opportunity to demonstrate to its stakeholders that it takes its climate impact seriously and strives to continuously improve its operations. This can enhance the company’s reputation and competitiveness in markets where sustainability is increasingly important.

Through critical assessment, the company can also prepare for future regulatory requirements and market trends. Many markets and customers demand more transparency and responsibility, and critical assessment helps the company meet these expectations.

Our experts verify the carbon footprint calculation carried out internally by your company or the study conducted as a consultancy. We deliver critical assessments on a turnkey basis or recommend suitable verification partners from our extensive network if your company wishes to advance the matter independently.
