In a world where climate transparency and environmental accountability are becoming business essentials, Sustainacert International Certification Issuing Services has expanded its portfolio with the launch of Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV) services.

This initiative enables organizations worldwide to measure, verify, and communicate their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with confidence — aligning with international standards such as ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-3, and the GHG Protocol. Sustainacert’s CFV program reinforces its mission to enhance transparency, traceability, and trust in sustainability performance.

Driving Global Climate Responsibility

As the effects of climate change accelerate, governments, investors, and consumers demand credible climate data from businesses. Carbon footprint verification ensures emission reports are accurate, traceable, and transparent — key components for achieving sustainability goals and building stakeholder trust.

Sustainacert’s CFV services support organizations in quantifying their direct (Scope 1), indirect (Scope 2), and value-chain (Scope 3) emissions. Through independent third-party verification, businesses gain the assurance that their environmental disclosures meet the highest international standards.

“Today, carbon accountability is no longer optional — it’s a fundamental expectation,” said Tapas Sharma, Sustainability Operations Manager at Sustainacert International. “Our Carbon Footprint Verification services empower companies to demonstrate their real impact, enhance investor confidence, and align with global climate disclosure frameworks.”

Key Benefits of Carbon Footprint Verification

• Transparency & Credibility: Verified data assures stakeholders that emission claims are genuine, improving brand integrity and reducing greenwashing risks.
• Regulatory & Market Compliance: Supports compliance with global climate reporting standards such as the EU CSRD, TCFD, and national GHG disclosure mandates.
• Investor & Consumer Confidence: Demonstrates accountability to investors, ESG analysts, and eco-conscious consumers seeking verified environmental performance.
• Operational Efficiency: Identifying emission sources helps optimize processes, reduce energy costs, and improve overall environmental performance.
• Support for Carbon Neutrality & Net Zero: Provides a verified baseline for Net Zero strategies, offsetting programs, and Science Based Targets (SBTi).

Global Reach, Local Expertise

Sustainacert’s verification network spans Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia — leveraging a team of qualified environmental auditors and carbon verification experts accredited under ISO 14065 and ISO 17029 standards.

With deep understanding of regional regulations and market dynamics, Sustainacert assists organizations across sectors — manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, textiles, and energy — to achieve verified climate performance and measurable progress.

Empowering a Low-Carbon Future

The Carbon Footprint Verification initiative underscores Sustainacert’s dedication to supporting the global transition toward a low-carbon economy. By merging international best practices with practical implementation, Sustainacert enables companies to report responsibly and take meaningful climate action.

“Verification is not just a reporting exercise — it’s a catalyst for change,” added Mr. Tapas Sharma. “By understanding their carbon footprint, organizations can take real steps toward emission reduction, climate resilience, and sustainable growth.”
