Verification of your environmental data
Reduce risks through compliance and assurance
Greenhouse gas (GHG) and wider environmental reporting can be risky. Mandatory reporting under SECR and equivalent schemes means key information about your business is being pushed into the public domain.
For many businesses, environmental disclosure is a new and complex endeavour and they recognise the crucial role third party verification can play in mitigating the risk of getting it wrong.
After all – businesses don’t put unaudited financial data into the public domain – so why would they do this for environmental data?
Why verify environmental data?
Independent verification of your environmental data brings a host of benefits:
- Enable investor and internal confidence – independent confirmation of the validity of data builds credibility and instils confidence in decision making
- Mitigate reputational risk – the costs of getting environmental disclosures wrong can have a significant impact on the brand image and consumer confidence
- Score better in sustainability indices – the right type of verification can score top marks in the CDP and meet the requirements of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), providing the opportunity to outstrip competitors
- Ensures alignment with best practice – third party verifiers bring a wide view of the whole environmental reporting landscape – recommendations from the verification process can substantively improve your reporting approach
So how can we help?
Avieco have worked with numerous large organisations to provide independent verification of GHGs and wider environmental and health and safety reporting.
We help you choose the rights standard (AA 1000, ISAE 3000 and ISO 14064:3) for the reporting you have produced.
Verification does not need to be a costly, time-consuming and onerous process. Our outstanding track record tells us that our clients find the process valuable and insightful from start to finish.
Make verification a regular part of your reporting process.

I was impressed with the thoroughness and level of detail that our data set was analysed in. Presenting an extensive data set in an easy to use format was of great value in communicating the outcome of the work internally, and prioritising areas of the supply chain for future action.

Avieco have helped us increase our transparency and identify areas where we can have the greatest impacts for carbon emissions reduction. They have always tailored their approach to suit our business needs and made time for us so it has never felt like we are ‘one of many’.
Jess Blincow, Corporate Responsibility Advisor, ASOS
Avieco has been the preferred environmental consultant since the beginning of our journey to become a sustainable company. Dentsu Aegis has worked with Avieco’s experts on various areas, such as carbon footprint reporting and assurance support, and recently also advised us how to switch our global network to renewable electricity. The team’s expertise on environmental sustainability is impressive, and the work delivered is always of highest standard.
Lars Holm, Global Senior Manager CSR, Dentsu Aegis Network
Avieco informatively led us through the processes needed to reduce our carbon footprint. With their clear and concise advice we have been able to effectively reduce our energy and waste levels. Avieco made the complex notion of energy efficiency into a manageable and achievable reality
Nigel Pink, Group Engineering Manager, Dominos UK & Ireland Ltd
Avieco delivered exactly the workshop we needed to get our sustainability team and regional leads on the same page when it comes to ‘market-based’ reporting. It’s a challenging area to tackle for a global business – particularly when we operate in a number of markets where there is little or no choice in terms of energy purchasing. Avieco has given us the knowledge and tools to ensure we get our disclosures right – they really exceeded my expectations for what we could achieve in one afternoon!
