Process

How it works

  2. Step 02

    Evidence gathering

  3. Step 03

    Opinion and statement

    An independent reviewer confirms the conclusion before the validation or verification statement is issued.

FAQ

Common questions

What information do we need to provide?

Your GHG statement or inventory report, the methodology and emission factors used, activity data such as fuel, electricity and refrigerant records, and a description of your data management and controls. A detailed information request is issued at the planning stage.

Do you help us calculate our emissions?

No. To remain impartial, GQCL verifies GHG statements but never prepares them. Your inventory may be prepared by your own team or by any consultant.

Can Scope 3 emissions be verified?

Yes. Relevant Scope 3 categories can be included in the verification scope, subject to the availability and quality of data. The categories covered are stated in the verification statement.

Is a site visit always required?

Site visits are determined by the risk assessment. They are normally required for a first verification and for significant emission sources, and may be conducted remotely where the risk is low and the programme permits.
