Build trust with investors, stakeholders and clients
‍Having your carbon emissions data validated professionally by climate science experts illustrates your dedication to transparency and sustainability. Investors are increasingly on the lookout for sustainability-focused organisations that
show strong environmental and social responsibility. 69% of employees want their companies to invest in sustainability
efforts (Deloitte). Striving towards being a more environmentally-conscious company improves
employee engagement, retention and attracts new talent.

Verification allows you to stay ahead of developing environmental regulations and guidelines. Supporting regulatory compliance reduces the risk of penalties and legal problems. Additionally, verifying carbon data can enable organisations to recognise and manage potential environmental challenges and protect against reputational risk through potentially unsubstantiated claims.
