FAQ
What is ESG claim verification?
ESG claim verification is the independent review of sustainability-related disclosures, targets, and financial products to ensure they are credible, evidence-based, and aligned with international standards.
Why do companies and investors need ESG verification?
Regulators, investors, and the public increasingly scrutinize ESG claims. Independent verification reduces the risk of greenwashing accusations, protects reputation, and builds stakeholder trust.
How is this different from a financial audit?
A financial audit focuses on financial accuracy, while ESG verification evaluates the credibility of sustainability claims, investments, and disclosures. It complements financial audits by addressing non-financial risks.
Which standards and frameworks do you use?
We benchmark against international frameworks such as the EU Taxonomy, ICMA Principles, UN Sustainable Development Goals, GRI, and SASB — always tailored to the client’s context.
What types of organizations benefit from ESG due diligence?
Banks, asset managers, investors, corporates, and development institutions — anyone issuing, investing in, or reporting on sustainability-linked products or ESG performance.
How long does a typical verification take?
Depending on scope, it can range from 2–4 weeks for a statement check to several months for a full due diligence of complex portfolios.
