Verification & Validation

Winning Trust through Standardized and Comparable Confirmation Services

Organizations make a wide range of sustainability, climate, and ethical claims, from environmental performance to responsible business conduct. Regardless of the nature of these statements, investors, customers, and business partners expect them to be truthful and reliable and supported by robust evidence.

DEKRA offers verification and validation services to assess whether sustainability-related information and results are accurate, consistent, and based on recognized methodologies. These services enable organizations to substantiate their claims, reduce compliance and reputational risks, and demonstrate credibility in increasingly regulated and transparent markets.

Your Benefits

Ensure credible and standards-based carbon data

Independent verification and validation confirm that greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints are accurate, consistent, and aligned with recognized standards and regulatory requirements.

Achieve verifiable sustainability outcomes

Carbon-related activities and disclosures result in measurable, independently confirmed outcomes that stand up to regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny.

Reduce compliance and reputational risks

Early identification of inconsistencies and methodological weaknesses helps prevent non-compliance, misstatements, and greenwashing risks.

Build confidence with stakeholders

Independent third-party assessment increases confidence among investors, customers, regulators, and business partners in reported carbon and GHG information.

How We Support You

Organizations must ensure that sustainability-related statements and reports are based on consistent and reliable methodologies to support verification and validation. As climate, environmental, and ESG disclosures expand in scope and complexity, ensuring comparability, methodological consistency, and traceability across different types of information becomes increasingly challenging. Without a uniform and recognized basis for verification and validation, results may lack consistency and robustness.

What Is Validation?

Validation is the assessment of statements or data related to future events, assumptions, or planned activities. It examines whether underlying methodologies, projections, or project designs are plausible, consistent, and based on recognized approaches before implementation. Validation therefore focuses on the reliability of intended outcomes and forward-looking information.
